There is no way to know which a/c youll be on since this flight is still over a month away. The earliest we could have an idea is probably about 2 days before the flight. But then again, things can change up until departure time because of unforseen problems ie. mechanical, weather etc.... What I ca...

Some people dont have a sence of anything when they get up there. And if its bad for a pax. not to use their common sence, worse off for a F/A. Some are taking rules to extent. Sorry for the incident. But we´re not all alike.
QQ, Headsets go to 5.00 on the 1st Dec. As for embracing the new IFE units..... Well dont include me.

Jump to postYak 42,
I just saw this planes pic for the first time. And after having flown on the smaller ones, I just have to say.... Id love to fly on this machine. Its so sleek and I have to say, one of the nicest looking planes I have seen these days. Hope you enjoy it.
JAX, I would assume it was just tranferred to <acronym title="American Airlines (USA)">AA</acronym> in the same order it had at TWA. So the num 1 F/A there is the first former TWA flight attendant. But youre right, Im afraid not many of them will want to come back to flying this late in the game. It...
Jump to postRamerinianair, Im not sure of the pilots. But with F/A´s the all have the same seniority date. Their date of hire was negotiated and is the same for all TWA´s F/A´s. And the seniority date of the last person recalled this time around is getting really close to the seniority date of the TWA F/A´s. So...
Jump to postLooking at the seniority numbers, I would guess that former TWA F/A´s could actually start coming back during the next recall of F/A´s.

Jump to postI have a feeling that its already done. There just isn't much changing on Dec 15th. Miami-Buenos Aires just changed to 2 777's as of Nov 1.... Or maybe I just noticed! But Im happy to know its going to all 777's at least for a while.

United could very well be just taking these a/c out of these routes just to place them somewhere where they may get better yield and return. I see all the airlines doing this now a days. You have to sacrifice your low yielding routes and place your a/c where they will work better for the airline. Co...
Jump to postWhile were in the subject. This morning taking off from MIA I say a US 737 which had the black tail but the body of the plane was polished. Is this a test of some sort, or just a plane waiting for its full colors?
