Re: American Airlines MD-80 Retirement Discussion Thread

Flew on the last OKC-DFW departure yesterday, which brought a quirky streak to an end for me. Since a ride on N7537A in 2005 (also my first ever flight), every one of the 17 flights between that city pair I'd had was on a MD-80. Obviously that's all there was at first, seven a day (or thereabouts). ...

Re: Nashville embarks on a 1.2 Billion Dollar renovation.

I love on here how folks like to downplay BNA and its unrealized potential. LOL! God forbid someplace NOT MIA, LAX, or a hub city not grow. I don't know that anybody's necessarily downplaying BNA. People just see the recent growth taking place there and wonder how well it can be sustained. It's not...

Re: Is the A380 Dead

It's not a completely crazy question to ask of manufacturers in the face of slow sales of one of its products, but don't you think you could at least wait until after Farnborough to ask that question? At the absolute least, EK is still on board.

It ain't dead yet, and won't be for a while.

Re: Why did the Widebodies 3 holers era end?

The Boeing 767 changed everything, the 777 would have never been a twin if TWA didn't launch 767 Atlantic flights in 1983. Back then if you had said there would be twin engine nonstop flights from LAX to Kingsford Smith Airport In Sydney Australia you would have been examined by a psychiatrist. Lon...

Re: Oklahoma Commercial Aviation

Keep in mind, despite the slowing of Oil and Gas related traffic, OKC is still posting growing passengers numbers. True, but only just. Through May, enplanements are up 0.5% over last year. That said, from this simple observer's perspective, it looks like Alaska and Allegiant appear to be doing wel...

Re: Oklahoma Commercial Aviation

Welcome to Anut. Jetmatt pointed out the issue with OKC. When the economy is good then OKC can support more point to point flying which always seems slow to happen. When the economy slows then OKC seems to be the first inline for flights to be cut and divert the passengers back through a hub and sp...
