Jump to postWow, a bit of a slip of a month. Maybe the flight was filed in error with ATC. I was kind of surprised to see it sked today.

Could be on the story, but it looks like RW13 has 6,000 ft available that doesn't appear to be on the pier. I wonder if a DC10-30 could get off in 6,000 on a flight to LAX. 5,200 on the N/S Runway. I have no doubt there would be performance challenges as LGA runways are short compared typical major...

Jump to postIt didn't get very far in studying, but I had heard CO had analyzed using the DC10-30s that were being pulled from the SoPac to fly LGA-LAX hoping the aircraft would get off the ground before going over the piers. I believe the idea was scuttled as engine-out torque would be too high in case of losi...

It would take a Jennie to do it, but my vote in order would be the 77W, 753, then 764. I think UA has enough 787s coming to cover 772 flying - LR would be a different type where the range is covered by 789s.
Jump to postThe same calculations should be able to be made with NEXT or MAX aircraft with NEXT amenities. If more carryons are in the cabin, fewer bags are in the bin and the total weight calculation would be lower than a standard 738 or 739. The answer should be to have the passenger weights be calculated bas...
Jump to postIf this fuel argument is real, you would think thousands of flights arriving with extra fuel would have been analyzed for another way to save fuel than counting bags differently. Are the new NEXT bins also having the same results with lower fuel loads and arriving at destinations with less fuel on b...

With that update, UA has crossed the 25% level of NB units with NEXT.
An additional 6% were delivered with space bins, so space bins are now on 32% of NB units.
No disagreement there, but if you're going to crown yourself "World's Largest Airline" by destinations (which is not, to be clear, what UA said, merely what some posters here thought may be happening) you can't truthfully caveat that with "*in markets considered international to the ...

The 777-300ER, 772LR (basically a 77W-SP with more characteristics of the 77W vs. 772ER) and the 777F all have the raked wingtips that make the wingspan 13 ft longer. Maybe there wasn't enough interest to build and certify 772ER winglets and I believe the 772ER wing isn't beefy enough for the raked ...
