Airlines traditionally do not give out loads to non employees. Even back when the non-rev reservation numbers existed it was a yes there is seats you are X on the list kind of conversation not a there is x seats open sort of deal.
Jump to postI think it is fascinating how AA can go into some of these ‘smaller’ markets and just dominate because they commit to gauge and frequency increases as loads go up. Meanwhile, UA esp, will just ignore a market even when their planes are full. Yea that's a great point. It's been amazing to see AA dom...
Jump to postGiven the length of the route, could it be a fuel stop? Has UAL done that before on this route? Don’t think that would make much sense, HNL is pretty far out of the way Crew swap due to the delay out of SIN? It is a pretty normal thing that occurs from Asia when there is crew duty time issues. They...
Jump to postWhen the time comes, who will actually oversee the new engine being installed on the AA side? Will they send personnel from one of their US maintenance bases down? Most Airlines have Heavy/Special MX teams that deploy for things like these and work with the local MX team to complete work like this....

Jump to postTrue, you can also just generally use Flaps 0 for takeoff on the C525, but as practically all departures are noise-abatement, you never use it. Unless as said with Icing Fluid on the wings, in which case safety trumps noise. As a non-pilot, why is this? More flap gives you a shorter takeoff run and...
Jump to postLAX-HNL was mentioned in the press release as a possible route but I don’t see that as a possibility. These birds will probably only do LHR runs from JFK and MIA. Just my opinion. They don't need 20 of them for those routes, so they must have other routes in mind. Just remember, AA has 16 aircraft ...
Jump to postI have 2500 hours in Citations, never heard of that one. There’s not even no flap data. If I knew a way to send you a PDF here... Just read again the Flightsafety Intl Pilot Training Manual for the CJ2 (which with regards to flight controls is the same for the +/3/4), and I quote... "takeoff i...

Jump to postMSN also has seasonal SY service to RSW, LAS, MCO, and PHX. F9 also serves LAS and seasonal MCO.

Now you're driving 70+ miles just to make a connection...
Jump to postI think Connect Airlines would have to fit into American's network since they are the only major carrier without a Canadian partner at this point. The only issue there is that Connect is an American airline, not a Canadian one. They just have chosen to start with their base of operations to be in C...
Jump to postSo i fly a couple different kind of business jets. We never use VNAV in the climb, very few departures have altitudes that we need to stop at or be under so we will use FLC or VS in the climb exclusively.

Jump to postBOS is closer great circle, so it likely has something todo with that one would assume
Jump to postThe article clearly states that it is against the city code (and likely zoning laws) to operate the airport. The FAA is federal and has nothing to do with municipal rules so they don't talk to each other about things like this, the FAA could care less if it aginst the cities rules to own an airport.
Jump to postMy excuses for the - most likely pretty dumb - question, but how does it work to deliver jet fuel through a pipeline?

Jump to postI do agree that there are fewer flights than expected SEA has a lot of NYC lift and is nearby YVR-NYC also overflies at a minimum of 4 major hubs (I'm sure I missed one). Transcons use a lot of time on aircraft, it may have better yields only having a few nonstops and sending the rest on connections
Jump to postJust looking quickly through the flight deck photos of Delta's Airbuses (330s and 350s included) it appears they are all missing it. It was probably an old NW thing that it was ordered without the panel and DL kept it out to keep the fleet common.
Jump to postMost airlines(90%) will stick to MAX, or worst case defer until NSA. A320s are so badly sold out that it can't make any meaningful conversion other than a few airlines (mostly those who operate both). If A220 can get its production sorted and increase production in next couple of years, that is the...
Jump to postOne thing is for sure, I sincerely doubt AA will retire any airplanes anytime soon, even the 80s. Not in a precarious state like this. I'm gonna disagree with you on this. If AA has any Super 80s that are scheduled for retirement during the MAX grounding I bet they will leave the fleet as scheduled...
Jump to postNo it wasn’t. Just tired of novices who are clueless Im not a novice and i was told (APA) mentioned MD80’s coming back online along with there Venezuela memo to pilots.. The company hasn't said anything about more MD80s coming out of ROW. There are no pilots to fly them, when a plane leaves the fle...
Jump to postAccording to aerotransport.org, AA has 28 M80s still in service, and all are due for retirement this year. No breakdown by aircraft by month for retirement. I believe that one of them is leaving before the summer. That's N501AA the sole MD-82 left in the fleet at this point. All the other remaining...
Jump to postThe monopoly is the reason it is the largest airport in the world. You take that away and the airport will lose traffic to better placed alternatives. I mean who in their right mind want to fly for 2-3 hours extra just because Delta push all their traffic through ATL. If the monopoly goes away you ...
Jump to postAA has a base at BOS, and just recently closed a base at STL (former TWA base). UA also still have a base in CLE. And while not technically a hub DLs NYC base covers EWR I believe. Most regionals in the US have bases that are closer to the preferred port or reverse rostering than basing. They operat...
Jump to postCO cut TGZ in 2008. It must have been performing particularly poorly as most of the other Mexican regional markets survived the recession and were cut more recently post-merger. UA also cut VSA. This leads me to believe that there is very little demand from this region of Mexico to the US and most ...
Jump to postI'm a big believer that we won't see where everyone's true homes are until they are done reconstructing the whole airport. There is so much changing there that some big moves could still be made at some point.
Jump to postAA likely holds the market share. While CLT may not be as well connected to the world as ATL, you can get to pretty much anywhere with 2 stops and passengers may not necessarily be going somewhere that requires more than 1 stop. The airlines know where people want to go and will build their flights ...

Jump to postI think the ULCC business model is inherently flawed. I doubt Jebtlue will go down the path of ULCC. Cramming 20% more seats on a plane and selling them for 50% of the ticket price of competitors can only work for so long. They are essentially making the seats a loss leader and making profit on anc...
