yes, there are no A330 inter-hub flts, the biggest plane you will see on the inter-hub flts are the 767's, i think there is 1 from CLT-PHL and 1 or 2 from PIT-PHL
Jump to postso far i haven't seen anything on any website about it today and its getting rather late in the day, so i doubt we will see anything released today, maybe in the next few days.
Jump to postvery interesting to see that while wants to increase service from PHL-ORD and PHL-ATL, these flts are all operated by 733's and 734's, even the flts from PIT and CLT to ATL and ORD are mainly if not all flown by 733's and 734's. i wonder if it has to do with a point i made earlier about the maximum ...
Jump to postas of Nov. 5th there are 6 330's operating to PHL:
MAN
FRA
CDG
LGW
SJU
FCO
after reading the first post, i began to wonder what the difference between the 2 planes is? Don't they both carry 50 pax, so whats the difference?
Jump to postfrom the sounds of the original post,it sounds like this express operation would really be serving some focus cities throughout FL's route network rather than ATL, such as PHL, BWI, MDW, and of course the florida destinations. hopefully PHL will see a lot of these flts, they have plenty of gate spac...
Jump to postNo, i dont work for Delta but i do know someone who's been working for Delta for years. I am also a Delta fanatic
As for delta 732's in PHL, we got quite a few of them from ATL about 2 or 3 yrs ago
no offense, but Delta is and has operated a low-cost subsidiary, Delta Express. They are simply changing the aircraft on the routes to allow them to compete with the low-fare carriers of the Northeast better. Now personally i dont think its too smart to phase in the 732's into mainline service. But ...
Jump to postlet me stress that i said "appears" by no means do i think this is absolutely official, i just merely think that there is a Very Good chance of this happening
Jump to postyes very true, but normally if this type of news is released by this site it normally has some factual information to back it up.
Jump to postyeah, there have been a lot of md-88's on the ATL-PHL route recently, hopefully within a couple of months we will see at least one 767 on the route. it was only 4 years ago, when delta had 3 767's a day at PHL, now all we have is 5 757's and the 738's and md-88's and maybe 1 or 2 727's
Jump to postCRJ-50 seats
CRJ-700 -70 seats
EMB 135-35 seats
EMB 140-40 seats
EMB 145-50 seats
EMB 170-70 seats(?)
its basically the number of passengers they can hold
are you serious that Delta oversells some of their flts out of PHL. I wish that in the near future Delta will upgrade at least one flt to a 763. As for US's flts to ATL, i thought i remember reading something that a US 757 couldn't fit at the gates that US has at ATL and maybe not even a 320. When y...
Jump to postwhat airline flew from PHL and where, i am assuming Mexicana to MEX a while back
Jump to postI know many rumors have gone around that Delta was going to phase out the 732's from the Express routes and send them to mainline, as the 757's are taken from the mainline and put on Express routes, but i never really read anything that someone was 100% sure. Well on Justplanes.com it says Delta is ...
Jump to postwell US Airways added a flt to ATL and ORD from PHL, as part of their plan to increase service to big business destinations. I'm sure UA and AA kill US airways on the PHL-ORD route and Delta probably does a good job beating US on the PHL-ATL route
Jump to postThe new Light rail cars are not electrified, i know its hard to imagine a diesel light rail car. I live near the rail line and there are no catanary wires and i read when this project was first started that NJ Transit did not want to use electric light rail cars. I would have rather seen electric ca...
Jump to postwhen i was on an ATL-PHL flt about a month ago, there was probably 5 empty seats
Jump to postalso you can't go critizing Amtrak for the Acela's. These types of problems probably arise everytime a brand new train is built. I'm sure over in Europe their were a few problems with the TGV and the Eurostar when they first were built.
Jump to postanyone have pictures of this type of jetway in use?
Jump to postI flew Delta about a month ago PHL-ATL and back, and i had no problems. The service was fine the F/A's were helpful and smiling. I would def. fly them again
Jump to posti just realized that Sunworld hasn't served PHL in a while, whats going on? Has the airline totally shut down scheduled services or are they still flying to other cities besides PHL?
