I already have two flights booked on the Delta 330. They have it starting on that Saturday the 22 (not on New Year's which is a 757). It makes going through ATL so much nicer. Man I wish we could have that plane all year.

The 772 makes sense as it can be supported from LAX for mx & crew Well...MX would be a challenge I should think. Unless they bring in some spares to keep here, they'd better hope that bird doesn't go tech here. Never thought of that till reading your post. I think somebody mentioned before that...
Jump to postWould this have been something BA and AA would have discussed? Are they even allowed to? AA using a 777 does make more sense than BA using two of their legacy 744s. That being said I personally hate it. Would have loved to see the second BA service resume and AA use a 777 for another international d...
Jump to postWhile I have no problem with the policy personally as it is industry-standard in the US, PHX is a pretty large crew base and Arizona law does not allow employees to be punished or reprimanded for using their 40 hours of paid sick leave.

Jump to postWill be curious to see how they do here in PHX with Swoop already coming, plus we have Rouge as well...especially since Flair will be at AZA. A physician in town told me that 25% of snowbirds are now Canadians and up to that percentage makes up new home buys. While I do not believe the latter, the ...

Jump to postNice to see the Atlas 744 depart this morning. Heading to MSY. Interesting enough, when I would fly down to Pinal, this bird would either be in the big hangar or occasionally pushed back on the ramp in the portion used as a taxiway and security would come out to make sure I did not taxi into it whic...

Jump to postI think the bigger issue for F9 @ PHX is gate space. Most nights they are playing musical gates w/ B6 and are constantly moving planes back and forth from Spot 4. If B6 has dual-ops F9 gets put in time-out in the Center Hold Bay. Hopefully will not be as big of an issue in a few months. I think the...
Jump to postI’m not sure on why people have so much disdain for Frontier? They know they jump around - that’s their business model. I’d think people would appreciate the additional options out of PHX. I actually had a great round trip on them last year PHX-SEA-PHX and the price was great. The next time I plann...
Jump to postYou know I've been thinking. PHX-DTW only has 2 dedicated carriers on a route that is decently sized. F9 ended the nonstop a few years ago. Is it time for Spirit to step up to the plate? Delta has what, 4 non-stops now including the red-eye? If you are getting anywhere on the east coast at a reason...

I saw the two 747 side by side yesterday and was surprised as it's not one of the days with two BA flights. Recent updates at PHX resulted in PHX having four widebody capable gates, and with only 1 scheduled widebody flight, it's a good diversion airport now. Also, the flights landed nearly back to...
Jump to postSlightly off topic: But do other people find CX J service lacking? Last time I flew the crew forgot to distribute menus, then they forgot to ask half of the cabin what they wanted.

Jump to postNot sure if you only meant as far as OneWorld. I have a lot of friends who are ready to jump from OneWorld to DL once the new SkyClub opens late this year. I know it seems petty, however, having that lounge to relax with somewhat peace and quiet before a long day of flying makes a huge difference. ...

I was told the reason why AA doesn’t do PHX from BNA, is because it would jeopardize their successful LAX flight. You’d lose connecting PAX to PHX, rather than LAX. That makes sense.
