Re: WN Intl LFs for Oct 2017 to Sep 2018

Anyone think the reason for low LF has to do with WN not being on the online booking systems ?

Re: Power outage in ATL

At the risk of igniting a DL vs AA flame war, which I don't want to do: I think events like this drive home how important it is that DL and AA should have a full interline agreement. If this agreement were in place, then someone booked, say, RIC-ATL-PHX could be re routed on AA RIC-CLT-PHX, if AA h...

Re: Status of DL's SEA hub after the end of the AS agreement?

RE: AA To Put Livery To Employee Vote

Use the old AA and put the new eagle in between.

RE: AA To Put Livery To Employee Vote

I've always felt the classic livery was too iconic to change. I really don't like the new livery. I miss seeing the double A with the eagle on the Tail and the Wing tips. I say lets go back to the classic and save some money.

RE: Official: New AA Livery - Jan/18 - Part 4

I was chatting with a AA pilot today, said the eagle looked more like a Toucon ! I asked what the majority of his co workers thought, they where ok with the logo, not with the tail design . It's just doesn't match.

RE: Official: New AA Livery - Jan/17 - Part 3

The tail design looks like a rough sketch . I can't stress the word ROUGH enough .

RE: Official: New AA Livery - Jan/17 - Part 3

What are the chances they dump this sorry excuse for a livery? As much as I try , I can get past how ugly the tail is. SAVE the scissor eagle!
