Jump to postSo, now that things are quieter here in DFW and DL has been flying a decent amount of A220s in, I have noticed some odd noises when planes are landing. I live between 17C and 17R about 5-6 miles north of DFW. It's an odd, loud, somewhat high pitched noise as the plane passes over the house. When I l...
Jump to postHere’s a nice update on AA’s deliveries this year: https://simpleflying.com/american-airlines-new-plane-cost/ Good article about the fact of the deliveries but bad analysis.

Jump to postSince (generally speaking and under normal operations) the choice to depart on the east side vs west side is based on the destination (east side for departures going eastbound and west side for west bound departures) -- wouldn't the fact that most of DFW's destinations are eastbound be the reason t...

Jump to postQuestion regarding the new AA/AS partnership... will AA still move out of Terminal 2 into the new Terminal 1 gates?

Jump to postOn the Tell Me Why podcast, Vasu said that BLR is the #1 destination that they see for AA travelers. Also, the only city in the US that the 789 can fly without decent payload restrictions is SEA. So, this works for them.

N955NN is also in TUL for thi...

Jump to postLooking at 8LP, 789, from my flight, and I see a red line on the front landing gear. I thought the red line meant off warranty. It's that still the case?

Looking at a map, Santa Lucia is very far away from the city center (looks like almost an hour). That is going to be a pain. Depending on time of day, I've gone from the Zona Rosa area to MEX in 15 minutes.
Jump to postIt never made sense to get rid of the A333. Dougie has always talked about not having small fleet types. But, you only have 15 A332s, so what's another 9 A333s. They can't be that much different to maintain, are they?
