Is this post satire? It depends. Are half a million dead people and the millions more to come satire to you? This thread is great in that if considered a sample of the global population, surprisingly many people seem to share Brazil's Bolsonaro's point of view, proving that humanity is not ready (y...
Jump to postIs this post satire?
Jump to postIt would be an awful decision. The uptick in cargo demand is only temporary. Once the emergency portion of the pandemic comes to an end, and we have to deal with the effects, cargo too will have significantly less demand than normal.
Jump to postLooks like once daily to all 3 destinations. Service starts June 4th (except SMX-SFO which starts June 5th).
Jump to postThere isn't an issue with 757/767 (or larger) getting into SBA.
Jump to postAnyone have any intel for the reason for this diversion?

ExpressJet did also fly SBA-SMF/SAN in the not so distant past.
Jump to postIt's already for sale on Contour's website....SBA-SMF daily starting in April
Jump to postSurprised AA/UA don't use the same ground handlers.
Jump to postAA going double daily on SBA/DFW with CR9 instead of 1x with mainline, it looks like (at least in the middle of next summer).
Jump to postThe "update" is also super old news. Look at the dateline.
Jump to postUnrelated to this conversation, but local news guy on the radio here in SB said third destination announcement is upcoming and mentioned "Utah." Sounding like the returning of Delta is around the corner? SBA-SLC is about 615 miles. I wonder if that fulls under the distance limit that DL i...
Jump to postLooks like they plan on OAK-SBA-LAS-SBA-OAK for the aircraft.
Jump to postLooks like its loaded. OAK daily and LAS 5x weekly.
I see fares as low as $79 for OAK, and $59 for LAS.
So, I assume Oakland is a given. Without adding another destination, would this mean PHX is the other destination?
Jump to postWhat's all that muck on the ramp? And why has that aeroplane on the taxiway got no wings? That's rust from ground equipment but most has been power washed off since then. That satellite picture is at least a couple years old. Rust? That says a lot.. and what about the plane with no wings? Even thou...
Jump to postI'm going LAS and one of either SMF/SAN/SJC. All four cities used to be served nonstop.
Jump to postShould have happened ages ago. Star Alliance Gold is incredibly common. They should appropriately recognize top-level customers (for example >100,000 miles annually). But then each member airline segments it further, with UA and its Global Services, LH with its HONS Senator, etc. Trouble is when yo...
Jump to postInteresting the CR9 comes back for a couple weeks end of Aug/start of Sept, but then scheduled back to mainline.
Jump to postThis has been back to mainline for a week or so now. Flights are looking fairly full into the next couple months.
Jump to postI have it on good authority that it indeed was a tech company, and a quite a large one, at that.
Jump to postgotta be some tech company meeting or retreat. More than likely. N649DL is configured as a charter aircraft so this must be being used by a 'smaller' tech company that doesn't have its own fleet. Surely, if it was a Google or Amazon event they'd be using one of their own aircraft. Yeah, but it's tw...
Jump to postLooks like there are couple Delta 757's scheduled into SBA later as charters en route from SJC. Pretty rare customers to SBA! https://flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL8879/history/20180307/0010Z/KSJC/KSBA https://flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL8878/history/20180307/0010Z/KSJC/KSBA There were also a co...
Jump to postLots of UA adds in DEN is probably why the decrease in SFO-DEN frequency. DEN-SBP is a fairly new route and is already going 2x daily. DEN-SBA has never gone 4x daily or even 3x daily on a regular basis. The cut to SFO-CTU is continued bad news for secondary China cities for UA Here's to hoping the...
Jump to postUnited generally has 3 mainline passenger flights per day (2x SFO, 1x DEN all in the morning). I noticed this morning that all three of these flights were operated by aircraft flown in from LAX in the middle of the night, and that the aircraft that would normally operate these morning flights (the 2...
Jump to postMy DL flight, DL167 NRT-SIN on Nov 6 was cancelled. Does that not count on the 42 day streak, or did I misread it? According to the footnote in the Delta public relations piece, the "streak" includes the entire year: [2] Based on Delta internal flight operations reporting for Jan. 1 to No...
Jump to postI am a little surprised that the SBA-SFO loads are dismal. When it was initially upgraded, it was just one mainline with everything else still being RJs. But recently, there have been two A319s on the route. Why were they double the mainline with dismal numbers? The loads were dismal when they had ...
Jump to postI think I'd be happier if OO brought back the E120 and we could get back our 24x a day to to SFO/LAX.

Jump to postWhich is a recipe for success. Despite the small catchment area, AA was routinely able to get this flight with very strong loads, and more importantly, strong yields. What makes you think the yields are "strong". Per DOT reports, the median economy fare derived on route is more than LAX, ...
Jump to postSBA-DFW in August was at about 75% LF, per the T100s. UA has now pulled mainline off of SBA-SFO and SBA-DEN in Q1 2018. SFO loads were dismal. Great airport that faces all too many challenges from LAX and BUR. Before AA retimed the flight, SBA-DFW was running at 85-88% LF. There was dip in August a...
Jump to postIt's going back to a CRJ-900 for the winter schedule, but I believe the A319 is back in the spring. SBA handled 727s and 737s in the past, so I'm sure it could take other types of mainline aircraft. United had mainline on some of its DEN and SFO frequencies this summer as well. SBA is a great littl...
Jump to postIt is scheduled to go to CR9 again for several weeks in Jan/Feb, then back to 319. The loads do seem strong, so the downgrade seems interesting.
Jump to postBack when Skywest has what seemed like 30 flights a day between LAX-SAN, I remember being the only passenger or one of 2-3 a handful of times.
Jump to postLooks like SBA-DFW is going back down to CR9. They are also cutting the PHX frequency which leaves pretty close to that flight, and I thought that was to help fill the A319 but now it looks like they're downgauging it and I believe I saw the 319 published past January. Where do you see DFW going to...
Jump to postLooks like the increase to 3 flights (from 2) for DEN-SBA comes at the expense of mainline service on the route.
Jump to postBack to CR9 in Jan/Feb. Still says 319 afterwards, though.
And SNA does just fine with larger a/c with a shorter runway.
We need to go back to the good ole' days and have Skywest purchase some new EMB-120's. I miss LAX-SNA/ONT, SBA-SJC, PSP-LAS, etc. I don't think that is wage-maximizing for pilots, nor a great use of congested air space or airport facilities. It's not 1965 any more. Why have anything but A380's in a...

Jump to postIf AA is going to start flying E175s from DFW to California, there are larger markets than SBP or SBA that are still unserved, like BUR and OAK SBA isn't "unserved". It gets a daily A319. Regardless, wouldn’t be Oakland be aore important nonstop market than San Luis Obispo? Not really sur...
