Some of the tarmac delays on arrival today at EWR are wild - 1518 from PUJ on at 8:06pm, estimated in at 11pm...351 from AGP on 12:44pm and in 3:57pm. Even HND waited over an hour for a gate. JFK last night was a mess too (I was on SK from CPH and waited close to an hour and a half for a gate at 10p...
Jump to postSouth Florida—PBI in particular—is on a FAA constrained volume program. Is this the remnant of Elliott? I know South FL gets jammed packed at this time of year, but I’ve been flying down at this time of year for forever and they’ve never had to mandate that. Every BOS-PBI flight right now seems to ...
Jump to post. And why would AA stop flying to London? Probably the most profitable (in normal times) international station, up there with GRU & EZE. AA will never give up London flying. The US union is doing what it is supposed to do: protect US jobs. If AA were to open a London base, it would have to staf...
Jump to postThe union will not allow it. They already had to accept legacy bases (from the Braniff days) at BOG, EZE, LIM & SCL but they are fenced in: they can only operate flights to one US port of entry, Miami, and are not allowed to fly domestic sectors. I don’t get why the union won’t allow it, isn’t ...
Jump to postIndigo Partners…twice. First with Spirit then Frontier. Although “distressed” might be a little extreme, neither were in a good place when Indigo Partners stepped in.

Jump to postYou are mis quoting me. I said 'Is hiring the same management team a smart move'. Define "management" - do you mean the executive leadership team, the operational leaders, etc? Either way, it's hard to infer that the team was inept or not worthy of keeping when you're dealing with a globa...

Jump to postI don’t know if AA does this, but several airlines do “stand-ups” for the early am departures. Delta mainline, for instance, had a PVD where the inbound F/As arrived from DTW around midnight and crewed a ~5:30am departure back to DTW. Flight attendants were on duty the entire night. The regionals do...
Jump to postNote quite a dozen others, but yes the big banks (JPM, Citi, Barclays, Morgan Stanley, BofA, Goldman, HSBC) all have comparable volumes.
