Was it scrapped, or saved?
I'm not sure when flights 37 and 38 (SAN-OGG-SAN) changed back, but the 763 currently operates them, and that has been in the schedule for months (I'm booked on 38 two weeks from now and when I booked it around Memorial Day it was scheduled as a 763). I didn't realize they changed back. Looking at ...
Jump to postYou can grab a bit of AQ history by buying a luggage tag made from the skin of N823AL (the special Funbird livery AQ jet) at https://planetags.com
They have lots of other tags from other aircraft from the boneyards too.
Great plane, horrible livery. Shame on you AS.
Jump to postThey should never have switched to the Q400 round 2...this was the second time they played with the Q400 in their fleet.

Jump to postSadly I must concur with The Walking Dead....this season has been a dull letdown. For me, when they launched the Fear The Walking Dead spinoff, it was all downhill from there...overmilked the genre. Yawn.
Jump to postWow. Didn't see this coming. They should fly a CSeries jet on a route over Boeing HQ in the shape of a big middle finger! Now come on HA, order some Mobile-built CS100s to replace your 717s.
Jump to postYep HA is unveiling a new or updated livery around beginning of May with supposedly an A330 and 717. In fact, if you search Instagram there was a picture of what it will supposedly look like. That picture was of a GeminiJets model of an upcoming model release of an HA A330 and 717. The 717 model tha...

Jump to post...Even if Gogo was installed on the AA 763ER fleet, it wouldn't work. Gogo in it's current form doesn't work for oceanic flights because it uses land-based towers. You have to wait for them to add Ku-band satellite service.
