Re: Sources: United ordering 50 A321 XLR

So PIT not being a mainline DL station... is this just urban legend or truth? I find it hard to believe considering we previously had daily B763s to CDG, all the 739s to ATL, handling numerous DL diversions, etc. All Delta staff above wing at PIT is mainline while everyone below wing is DGS.

Is PIT-SLC going twice daily at all? I thought they were going to make that 2x daily unless it's just a seasonal add. Of course, I could also be mistaken. Also, the PG was reporting that WN is cancelling more flights due to the continued MAX grounding. I'm starting to wonder if WN will consider pur...

I wonder why DCA has about the lowest loads of any destination. AA has no competition on this route. The data on PIT-DCA is skewed because AA has been operating a mainline E190 on the route since May and loads on that particular flight have been very poor. Here's August for example: PIT-DCA AA 46% ...

Can it be done? Yes. Has it been done before? Yes, with notable examples being the original 777 at CX, and re-engined DC8s. Is it cost-prohibitive to be done commonly? Usually. This.

Delta appears to be axing their seasonal PIT-MCO flight. No longer showing up in March and June-August when the flight typically operates. It was slated to be on a Sat-only Endeavor Air CRJ9.
