Parker is a great airline CEO , he’s just at the wrong airline. He belongs at a LCC.
Jump to postI certainly wouldn't classify anything Delta does as "desperation", but they clearly see the rejuvenated AA/AS relationship as a threat to the SEA franchise, especially given what will likely be medium-term fallout in the Pacific from COVID. After all, SEA's purpose in the DL network is t...
Jump to postDL should have stated BLR instead if they wanted to make a statement.
Jump to postAnyone think the reason for low LF has to do with WN not being on the online booking systems ?
Jump to postThere’s something going on in ELP, hotels being built left and right . Hope Alaska is successful .

It would be interesting to see how big CLT gets in the coming years in comparison to DFW .

Also reports of deplaning using emergency slides.
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...
Jump to postIt's probably a good thing for DL , it will force SEA AS flyers to switch to a broader farther reaching network especially those that travel international, unless AS gets busy getting in bed with International carriers .
Jump to postThose things are still flying ? I still remember the commercials from the 80's
Jump to postAnyone that puts people's lives at risk do not deserve respect . AA needs to get rid of this clown ! I refuse to pay F fares at these service levels.
Jump to postWas just driving down I-10 , if I'm not mistaken I saw a 787 in AA colors flying over . Anyone know what's going on ?

Jump to postI'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.

Jump to postAA will be fine stand alone , don't understand the obsession of being the largest . Every carrier has strengths and weaknesses regardless of size. one airline can't serve everyone .

Jump to postI 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.
Jump to postThe tail design looks like a rough sketch . I can't stress the word ROUGH enough .
Jump to postWhat 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!
Jump to postIs this new livery supposed to repel a US takeover? It's absolutely atrocious ! AA employees should be up in arms.

Jump to post717 is by far the best aircraft EVER! Nothing beats 2x3 sitting, wider seats and aisle compared to 737. Up front a insanely quite ride. 767 for long huals with 2x3x2 is the best.
