There is a discussion over in the Dallas/Fort Worth Aviation Thread regarding DL possibly gaining access to one of the gates at DAL that AS currently uses, and that discussion can be found at https://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1468647&start=50#p23352389. DL adding DAL-SLC n...
Jump to postIt's all about the SLC altitude and heat. SEA can make it being close to sea level. Yeah the FAA weight change makes sense, I can’t remember when that happened exactly but I think this is probably the first normal(-ish) summer season we’ve had with the new weights. Still, it surprises me to see 339...

I recently flew on Delta’s N326US. Any way to tell how many hours/cycles this plane has? I know this was one of the 10 ships that was retired, then brought back from retirement. Interior was spotless and still seemed fairly new.
Jump to postDon't think it's going out of service. Avianca's MRO at MDE has recently been performing mx for DL's 763s In fact, N183DN just left today and was down there for about a month, guessing it was a c-check before RTS. 171 is likely receiving a c-check as well Correct.

Jump to postI wonder how the new flights from AUS are performing? Are there any rumors of additional destinations being added from AUS?

Jump to postI don't know about the 787 but I heard they had a 777 stuck in BOG at the same time or roughly the same time that was cancelled. I believe it was a hydraulic leak.
Jump to postTicketing area looks cramped. We'll have to see if it's any improvement over the current T2 setup. I'm also curious to see the gate areas. While nicely renovated, T2 is a way too small. When you're loading an A350 the gate areas are a mosh pit of people. I looked at their press page and I don't see...
Jump to postThose seats look absolutely miserable for a longer flight. Why is there such a move away from actual padding? They look to be the same padding as the seats in the A220 and those are perfectly comfortable for a longer flight. They have memory foam padding that conforms to your shape. Can't wait to f...
Jump to postThe new interior looks great with the dark gray and blue seats with the diamond stitching and red accents. Plus the mood lighting. The coach seats are similar to the A321ceo's seats and not the hard plasticky seats AA put in their A321s. (Same seat as used in the Oasis 737 and the new Southwest 737-...

Jump to postI hope you do realize that it is customary for most network carriers to charge a premium for non-stops? Moreover, in general, AA is not pricing connecting flights between city pairs any lower than through other hubs. If DL were the one that launched all these routes, I am sure you would justifying ...
Jump to postYes there are some point to point flights that AA is flying but if travel plans require a connection in DFW/CLT/PHX/ORD or ATL/DTW/MSP/SLC to get where you're going, many would pick the airline with the nicer planes, better operational and on-time performance and better customer service scores.

Jump to postOne only needs to check fares from DFW to any market that AA also connects with AUS to see that it’s a bloodbath there and ridiculously low yield.

Would the A321NEOs have their cabins outfitted yet? I'm really wanting to see the new F class seats and see if they went with the very large shelf bins (like AA did) or if they maintained the pivot bins like the A321CEO.
Jump to postI was on a Delta flight some years ago from EWR-SLC. A woman demanded all nuts be removed from the flight before departure. As we were on a 757 and they were ready to shut the door, the Captain became involved to let the woman know that although they won't serve any nuts on the flight, there wasn't ...
Jump to postThoughts on why MCO-SLC makes no sense? How doesn't it make sense? This is *exactly* what Spirit Airlines does.... I guess it makes sense for an airline like NK.

Jump to postRegarding the distances for passengers at the new SLC, it seems like every article in newspapers and on airport/social media posts ends up with complaints.

Random question. Does AA have free messaging like DL/WN? If so is it across all mainline fleet or just some? No free messaging and their Viasat Wifi is much more expensive that Delta's which is only $5 last time I flew. WN - well that's an entire hot mess when it comes to wifi as their system is ex...
Jump to postAs someone who flies AA quite a bit (PHX is Home) I have no complaint with AA. What I would like to see from some of the posters on here is not how bad Parker is but what exactly is it you would do to make AA better. Having been in management positions in several companies including a multi nationa...
Jump to postYour customers are also quite pleased with the Airbus product thus far, especially in coach where the Airbus product really is more comfortable than its Boeing counterpart. Your customers also universally despise the 737-900ER. You want to point to the surveys that confirm your contentions? More A3...
Jump to postI can say for us at DL, Ed has made it quite clear that our new baseline narrow body aircraft size is the 180-190 seat range. Thats why we ordered 739's and A321s instead of 738s and A320s. The A321 CEOs we have do a lot of replacement flying for the retired mad dogs. The thought process is increas...
Jump to postI flew out of DTW long before the NW/DL merger on a Delta 737-300 to SLC in early 2000s... I seem to recall it was out of the Smith Terminal. Would that be correct? Roughly what gates did Delta use out of DTW in those days? I recall that the place was an absolute dump and was seriously impressed whe...
Jump to postDelta already tried the exotic adds strategy years ago (remember AGP, VLC, PSA, OTP, KBP, BUD, PDL, AMM, CAI?). Not to say some of these won’t work if they were to resume some of them now but with where fuel is going, many of these will be hard to justify… Don't forget that United and American have...
Jump to postThere are huge flow control issues into DFW today based on NW winds. How common is it that DFW is relegated to landings on both the 31s? There are not many landing skid marks on 31L, that’s for sure! I’m currently on a plane now 2.5hrs late due to high winds at 30 MPH gusting to 50 from the NW. It’s...
Jump to postAA 738's are denser then DL's. DL 321's are denser than AA's. it is a wash. Hold up there… This is not true. The Kodiak A321 which will become standard across the fleet has roughly the same seat count as DL, but DL’s A321 has the space flex lavatories giving more room for seats. DL’s standard pitch...
Jump to postWhich again is a personal perspective. Seat pitch and Lavs are exactly the same so the core product that you park your bum on and go to the toilet in are the same. So what's interesting is peoples reactions and perceptions to an AA program which actually matched what Delta was doing in terms or Lav...
Jump to postBe careful with the premium seating thing. DL may have a little more domestic F but UA routinely has way more Y+. Example, 737-900ER, DL has 21, and UA has 39-45. A319: DL 18, UA 36-42.

Jump to postI wonder if the amount of noise has to do with the fact that the new interior has far less parts - I believe the Zodiac/Isis interior reduces the amount of parts in the sidewall from 11 to 4, so less stuff moving around and making noise? No, absolutely not. Or do you think in an aircraft it sounds ...
Jump to postIt did seem less noisy than the AA A320 (ex-US) I flew a few weeks before that, even though I was in First on AA and only had exit row on DL. I had chalked that up to IAE vs CFM, but maybe the new sidewalls were really the factor there? The effect of the new sidewalls is very small, even so small t...
