N84378 - IGM->BOI transfer to SKW from UAL (26Mar)
N85379 - IGM->BOI transfer to SKW from UAL (02Apr)
Looks like AA made some cuts to LGA this summer and/or late spring, basically reducing a bunch of markets by 1-2 daily. Nothing major, although interesting given their increases in PHL. LGA-BHM/DAY suspended LGA-CHO down to 1x daily LGA-CVG down to 2x daily LGA-STL down to 2x daily LGA-YUL down to ...

Jump to postUnited B737 Max-9 on the move - N37540 - UAL3844 - MBJ-MCO, 10,000 Feet
https://www.flightradar24.com/UAL3844/33b1117f
Looks like A/C 7540 - N37540 - Boeing 737 Max 9 is repositioning from MBJ to MCO at 10,000 Feet!
It is clearly avoiding Cuban airspace, must not have overflight authorization.

I noticed an Alaska plane has been sitting at the gate since yesterday. I drove by around 11:30 both Tuesday and Wednesday and saw it there, but no info on when it came in or when it was going to leave. It was much too early for the CMH-SEA flight. I would assume it is not a MAX-9 as I figured thos...

Jump to postQuestion that I don't see asked or answered, I may have missed it: It was mentioned that the aircraft was restricted for pressurization issues and was being worked on. Has it been mentioned if the area of concern was the plug door and if so, was it removed and reseated as part of the fix? If these 7...

Jump to postLooks like two different aircraft took off from Mc Guire and flew up the river, then did a 180 near Yonkers, then flew back down the river crossing the GW Bridge around 1234L. It doesn't show the aircraft type but shows around 300-600 feet and flying at 130kts.

Jump to postI'm not sure if the LHR schedule is final for next summer, but it does look to be a bit more of a cut than anticipated. EWR is showing 6x (rather than 7x) and IAD 2x (instead of 3x). BOS-LHR, as we know, is gone (last one is tomorrow). ORD back to 3x and all of the other seasonal adds return, with ...
Jump to post. To this day I'm still not sure why UA canceled IAH-CDG but I would give that route a 70/30 percent chance 70% it might return 30% it won't. The rest of it either will not happen at all or can be better served from a different hub. H Wasn't CO part of SkyTeam w/ Air France prior to merging with Un...
Jump to postIt looks like UA is suspending (I would assume seasonally) EWR-HNL. Last flight is 13 April. Strangely IAD-HNL continues (albeit Saturday only). I would have thought that EWR-HNL was the stronger market - maybe IAD-HNL commands a higher yield? Probably a European route is a better fit for this 764 ...
Jump to postAnd according to Flightaware it will cancel for the third day in a row on Saturday. This is usually flown by an A380, so that's (presumably) a LOT of customers needing rebooking. Plus, doesn't BA have to pay some cash penalty to each passenger if they cancel for reasons other than weather, act of G...

Jump to postIs jetBlue nearing another operational meltdown? My folks were scheduled to fly out to PBI tonight and their flight is 4+ hours delayed. A check of other flights and options for them yielded multiple flights either 3+ hours delayed or cancelled. Are other carriers experiencing the same or is it jus...
Jump to postSorry if I'm missing something, but why would United have an asymmetrical layout for E/E+ on the A321 NEOs? I understood the exit doors to be symmetrical on both sides of the aircraft. My guess is with the extra galley in the rear, there was not enough room to make it it match the left side. They w...
Jump to postWhy does it take so long to reregister the ex-YX 170s? The last time I was on the Skylink at DFW, I saw a painted 170 with the presumably AA/MQ registration covered with a sticker, showing the xxxRW reg. Perhaps it's all normal, but it strikes me that these are taking longer than usual. Curious why...
Jump to postUA needs to cut certain regional markets from EWR and move frequencies to IAD. Markets like SCE, MDT, ITH, PQI, AVP are a waste of EWR gates. The thing is, UA can't drop flights as other carriers will just start them in their place taking the slot. So, UA will always need to schedule the maximum nu...

Anyone have information as to why these three Alaska flights out of IAD left late and all near the same time?

I just came across this routing for BA57/27Mar - LHR-JNB - It is strange, as the other two LHR flights alongside it currently, flew direct.
