I still see it in the schedule from October 1 onwards. Is it just a temporary suspension?
American Pro’s: Best international partners by far. Qatar, Cathay, JAL all super premium airlines with best in class service. By far?

Jump to postI'll be glad when this is over. Some friends had to drive back to BUF from a conference in MGM this evening because all the flights were sold out or $1200/person one month in advance.
Jump to posthttps://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/delta-sun-country-fare-war-minneapolis-st-paul-international-airport/ CBS is reporting that Delta has slashed many fares from MSP to match the Sun Country rates, but only on their basic economy tickets. Interesting move by Delta! Matching SY on the most basic ...
Jump to postPartner with whoever designs uniforms for Air France, KLM and / or Virgin. Their uniforms look sharp and stylish.

Many posts on here have stated that AA employees (flight attendants, gate agents, etc.) are the worst in the industry. I don't fly enough to be able to compare them to other airlines, but whenever I've flown AA, my experience has always been positive. It should also be considered that many of these...

SWF-RSW but still no SWF-TPA, interesting. Is it? Fort Myers/Naples feels like a lot more NYC metro transplants than Tampa. Not really ...

Jump to postI see lots of posts that seem to ignore the very clear mention of them wanting to fly to South America as they can currently only reach Aruba. DFW would give them that capability as someone mentioned a new terminal opening up down the road (which would align with SY mentioning this new hub opening ...
Jump to postYou're missing the point. They could match the fares - but why go to great lengths to do so - especially when the cost per connecting passenger for the hub operation is so damn attractive to the bottom line and you're pulling in great revenues from the rest of the network. Because AA has learned fr...

Jump to postMy nominee is GSO which has little ULCC presence (one G4 flight to PIE) and generally terrible air service for a city of its size. SY could really make a difference there.

I'm not seeing DFW; I think it has to be an airport where there has not been significant ULCC penetration. DFW has lots of F9 and NK flights.

Jump to postThat doesn’t sound like nothing, and what will it be this year? And the next and the next? Why would they give up on it when it’s growing?

Jump to postThe retreat from South America leaves a strange patchwork of services. No more LIM or UIO, but still serving GYE from both JFK and FLL. No more BOG, but keeping FLL-MDE and JFK-CTG.

Jump to postSEA-TPE will actually have more frequency and waaay more capacity than significant domestic routes like SEA-PHL or SEA-MIA this fall. That is wild to me.

Jump to postThis whole saga is a microcosm of the Robin Hayes era at B6 - very distracted. They have basically spent the last 4 years and countless amounts of money and energy on mergers and partnerships and to end up with nothing to show for it. I hope the new CEO does better.

I’m sure this order was negotiated well in advance, but it’s frustrating to see a huge purchase for the MAX 10 given all the issues with the MAX/Boeing right now. Also, in regards to increasing FC on the A319s and A320s. The A319 I can understand (elites rejoice!), but c’mon the A320?! Those things...
Jump to postThey just have to get bigger planes but they will stick around as the pilots are needed. Luckily for them, AA's scope considers 50 and 65 seat aircraft the same category so they just have to do a 1 for 1 replacement.

Jump to postThen move on without AA. The new additions to A are nice and are actually good, bright, clean and nice facilities.
