What do you think could be the 1st scheduled A350 flight in YYZ?
Some have mentioned IB, but personally I find it unlikely in the short term.
What about CX? Probably for their 2nd daily flight. Or the LH flight from MUC?
Looking forward to reading about your thoughts on this.

Apparently just after take off from DGO bound for MEX. Not many details at this time.
Most probably an Embraer, either E170/E175/E190.
Just found out that BA is suspending 747 service in their LHR-MEX route starting November 1st this year. Apparently the flight will now be operated by 787-9 aircraft. Doing a quick search on their website for flights next summer, the route appears as flown by 772 aircraft, so it seems that the Jumbo...

So the AstroJet is back in revenue ops today 8/04. Flew EWR - CLT - EWR in the morning and is now on its way to PHX before its last leg of the day to SAN.
Hopefully someone can spot it and let us know about its paint job after spending some days in Tulsa.
The AstroJet has been in Tulsa for a couple of weeks now, since July 16th... Does anyone know if this visit to maintenance will result in a revised livery? Hopefully nothing will change on the outside except for some proper polish work.

AeroMexico's crews (who absolutely have to rank among the people who hate their jobs the most in the world, according to my experience) do the same thing, giving no window control to passengers. This dark window system in the 787 was something quite remarkable to me at first, but now that I see that...
