Yes it can, in fact at one point AA loaded a 7M8 on the route. I forget if it operated. It is absolutely 100% AA’s fault. They were foolish and stupid in the far too quick retirement of the 757, 763 and A330 fleets. It was done abruptly and with no foresight whatsoever. The lack of a mid-size plane...
Jump to postMost of the flights to secondary markets in South Am were night flights. And required pilots to have a break. That means they would have to be done on a widebody right now as they have no narrow body ac that meets the requirement of a lie flat seat for pilot rest. They gave that flexibility when the...
Jump to postI suspect the 787 will most likely be flying out of JFK next year. Senior JFK flight attendants are being trained en masse on it it this year. The JFK pursers were all qualified on it by this past March, whether they wanted to be or not. Everyone systemwide is getting trained on all aircraft. It’s ...

These employees are Envoy security. They do the security checks for our airplanes over there. For the most part they are divided in teams and bid for destinations. It is the same thing for every destination we serve in Cuba. Except with so many flights to Havana there are actually 2 or 3 groups that...

Jump to postI flew 77W Polaris last summer with the family MIA-LAX and it was a really good hard product. I am tall and wide and I don’t have an issue being comfortable on AA.

Please tell us more my friend. I have not heard any words on B789 getting new configuration yet. Would love to know more. Any words from ...
Jump to postI don't have a tangible source but at CLT I've heard that the maintenance personnel maybe getting ready for the 787. It's possible in 2023 that it might be coming to CLT which makes sense with the 788 being the smallest widebody in the AA fleet. I’ll check with my son’s mom she’s in maintenance Tha...
Jump to postThe new service's flight number is very fitting to an Ian Flemming International Airport: 4 007 . AA has an impressive Caribbean portfolio, not just from MIA but from CLT as well. It looks like the only airports left in the Caribbean that have runways that could accommodate an E175 or similar sized...
Jump to postAA will be back in Brasilia, Manus and Belo Horizonte, that stuff absolutely works. Recife works too. It really doesn't, but if these routes return, it will only happen on the back of a significant recovery in Brazil's economy. There is no disagreement there. Manaus and Brasilia will probably be ba...
Jump to postI was lucky to have been on Eastern’s inaugural 757 Flight. ATL-TPA. What an experience. And it started my love affair with the best airplane EvER. That huge wing sitting on the airplane. The feeling of power as you went down that runway. Those St. Thomas (back when the runway hadn’t been fully exte...

Jump to postAt AA JFK back in the late ‘80s we used to deplane and board our DC10’s from the right side sometimes. That was such a weird thing. And I want to say it was gate 5 or 6, but not sure about this. Oh. And we would use both the 1R and 2R doors.

The Super 80’s simulators for pilots that are at the flight academy are to be gone by this month. Judging by that I think it’s safe to assume that sep is looking mighty firm as a retirement date for the rest of the MD’s.... The end is near for this airplane at AA!
Jump to postLooks like AA subbed a 757 N200UU on AA636 PHX-TUS-PHX today, that should be a sporty take-off. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/AAL636/history/20190314/1718Z/KPHX/KTUS These are the Atlas Air baseball charters to Japan. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/GTI8236/history/20190314/1900Z/KPHX/RJT...
