Having just finished a trip IAD-CDG-AUH, then DXB-AMS-IAD, as well as having connected at FRA and LHR many times I vote for AMS!
Jump to postA few weeks ago ROA submitted for a grant to get AA service to DFW. We shall see. A western hub other than ORD would be great here in ROA!

I don't have an answer but was wondering the same thing. The deal with PeoplExpress was a nightmare.

Jump to postI visited Victorville last November after some business meetings in San Bernardino. There you can drive around the perimeter road and see some decent stuff, some obviously closer than others. I went next to I believe a Pepsi or some bottling plant and at the end of that road I got close to a cluster...
Jump to postI see through FlightAware that the U.S. women's World Cup team has been flying on a Flair Air 737-400. How are the other teams moving around the vast nation? I assume the others are flying commercially? Thanks for any help.
Jump to postI was on a recent PHF-EWR return and both flights were about two-thirds full.
Jump to postThe cover photo on their FB page has changed to include a better photo of the first aircraft.

Jump to postAtlas has 777Fs in its inventory through its Titan leasing subsidiary. Would be interesting to see if Atlas itself adopts 777Fs in its operated fleet.

Jump to postI was told by staff at ROA (where noticed a Sun Country aircraft in lieu of usual Allegiant) and they said pilots timing out was one factor.

Jump to postAtlas Air has multiple charters from both various cities in Alabama and Tallahassee for the BCS game. 747s and 767s.

Jump to postMy wife is an FA on behalf of Atlas Air and flew this mission yesterday. Certainly different than the usual military charters in high-density 767s and 747s.
N801DM, I hope the service was outstanding!
On a related note, Atlas Air, using a VIP-configured SonAir aircraft, will be taking the team on its Asia/Australia tour.

Jump to postSounds like Atlas Air..? Did it have a globe on the tail?
Jump to postAtlas Air the weakest of the supplemental carriers? Huh? Remember, the bulk of Atlas's business is cargo, plus some of the pax flying is scheduled for SonAir. And some CMI flying for Boeing and DHL. This is a diverse company with a huge fleet. Not going anywhere!
Jump to postThanks for the memories! I was 3 and living in Toronto at the time the photo was taken.
Jump to postMy wife, a flight attendant for Atlas Air, which does numerous military charters every month, says they are required to wake up troops to feed them, per DOD. So hopefully the meals are worth it!
Jump to postAtlas Air is another carrier doing a ton of military flights. My wife is a flight attendant with them. I wouldn't want to say more than that.
Jump to postGood discussion, all. For me it comes down to this -- there is no need in a civilized society for these assault rifles. Zero.
Jump to postAtlas Air is a big mover of troops to FRU. <acronym title="United Airlines (USA)">UA</acronym> and <acronym title="Delta Air Lines (USA)">DL</acronym> probably supplement that lift from time to time. Here's the latest Atlas flight heading to FRU: <a href="http://flightaware.com/live/flight/GTI2456" ...
Jump to postInteresting discussion, all.
I've always said the religious right (the American Taliban) has hijacked the GOP. We're seeing the effects of that now.
Fortunately for the rest of us, the religious right has been marginalized. Perhaps that was the best outcome of the election.
Atlas Air runs a number of these almost daily using passenger 767-300s and 747-400s.
Jump to postJust to clarify, Atlas no longer operates -200Fs. Just -400s and -8Fs.
Jump to postDon't forget that QF probably hauls decent cargo on that leg.
Jump to postThese flights are operated by Atlas Air for Sonair. They only have just less than 200 seats -- mostly premium. The public cannot buy tickets for this flight. Atlas won the contract more than two years ago, I believe. A regular, scheduled carrier probably wouldn't touch it, even despite revenue guara...

Jump to postNot so fast on the sarcasm about Roanoke. It's actually a delight of an area to live in. Blue Ridge Mountains, Appalachian Trail, great downtown.
