Re: IAH/HOU Aviation Thread 2018

Re: OPINION: How American Dropped the Ball With Their New Cabin

AA hasn't done anything to the LUS A320s other than new seat covers, new bulkhead designs, and 2Ku wifi on some aircraft. All still have the 150 seat comfiguration (12F 138Y). So basically, the A320s have the exact same seats and configuration that existed before the merger. Sorry to hear about you...

OPINION: How American Dropped the Ball With Their New Cabin

Before I begin, I would just like to say that this flight could have been an isolated incident and MAY NOT be representative of all American Airlines aircraft. I would also like to say that I will, in fact, be flying American Airlines at least once more (and probably more in the future). This is jus...

Re: Why no IAH-HKG on UA or CX?

If you listen carefully, you can hear LAXdude’s teeth grinding right now... But to answer your question, not nearly a big enough market and there aren’t any alliance ties to justify it. That, and TPE on BR pretty much has it covered. Then throw in NH and UA on NRT and SQ on IAH-MAN-SIN and the entir...

Re: UA announces IAH-SYD, starting Jan 18, 2018

Wow, one of the pipe dreams actually panned out! This brings me to question something now. UA is adding this based on comnections and convenience. What other routes could be of use that use that same model as opposed to strictly oil and alliance tied? And to be fair, no one here thought this would e...

Re: New A&P advice

Right now, Panasonic is looking to recruit our school. They're offering $24/hour for entry level A&P's working 4 days, 48 hours a week (I would get overtime too). And that's here at IAH. That's the job that I want as of right now. But I also want to do overseas contracting. PAE has an Antarctica...

New A&P advice

I've been AFK on a.net for the better part of a year now, and the primary reason for that is because I've been in A&P school since November. My graduation is set for January. So I'd like to ask some for what they know about the industry and some advice on what would be best for me moving forward...

Re: China Eastern to start PVG-IAH

If I I may add my 2 cents... IF... What is being said about SkyTeam, DL and AM is true, then I think I can tell what's going on. In an effort to get ahead of a future oil spike, SkyTeam is playing route network chess to establish themselves before demand strikes again. That way, while UA is playing ...

IAH under this new administration

SO let's try to keep political opinions out of this as much as we can. Alright? Alright! With Donald Trump as president and almost an entirely red government around him, along with "peace talks" with Russia and other countries where the US has gone sour, What could this mean for IAH specif...

Re: Rumor: China Eastern to Houston in 2017

I didn't think MU would even mention an expansion to Houston, so it must not be as flash-in-the-pan as one would think. And the source is Aviation Week. To be fair, BR showed their hand a year before they even announced the route. Everyone and their mother knew it was going to happen, it was just a...

Re: Rumor: China Eastern to Houston in 2017

I mean, if IAH has a hole in Asia at this point, Shanghai is the one. And it really doesn't seem like that big of a deal that we don't serve there (at least right now). But hey, if China Eastern does actually want to come here, I'm sure they know more than I do. After all, it's their money, not mine...

Re: Houston's Future

So here's a question.

If that post from DFW Tower is accurate and KE is averaging a 70% LF during the high season, would they be better off going seasonal only operating from something like April to October? Or should they keep it year round and fight the low loads during winter?

Re: Houston's Future

Here is a list of IAH passengers stats for the int'l carriers at IAH, Wish this could be done every month. http://www.dfwtower.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=8416 That really doesn't look bad. Certainly not the horror story that I expected. Granted, it's the high part of the year so the number will b...

Re: IAH-JFK flights?

DL, AA and I believe CO have tried it. All have failed. Combined with UA no longer in JFK, it kind of speaks for itself unfortunately.

Re: Houston's Future

I remember reading somewhere that CI wanted to start service using their new A350-900XWB's. This seems likely, given the success of BR at IAH as well as their cargo operation. Part of me agrees and part of me disagrees. BR has the benefit of having Star Alliance connections. But if I'm not mistaken...
