Re: Wells Fargo sues AA for not returning leased planes on time

I'm in sales for a vehicle fleet leasing company and manage a portfolio of several hundred million in leased assets. This whole things reads like a day in my life to me. Things like this happen all the time, even with my best customers. Things aren't always pretty and wrapped up in a nice bow when y...

Re: OAG Changes 6/3/2018:AA Adds DFW-BUF/DRT/ILM/SRQ,MIA-GSP/TYS;DL LAS-CDG for CES

Looks like AA DFW-DRT will start Nov. 4 with two ERJ-140's. 88 seats per day will be a challenge to fill but my best goes out to them. I believe Continental did IAH-DRT with RJ's several years ago. I think Acuña, just across the Rio Grande from DRT, is becoming quite the manufacturing town for some...

Re: Southwest Finally Announces Intentions to Serve Hawaii

I pay 3 times as much to fly HOU-DFW than I would to fly HNL-ITO : flights of the same length. Have you ever flown on the WN DAL-HOU nonstops, and if so, have you paid as much on the WN DAL-HOU nonstops than you did on the HOU-DFW nonstops? I frequently fly any combo of DFW/DAL-HOU\IAH on WN and AA...

Re: WN leases slots from AS at LGA/DCA

As someone who lives close to Love Field and who likes an assigned seat, this makes me a little sad. I'm not at all surprised though. I've taken the DAL-DCA flight many times and I don't think it's ever been even 2/3 full. My two questions are, where is WN going to get the gate space at DAL to oper...

Re: Scandinavian in Boston

Why would SK fly Stavanger-Houston? If there even a market between the two cities? Maybe it would have been better for SK to fly CPH-IAH instead. You're right, it does seem like an odd route at first look. However, Stavanger is home to Norway's oil industry and the company Statoil, which has its No...

Re: American Airlines Flight Symbol and Avianca Logo Similarities

The avianca logo is a better design, can use it on drinkware, embroidery without any modification. The AA designers should have known to avoid gradients and drop shadows.

Re: AA markets not served from DFW

I believe AA used the lifting of restrictions at DAL as an excuse for cutting non-stops to PVD, BUF and LIM back in the early 2000s. They said they would have to use planes used on those routes to fly routes out of DAL.

Re: WOW Launching DFW

This Dallas guy just got 2 rt tickets on a whim. Always wanted to check out Iceland, and at $300, hard not to book for a long weekend. I wish WW lots of luck. Hopefully they can entice more Texans to get out and see the world beyond CUN.

Re: DL: Promotion to CPT in 6 Mos. From DOH If You'll Fly MD88

I'm very sad there is not a fare sale to CPT. As someone who loves the Mad Dog, and CPT, I thought it was a deal for me! Getting to add a pin in DOH on my map was just an added bonus.

Re: Hurricane Harvey and Houston airports

I'm in Dallas, and most of my clients are in the Houston area. Everyone I have spoken to has been ordered to stay at home this week to keep roadways clear and people safe. Just because most freeways are open, many employers don't want to put their employees at unnecessary risk getting to work, espec...

Re: Peruvian Airlines

Star Peru on the BAe 146 is a pretty unique ride between Lima and Cuzco as well. A 4-holer with 3-3 seating on an RJ is not something you see much of anymore. They pass out a decent snack as well.

Spirit A320s Parked at DFW

I just landed at DFW and noticed what looked like a couple of Spirit A320s in temporary storage, parked by the old Delta Cargo building. Does anyone know what's up with them?

Re: DFW: AA gets serious about F; Renovations to C in lingo

I've been lucky enough for my last several flights that I hadn't been in terminal C in probably over a year until last week when I departed and arrived from there. It really is awful now compared to the other terminals. I worked in terminal E (then 4E) in the late 90s and always thought C was a dump...

Re: AAL Oversized / FC cabin w/ connection help please..

Sounds right to me. You have a multi-stop itinerary, not a single Cali-Dayton Itinerary. Why wouldn't you have to pay baggage fees for each part of your journey?

Re: The adds on this site have gotten out of control....

Agreed. The auto play video ads are extremely irritating too. I feel like I'm on some junk website. Between the irritating ads and the decline in the quality of posts in the forums, I think my 15 year love affair with this site is finally over.

Re: New Texas Airline

I believe the last agreement that killed the wright amendment limits all commercial air service in the DFW Metro to only Love Field and DFW. That killed any possibility of air service in McKinney or any further tries at Meacham Field in Fort Worth or any other small GA airport in the region for that...

Re: Why no IAG Model in the US?

Since the US is just one big country there is no need to maintain separate airlines because of bilaterals, home country rules, etc. Some of the benefits of merging are being able to pull all marketing and operations under one brand, flexibility moving fleet types around, etc. It would be an addition...

Is that a real picture of their plane? It looks like some photo shopped stock picture. Or some fake airline from a movie or TV show.

Re: New Site.

I like this new layout. It's modern and less cluttered than the old site. I will say that I miss the old blue w/ white text, but that's a small price to pay if this means the end of those F&*$(@! auto play video ads!

AA Inaugural 787 7/5/15

Does anyone have any idea of any special events they'll do for the inaugural flight?
