Yes obviously there are more than 2 shifts in CLT but a vast majority of AA/EN Gate/Ramp full-time Employees work roughly 0600-1430 or 1430-2300 and almost all of their part-time employees work somewhere between 0600 and 2300. I'm not saying it wouldn't work b...

I'm a passionate NASCAR fan (hell, I live in Kannapolis.. come on.. ) and my heart dropped when I got the notification that another NASCAR affiliated aircraft crashed in that area. I'm so, so very happy everyone is ok. A brief history of that area: Alan Kulwicki died when his plane crashed while app...

Hello all, Just received word that starting on May 1st 2020 that Lufthansa will be switching from the A359 (back) to the A340-600. It's currently bookable on their website. CLT was slated for LH A350 service in it's own due time as MUC transitioned away from the A330. However once AA announced it's ...
Jump to postDo you know when CLT will get any 777s and 787s? Any day now. Just waiting for hell to freeze over. In all seriousness I have no idea.

Still waiting for service here in CLT. We got all the test flights during trial runs and we get diversions. Time to start doing it!
And this is coming from someone who works for a competing airline.
They’ve been flying “Tide Pod 1” into CLT frequently for charters. It’s been a welcome splash of color. A proper flight would be a welcome sight.

Interesting.
I worked at an FBO at RIC and he wait a fair share of ice flights using Sierra Pacific and World Atlantic Airways. Didn’t know Swift were charted to do them as well.
I don’t necessarily agree with the notion stated above that the flying public will be blissfully unaware that they will be riding a Max once they are back in service. After the two crashes and after Boeing’s continuing issues getting them back in the air the media has drilled “Boeing 737 Max” into t...

They might not see enough passengers to have CLT-HNL run healthily, hence the stop in PHX. But who knows, AA has surprised us.
I have a question as a local resident of the 704; If US Airways could ((sorta)) do HNL from CLT with their old 762s, would it be possible to American to make it work with the A330s? Before anyone says “Maybe the could use (insert AA widebody)” this is CLT we are talking about, the unloved red headed...
