Re: DL to permanently retire entire 777 fleet

Re: American Airlines orders 47 additional 787's (22 788's and 25 789's), cancels A350 order

If the A333 are not leaving until at least 2021, it's bazaar that they didn't update the cabin to offer premium economy when they upgraded the A332 fleet. However, it does fall into American's reputation of not offering a consistent product domestic or international since the merger. I have mixed fe...

Due to a lack of available gates at CLT, American should increase the available seats it provides on many routes, especially to CLT's largest markets until more gates become available. More A321's, 757's, less A319's and 737's. There are a lot of major routes still using regional jets that should be...
