Many airlines are going to device streaming since we all bring either phones and/or pads and/or laptops on trips. It saves weight plus the folks can plug into power ports so I don't agree AA was just slapped in the face. Agree. In five years UA will still be adding in these screens and they’ll alre...

ORD is great for international travel except for the people mover and the total lack of management/leadership with the customs employees. How is ORD good for international travel? Isn’t it the only major hub airport where you can’t (for the most part) go international > domestic airside? That’s a j...
Jump to postWhat exactly have they done to deservebonus? They are bleeding ions every day and they have the worst domestic onboard offering of any US airline right now. Even Spirit will serve you a soda. Calling the payout a bonus is misleading. The typical merit position at DL has an "at risk" compo...

Jump to postThe U.S. market is too large domestically to add immigration checks. Also, with the notion that a lot of the population doesn't have a passport it would be hard to enforce, especially since in some states everyone can get a drivers license without any sort of information verification.
Jump to postI remember when United was bringing in the DC10 to COS daily. Gone are those good-ole days. Just for S&G's, because the T-100 doesn't go back far enough to find the DC-10, here was the July 15 flights to/from COS in 2004 AA: 6x DFW (M83/ M80/ M80/ M80/ M80/ M80) 1x STL (ERD) CO: 5x IAH (ERJ/ ERJ...

It wouldn't surprise me if there is already an A220 crew base up here in SEA, since a lot of the segments have A220's on it like SFO, DEN, ORD and more recently, BNA. I wonder if we'll see more of the ...
Jump to postSo airlines have figured out how to dodge paying tariffs and the gov't is supposed to bail them out using tax payers' money. Alrighty then... Agreed.

Jump to postThis sounds exactly like when cityline was flying the A340's.
Jump to postThe problem with those charts is that it's far too broad and differs. For instance maybe Frontier puts nearly 180 pax on their A320's and at what weight vs a 160 seat A320 etc. What type of paint and how much does it weight etc? So what is on wikipedia won't give you an accurate number by any means ...

Jump to postAlso ICN-MNL is only 3.5 hours flying time so if they can make it a turn with a single crew (instead of laying over in MNL) it'd reduce their costs. This may be true for the cabin crew but I believe the DL pilot contract requires an overnight after a non-north American international flight. DL AMS-...
