Just came across this article. Media sensationalism aside this is crazy.

It has nothing to do with the performance of the route or AA, IIRC all A330s are being moved to FRA so the flight had to go to an A350. It was going to eventually become an A350 but was moved up to counter Americans CLT-MUC flight. It has been well known here for a while now. But the slow drive by ...
Jump to postYes the Lufthansa lady was here and totally lost her mind when it taxied down the runway.
Cheers to the tower for having them do that! We enjoyed it!
A few moments ago Lufthansa just landed their first A350 here in Charlotte! This was a test flight for the actual start date on March 31. The switch to the A350 was going to occur later in the year however once American announced their own CLT-Munich flight on March 31, Lufthansa “ coincidently “ mo...
Jump to postIts doable but its tight. Back in my G4 days we were just starting to look at proper transcons. A crew could fly LAS-East Coast and back but you would need no delays of any kind. We were more speculating they would start overnighting crews and do say... LAS-RIC-PIE, and the crews would swap out for ...

I do not have time to dig through the thread at this time, would anyone be willing to post the last recorded FPM descent rate?

Jump to postCLT doesn't have non-gate ramp space to RON? We do. The bigger one is next to taxiway Echo, namely by E15-E16-E17. Those are mostly taken up by Delta and American. The other hardstand location is up against the fence at the construction site of Concourse A Phase II. United uses all of those spots. ...
Jump to postYep, then Delta will take the new gate when Phase II is all done and AA will take the rest of the gates.
Jump to postJust to cover all my bases, I'm not mentioning Deltas A con gates in the old terminal because those are irrelevant to this conversation. Delta is very busy here. Also "Big Daddy D" isn't known for sharing.
Jump to postI think it's because it's a new airport, and NK seems to be making it a focus city. As CLTrr said... there are gate space issues, which implies padding the sked. Here's a quick and oversimplified look at the A Con gates: United A21-A23-A25-A27: No room at night and not enough time during the day, a...

To my knowledge, the 332 isn't the hangar queen but rather the 333 on the LUS side.
