From the look of things, Delta was the most motivated party here. It sounds like JetBlue wasn't keen on moving, since Delta is paying for their MAT changes and since JetBlue is moving back to Terminal B when it is rebuilt. I guess MAT isn't as great an asset as many of us supposed it to be, if Delt...
Jump to postThat makes no sense. Those are the 2 best gates in both C and D. Those are 2 of the 4 wide body capable gates. These gates used to be gates 1 and 3 and L1011's would frequent. The only downside to gate 1 is that it's a tow in gate. These gates are closest to food, the club and have the largest seati...
Jump to postIt doesn't make sense that Delta would give up a gate on D. These have always been their gates pre slot swap with US. Remember D only has 10 gates and within are the only 4 wide body capable. The D gates were built by DL in 1984, there is no way they will allow NK / F9. Also the C sky club is much s...
Jump to postWhat gates will NK / F9 have?
Jump to postI think you will see more AA retirees going for freighter conversion.

There is no point to speed up the Super 80 retirements. Remember the last batch from TWA are from 1999 and newer than some 738's
Jump to postThere is a huge O & D market from south Florida to LAX. AA is losing premium traffic to Mint. If the flights would be properly timed UA could compete for premium traffic.

With all that growth maybe LAX-MSP will come back.
I will miss those brown seats..... those were the last of a generation
Jump to postF could be considered Flagship First with Flagship Dining. It should be noted that service on this route has already been downgraded to standard domestic tray service and no longer Flagship service served on carts one course at a time.
Jump to postIt looks different here than the other routes you mentioned. I am logged in as an EXP and it still shows rows 13-15 blocked.
I have a feeling that AA will sell this as business since it's the same hard product as the 32B.
I find that hard to believe that AA won't sell the premium economy cabin and just give it away to elites.
Jump to postI am seeing rows 13-15 blocked out. These are premium economy......
Does this mean that AA will sell as a separate class of service?
Maybe premium economy will be the upgrade for 500 miles / systemwide.
The UA ORD - PBI add is a nice token. Lets hope it increases beyond the 1 daily E75. A morning flight north and evening flight south would give AA a run.
Jump to postUA seems to be doing far better these days on ORD-FLL than AA. A real turn of events from ten years ago when AA beefed up capacity and UA dropped the route to Ted and then pulled out altogether. NK in those days had a single daily. Now up to four or so. B6 single daily to my knowledge not yet a fac...
Jump to postWhere is AA sourcing the plane for LAX -PEK? Maybe the 777 returns on MIA -LAX?
If not B6 may be stocking up on gates in increase Mint from FLL

Jump to postThe unreliable 763's are the newest ones. Ships 342-350 built in 2003. Those also have high lease payments. AA should have refurbed the older ones (ships 351 -365)and returned these.

AA is still advertising 3 cabin transcontinental service from MIA - LAX for flagship dining, just go the email yesterday.
Jump to postAt least through December 14th...... but unlikely to return. I am hopeful the rumor that the 757's coming to that route is true.
Jump to postAre you referring to gate A1? It was last used by CO for their flights to CLE pre UA merger.
Jump to postAnyone know what registrations and tail numbers will be used? How many F Seats?
Jump to postMaybe a 772 comes back? They used to route the 772 to PVG after the 7am in from MIA.
Jump to postAA is really cutting back FLL / PBI. I think you will also see more legacy US once these changes are loaded.
Jump to postEven though AA has a large MIA operation, could the issue with the Miami Dolphins be that the team has historically flown out of FLL (which is also much closer to their training facility), requiring a repositioning flight for a widebody anyway? Yes! Last year I saw a 767 landing empty at FLL on Fri...

Jump to postI'd think AA would love to be out of FLL completely given all the LCC competition, somewhat but not entirely like UA bailing on JFK. In the case of FLL I doubt any corporate contracts are at stake though I could see that.... maybe with a small buildup of PBI. I could see PBI grow to the size of TPA...
Jump to postIt's been a slow but steady retreat from FLL by AA. In 2008 or 2009 flying to SJO, NAS, KIN etc were dropped. After the merger PHX was first dropped to a single daily then dropped outright. DCA , PHL and ORD flying have been reduced and now DCA cut. UA now offers more frequencies on FLL-ORD than AA...

So how do you square your opinion with the fact that they dropped it? I checked AA.com, its not an error its gone.
A few points: ships 935-942 were originally delivered to AW not US.
Of the 8 remaining legacy birds 2 of them 182 and 677 still have the classic 22F wide beige leather seats. The some of those have very low cycles since they have done LAX - Hawaii most of their life.

I'm not following this one. Can you explain?
It's time for AA to resume service to TLV (this time, via ORD with a 788) and to build up its code-share relationship with El Al. Doubt AA will pay that large amount owed from the TWA buyout to get back into TLV. Otherwise they would paid up & not have dropped the route before. That was settled...

United was extremely weak in Miami at the time of the merger. MIA-ORD was an Express route most of the year, and MIA-DEN ran seasonally during the summer. i can't recall if UA had ditched MIA-IAD yet, but if not, it was definitely Express only. No service to the hubs at LAX or SFO. During the hub d...
Jump to postAA would have a better shot on the ORD-ONT route is they change the timing. 8:30 pm west 11:59pm back isn't good.
Jump to postRepublic has a 6am MIA - LGA which returns 9:30. This is a E75

Jump to postThen AA will lose customers to JetBlue and potentially others. The problem on MIALAX will be fixed, and the solution is likely the new 757 fleet, which will be MIA-based. What others? UA? No. Delta? No. And FLL is not an option for those of us on a line from the Tuttle south. The reality is MIA-LAX...
Jump to postThe smart move would be to add the new United Coast service on SFO & LAX to MIA or FLL. Give AA a run for their money on this route as it goes 32b.
Jump to postThe 75's would make sense since the will be based in MIA until retirement. I didn't know that. Good for us here in MIA. :-) The only issue is these have no wifi and the retrofit didn't include IFE. They can get around the IFE with the Samsung tablets but the lack of wifi is an issue.
