the also flew SEASJC. they tried for about 6mos. AS buried them, so did Continental West
Jump to postThis gives the 73G a kick right in the engines with the A223 doesn't it? 130 pax... Why didn't DL order the 7M7 for fleet commonality? DL used to fly MD88's depending on the time of year ATLLAS. ATLPHX, MD90 ATLDEN. can the A223 compete in those markets in the off years, to keep the departure number...
Jump to postkeep in mind, there's no 320's into DAL at all with this new sked. so the equipment is half the size. almost the same amount of seats, just more flights in/out, to make it look busy. They need to re-open LGA, and add ORD, ATL, DCA, RDU, AUS--Get the nation's tech centers involved
Jump to posthow does this airline stay in business? I am not mocking, I am serious. Praying the souls and their family. Isn't that the second Max8? They have the same safety record as KE and CI had in the 80's 90's. I remember the Buddhist Monks praying of the CI planes from the tarmac, at TSA and TPE as they p...
Jump to postBA 788, or KL 789. NW/KL Codeshared on that for a while
Jump to postquestion... when flights are diverted for unruly pax, who pays for that? Possible fuel dump, landing fees, ground equipment, new fuel, etc..... the fees must be thousands, anyone know? Seems to be happening more and more. How do we detour pax from that?
Jump to postA friend who works at MSP said DY flight from OAK to CDG diverted to MSP. He thinks it was due to unruly pax, but I cannot find anything on it.
Am I missing something?
took UA SNA-SJC with conx in SFO. Same way on the return, just for the segment credit with FFQ.
Jump to postsomeone would hire him, VN, VietJet, Tiger, SU, CU, S7, PR, CA, GA... no offense to those carriers... I just think someone airlines out there wouldn't see it as an issue if he got help for his issue. I could be wrong.
Jump to postWhen I read the article in BBConline (I think) it said the flight was delayed an hour and they departed with two pilots only. Is that legal? I know they were not flying out of the US, but in my ignorance, I thought you had to have a back-up pilot for TATL/TPAC flights of 8hrs or more, or certain amo...

Jump to postWhat is the benifit for carriers like UA or AA to operate both (or have on order) both the 787 & the 350? I see AirChina flies both. I have often wondered if they are not trying to pinch ideas and techology from the world's two larges plane makers to create their own? Do you think Aeroflot will ...
Jump to postthe issue is, being on the East Coast, people don't look at AS the same as they do AA, UA, B6, & DL to SFO, LAX, & LAS... AS needs to boost their marketing and get their product known. They have had a huge opportunity to expand JFK. They are not taking it. Such a shame. With feed from SEA, P...
Jump to postThey could bring back SJC-PSP, SJC-ONT, maybe SJC-ATL, SJC-BOS, SJC-ORD? SJC EWR & JFK seem to be working. Maybe SJC-WAS? I see them building up their SJC and SAN Routes. Maybe SJC-MCI or SJC-RDU? They have the gate space in SJC. So maybe they will move some SFO stuff to the South Bay?
Jump to postMaybe AF CDG-SJC? AA used to fly it. t would be a perfect route for a 788. DL has some support for it on the SJC side with ns flights to SEA, LAX, LAS, SLC, JFK, ATL
Jump to postI think it would either be, IAH, ORD or YYZ
Jump to postI think probably IAH too. But why does it have to be a US City in North America? Maybe YYZ? YYZ & SIN are both Star Alliance hubs.
Jump to postI have always been curious why MCI failed as a hub city? Was it because it was sandwiched between DEN, ORD, STL and DFW? BN tried, no-go, EA tried, no-go, US & YX both tried as focus cities, and it flopped.
What are your thoughts?
THEY ANNOUNCED GATEWAYS: SAN, SMF, OAK, SFO, SJC
Jump to postAnymore word on this? It was just coming in on BBC America, but the phone rang.
Jump to postnot true, BA flies SFO, SJC to LHR OAK to LGW, IB OAK-BCN, LAN Peru Returning QF, JL, CX from SFO all ways to earn on AS!
Jump to postDEN, OAK, SEA, SJC, PDX, LAS, PHX, SNA, GEG, SMF... I have seen 757's go 8 hrs... WN can use their MAX's
Jump to postit's a shame they couldn't turn that around and buy their employees new attitudes. DL has realized customer service is first.
Jump to posthuge 777 to OAK vs 789 SJC... why not the other way around?
Jump to postI want to know how BA can run a 772 LGW-OAK simply to compete with DY, also doing LGW-OAK, and IB is doing biz/coach BCN-OAK, with other routes rumored. Why of all carriers especially would BA be killing SJC traffic with a huge 777? why not a 788? Why does the East Bay need so much lift? Talk about ...
Jump to postI was having lunch with a buddy of mine from SJC yesterday. He works for Samsung and goes to SEL a lot. He said KE and/or was being wooed by SJC to start service to SEL with 1130p-1145p departures 4 days a week TU, TH, SAT & SUN. I got to thinking about it and I guess it's viable. KE would use a...

Jump to postSJC on a permanent basis. It does well during the summer red-eye, why not a morning and midday?
Jump to postAA flew DC10 BNA-LGW for a brief time in the 90's
Jump to postEven DY could do well in SJC. Take it from OAK and give it better connection ops
Jump to postfrom my understanding, the folks at Samsung are chatting with KE, not DL, I think for obvious reasons. I think SEL would be a major addition. HU has dropped to 2x a week next year. I don't think BJS is doing so well. Not sure. CX has added another SFO-HKG, maybe move it to SJC, another great opportu...
Jump to postWith entry of CA, HU, BA, LH, AC in the past 18mos, might we see AF in SJC, and re-open the SJC-CDG route that AA flew for a short time, or maybe BR into TPE, where AA once operated too? I had heard word that KE and Samsung were in talks. I subcontracted for Samsung in SJC for about a year, and that...
Jump to postI think MCI, STL, AUS, DFW, RDU tech cities to tech cities. I say RDU because there must be a need from the West Coast. AA added it from SJC for the last 3 years over the summer, DL has it from LAX, UA has it to SFO. DL is quite large at RDU. They offer service to CDG now, maybe they're trying to gi...
Jump to postI hate to point out the obvious, but what about their customer service affecting their bottom line. The new AA is AWFUL! I know people complain, but I know people who avoid them like the plague. Very cut throat!
Jump to postI was just thinking that with the merger of AS/VX they're going to have the second largest carrier with the amount of lift to the Hawaiian Islands: SAN, LAX, SJC, OAK, SFO, SMF, SEA, GEG (seasonal), PDX & ANC. Do we see them expanding further to PHX, DEN, RNO, SLC, SNA or LAS? or would they comb...
