Re: AA botches launch of JFK-GEO

As if AA needs any more trouble on a VFR route from JFK that will soon see B6 competition... I don't see the route lasting long once B6 enters. B6 has a plane with a realistic seat count and proper plane that it will use (A21N with 1 ACT, good for about 3200-3300 nmi). B6 also has a better product ...

Re: AA Strands Dallas Cowboys

Where are you getting 2 hours? The article says the game ended just after 7 and they didn't even board until 11pm, so the delay was closer to 4-hours. They had to sit at the stadium they'd just lost at for 3-hours alone. Teams don't go right from the field at the final gun to the airport. They have...

Re: AA sues DL over the use of the term “Flagship”

Perhaps Delta has sufficient evidence that American does not use Flagship as effective as trademarking may demand. For example, their lounges are ADMIRAL and aircraft LUXURY LINERS, if still called that. Flagship cannot be found with a glance to their front facing website even. Except for FLAGSHIP ...

Re: Alaska meltdown at SEA

No they do not. The article and occurrence you are referring to happened in 2005. We are in the year 2019, not 2005. AS does not currently outsource any ground handling operations at SEA. All ground handling is done by their own subsidiary, McGee Air Services, which also is the exclusive ground han...

Re: AA sues DL over the use of the term “Flagship”

The lawsuit may well be about more than the A350 usage. AA may think it also applies to their more universal and widespread use of the term 'Flagship' in their descriptions of AA lounges, premium services, and interiors. The problem with artificially inflating the perceived scope of infringement is...

Re: AA sues DL over the use of the term “Flagship”

AA has no claim imho Weak. Can probably hold your breath in the time it'll take for this to get tossed. Their lawsuit is silly and is a waste of time and resources. The term "flagship" is ridiculous and is an old maritime term that serves no real purpose in the 21st century. Where did you...

Re: Southwest Fleet/Network Thread - 2019

I'm seeing a lot of 737MAX8 flights on this schedule extension. They're going to be in a world of hurt if it's not flying by the summer. That's exactly what I'm thinking. Don't add any MAX stuff until it's released back Into service. Flyguy Except if you schedule with what you’re supposed to have, ...

Re: Delta changes rules on FA uniforms

DL flight attendants, to the tune of over 1,000, are literally sweating out purple. The beds of fingernails have turned purple. The purpose of the union is to protect the workers. Skywest flight attendants are not switching over to the Barney uniforms due to the multitude of health issues and their ...

Re: WN Selects DEN Over BNA/HOU (for What???)

Herb retired when he did because he knew what he was building couldn’t be sustained cost-wise and he wasn’t going to be the bad guy and say that those never-ending raises were going to have to end. When people bring up Herb, it’s because they want to keep the continuous raises flowing... he left whe...

The cancel down in for WN in January is reductions due to the MAX situation. They’re cancelling in to February now.

Re: Thomas Cook Airlines News and Discussion Thread

List of airlines drafted in to operate the rescue flights are LL,U2,VS,BA,5Y,MH,ZT ,5M,YU ,2D . CAA booking passengers on some BA sched flights. May see some aircraft swaps to increase capacity. LL is Allegro from Mexico. They ceased operations in 2004. Are you sure you have them right? I guess 5Y ...

Re: WN2574 diverts to MGE (Dobbins ARB, GA)

They landed. Passengers disembarked. Passengers bussed the 25 mins to ATL. If you look at a tracking website, you’ll see it circled ATL half a dozen times. Divert to a further airport, wait, and potentially cancel or divert close by that is easily with a quick drive. Hmmmmm...

Re: MINT and other Service Cuts to JetBlue, starting 9/1

WN is moving terminals at BOS and going from 5 gates to 7... Sounds like Blue is getting ready for their merger with Southwest....The only thing they need to do now is dump the carts and bring back tray service... I know you were probably joking. But I was wondering if WN's recent moves of cutting E...
