It looks like the Aug 14th departure operated by a 788 made a stop at ESB on the way to MAA. According to FlightAware, it departed LHR at 13:37 and landed at ESB at 20:13. It left ESB at 21:53 and arrived at MAA at 06:49, 3 hours and 19 minutes behind schedule. Does anyone know what happened? Medica...
Jump to post408 seats on a 77W? Good lord almighty that is an awfully dense configuration. Just for comparison, AA's 77Ws have 310 seats and are now going down to 304 seats as they get retrofitted with premium economy.
Jump to postAs AA adds premium economy to the 77Es, will they be reducing the J cabin on these 77Es to match the rest of the fleet with the B/E seats? Horton and crew had come up with this configuration and the retrofit was in process already before Parker and crew took over. They updated the plans and reduced ...

Jump to postBTW try sitting in a 343 climbing out of JNB. The climb rate is atrocious, but so what? It meets the minimum requirements. It sure beats sitting in the terminal because your 777 is tire-speed limited and can't take off until midnight.... Do you mind explaining to me what this means? I'm researching...
Jump to postMeanwhile...AA 763s don't even have AVOD/PTVs...not even the refurbished ones. As a longtime AA fan boy, and someone who just recently worked there...this is frustrating.
Jump to postThe lack of any ownership costs on the MD-80 make it really attractive to operate still even though it may be less efficient from a fuel burn perspective.

The article neglects to mention which airline was operating this flight, does anyone have any more details?
Or maybe the one taxiing just landed and is taxiing...if I'm not mistaken, there are runways on either side of the terminal. So it could be coming from the other side and taxiing to the gate.
