Re: Rumor: AS to acquire HA; operate as separate brand.

i wonder if there will be any fleet consolidation, like getting rid of the a321neos (maybe going to UA) and replacing with max, and replacing 717s with e175s, although it remains to be seen whether those can operate well for those operations.

Re: United Airlines Fleet - 2023

I think someone in previous mentioned the A321 on SNA-EWR: that will never happen due to the takeoff performance limitations departing SNA. How is AA able to use the A321neo on SNA-CLT? I'm not privy to AA's performance numbers or business case for the route, but it's certainly highly weight restri...
