Re: American Airlines Network - 2023
While this makes sense to me, what does NOT make sense is the talk of AA using the XLRs on JFK-LAX/SNA/SFO. Why would they use the long-range version of the A321 on a 2,500 domestic route when it's really needed on the thin TATL routes when a standard A321 with the new J class seats could do the jo...

Re: American Airlines Network - 2023
We will definitely see some. I suspect that the first XLRs out of CLT will mainly be used to extend some of the seasonal TATL routes like MAD/CDG to year-round. After that I imagine a few frames will add some new destinations out of CLT. But not expecting CLT to get the name amount of XLR ops as PH...

I rode that AA bus to the Eagles Nest a few times and in May the driver was very chatty and friendly at the expanse of paying attention. A lot of the problem is that Airport should have terminals like that connected and eliminate the buses. I had an airfield drivers license at PHX a few years ago a...

Re: Why are today's flight times longer than 25 years ago?
I heard somewhere that AA1 NYC-LAX was 5:45 in 60's on 707, now it's 6:30. Airport congestion, traffic congestion, more people flying, all makes things slower. In 1974, AA3 JFK 12:00p-LAX 2:40p was 5:40 on a 747-100. Today, AA331 JFK 11:29a-LAX 2:52p is 6:27 on an A321-200. In 1975, NA81 JFK 9:55a-...