Jump to posti think we will see Frontier in PHL within a year
as for AA flying from PHL-DEN, they do not, but they said that if the UA/US merger went through that they would, since UA would have a monopoly on the route.
man i'd like to see the 3rd SJU-PHL flt reinstated, and possibly a 4th MIA-PHL flt.
Jump to postthere's a little treat in some of the pictures as well. if you look hard enough in the background of a few pictures, you will see an old Delta L-1011, that the FAA uses to preform some tests on. I still am trying to get over to ACY, to get a picture of the Delta L-1011 and the United 747SP that are ...
Jump to postIt is Atlantic City International Airport, it is a very small commercial airport down by the Jersey Shore, close to AC. However it is home to a large FAA testing facility and an Air National Guard Fighter Wing. It baffles me as to why they choose this airport to deliver the cars, the airport is a go...
Jump to postfor the Continental Express CLE-PHL flts they also operate with the Britt Airways/Continental Express sign, yet the flts are all ERJ's and i though someone mentioned that all Britt Airways flys are Beech 1900's?
Jump to posti dont know, although EWR is FedEx's main east coast hub, that may change when FedEx opens their GSO Hub, in which they have already stated that they plan to fly many A380's into the airport
Jump to posti didn't know Comair was getting the CRJ-700, i though only ASA was
Jump to postwow, you're right. i just looked it up and saw there are no flts from JFK-ORD, thats probably because there are 20 daily flts between LGA-ORD.
Jump to postfirst, are 757's allowed at DCA yet? I thought one of the reason's National backed out of its slots was because they were waiting so long for 757's to be allowed back at the airport. Second, UA is not the only carrier going after these slots, i believe America West is as well for a flt to Las Vegas....
Jump to postthanks for all the info.
i am really surprised UA at PHL has 29 flts (including 4 UAX flts to iad) to 5 destinations and MIA has only 20 flts to 12 destinations
UA has to have more than like 20 flts at MIA, they have about 25 at PHL and thats just to UA hubs. Aren't they building a Star terminal at MIA, where UA wants to increase its operation in about 5 yrs? Also doesn't Varig and Mexican operate small hubs from MIA with about 5 or so flts each?
Jump to postyes, i agree ALB-FLL would be much more likely than ALB-MCO. JetBlue would probably get beat at ORD, or at least on the JFK-ORD, and maybe the LGB-ORD routes, with many AA flts between JFK-ORD and LAX-ORD as well as many UA flts between LAX-ORD, i dont think ORD would fit in real well with them. i'm...
Jump to postMIA is also a big star alliance airport as well. just because UA doesn't have a hub there doesn't mean its not a big star airport, UA does have a large operation at MIA as well as many South American and Latin American flts. you have a larger variety of star airlines at MIA rather than DEN, however ...
Jump to postPHL...thats great. hopefully we will eventually get the 739 here
Jump to posta little O/T
When is the DOT going to make a decision on the UA/US alliance? Isn't it coming up?
one of the reasons the terminal was built was probably to increase caribbean flts since those flts need to go through customs as well. As for US airways joining STAR, if they do i think PHL will see the most new airlines/flts come in with CLT only getting a few.
Jump to posti thought jetblue was going to announce new cities sometime beginning next year, in 6 or 7 months?
Jump to postcome Nov 2, usairways will have 59 mainline flts(30 of which are shuttle), 15 turbo prop, and 25 regional jets equaling 99 daily flts
Jump to postalso i noticed on one of the forums someone mentioned a storage yard out in the desert where most of the USPS planes went and some Delta Express planes, but i also saw a Delta 764 listed as one of the planes stored. I thought that was a little strange.
Jump to postUS Airways did have a good size operation at BOS, but recently it has downsized it significantly so i would assume US Airways is #3 on the list. i am not sure about Delta and AA.
Jump to posta little O/T
my dad is a high status FF for AA, and we used to receive the AA timetable every couple of months, however we haven't received one for 4 months or so, does anyone know if AA is still sending out timetables to their FF members?
well ya know its not like it isnt public knowledge where all the ATA L1011's and World MD-11's fly to from BWI and ATL. And i also know where we will most likely be sending our troops, i wanted to know what cities, other than ATL and BWI, will the planes fly out of in the US to where ever they are g...
