FAQ

WHAT IS THIS REPORT?
This compares what is for sale THIS WEEK for the stated period versus what was for sale LAST WEEK...It does NOT compare to last year or now (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED).

HOW DO I READ IT?
XXX-YYY DEC 4>5 JAN 4>5 ; means that the listed airline changed the frequency between the two airports to add from 4 to 5 roundtrips in December and January. No other months were changed. I only list one direction, although it is possible the listed change is only one way. It is too difficult to average the two directions. I assume the change is roundtrip and that is most often the case.

HOW ARE THE DAILY DEPARTURES CALCULATED?
This report uses total operations for the month listed, divided over the days in the month.

WHAT ARE THE FRACTIONAL FLIGHTS?
Flights that do not operate every day of the month create fractional service. In most cases flights are rounded, but in the case of international service or markets with low frequency, fractions are shown. For example, if a flight operates 4 times in April it will show 4/30=0.133=0.1. Also , a flight that only operates once per week may vary between 0.1 and 0.2 because a weekday may repeat either 4 or 5 times depending on the month.

WHAT ABOUT CARRIERS THAT DON'T PUBLISH A SCHEDULE 9 MONTHS IN ADVANCE?
Most airlines publish schedules 11 months in advance. This report covers the next 9 months. That avoids seeing schedules as they are loaded. Several LCCs load their schedules less than 9 months into the future. I remove the schedule adds if I see them and show a year over year (YOY) comparison if I notice them.

THOSE FLIGHTS AREN'T DELTA, THEY ARE SKYWEST
This report only shows the marketing code. It is too complicated to show all the operators.

THE FREQUENCIES MAY HAVE CHANGED AS YOU SHOW, BUT THE SEATS DIDNT CHANGE BECAUSE OF EQUIPMENT SWAPS
That is a natural weakness of a frequency based report, but it provides something to discuss below.

THIS LOOKS LIKE AN ERROR?
The carriers file the schedules. They do make mistakes. Most of the mistakes I have seen are either related to code shares not being marked as "duplicates" or carriers filing flights with invalid data such as equipment codes that are not standard. This causes flights to not appear.

CHARTERS?
Lately charters have been showing up in the database. I have no idea if that will continue.

I marked some of the ones I thought were interesting with an "*".

VX YOY Schedule
These are the changes thus far to the VX schedule vs the prior year. They just reiterated that they are not taking any more planes this year in their earnings release. It looks to me like even the SJC closure only keeps them even vs. the prior year. They have not dropped what is needed to fund the slots they have acquired. Curious...

1x 319? Really that is all the connections that MEM has out West? I know its a slower time but still you would think there would be more people heading out west from a former hub.

Quoting AVENSAB727 (Reply 4):

It's about time! I can definitely see 789 on this route as it continues to grow.

Quoting enilria (Reply 2): Is that a big capacity jump? Seems like a lot of seats.

The summer schedule on JFK-BOS is showing 4x 319 + 2x CR9 (656 seats) so going to 6x 717 (660 seats) is essentially capacity neutral. The spring schedule is 7x CR9 though (532 seats). The 717 is a much better suited aircraft for this type of route than the A319 and a mainline aircraft versus a CR9 will allow for storage of rollerboards in the overhead bins.

Quoting slcdeltarumd11 (Reply 5): 1x 319? Really that is all the connections that MEM has out West? I know its a slower time but still you would think there would be more people heading out west from a former hub.

Its only 1x per day right now and has been scheduled at 1x per day for the summer. Not sure why the advanced fall schedule was originally showing 2x, but that really just a continuation of the status quo.

DL doesn't care about the westbound connections as much, if they can flow them over ATL or MSP. AA via DFW offers a much more adventageous schedule to west coast markets.

I suspect there will be more and more CR7/CR9 flying at DFW in the years to come. As flying at other, more competitive hubs - like ORD - transitioning to the superior product offered by the E175, thus freeing up some CR7s, and more new CR9s flow into the AA network, I suspect there are lots of longer and/or more premium ERJ145 markets - CVG, CID, CHS, SAV, GRR, FWA, MSN, etc. - that will move to larger, 2-class RJs.

Quoting FWAERJ (Reply 22): Was FWA the last one? It's probably the longest DFW ER4 route left.

No. There are still multiple longer DFW ERJ145 routes left, including GRR, CRW and FAR.

Very nice and refreshing to see AA add a flight out of SJC for a change. We haven't seen 3x ORD in quite some time.

Quoting enilria (Reply 24): They will get picked off. Somebody will fly them, but not UA. They are barely flying IAD-Florida!

I don't think the two are comparable. The overwhelming demand to Florida is out of DCA. Domestic inside-perimeter O&D is almost nonexistent at ex-IAD compared to DCA.

If UA leaves CLE-TPA/RSW/MCO, etc., it will be because the station is being totally reduced to a spoke, without any additional service outside of the hubs. For now, the plan is to maintain service to major O&D markets, a category for which Florida certainly qualifies.

Quoting codc10 (Reply 26): If UA leaves CLE-TPA/RSW/MCO, etc., it will be because the station is being totally reduced to a spoke

Yes. And indeed I think that's exactly what many are expecting and intimating.

Quoting codc10 (Reply 26): For now, the plan is to maintain service to major O&D markets, a category for which Florida certainly qualifies.

Okay, but the is that, for a market where United has already dramatically reduced its presence, Florida tends to be among the markets easiest for a competitor - especially a lower-cost and/or lower-fare competition - to surgically pick off from United. Put another way: if Southwest were to put just 1-2 daily 737s into any or all of these markets, I am highly skeptical that United would fight them for these routes or just hang it up. BOS is a slightly different dynamic because it definitely does have a business component for which United should be a more viable competitor, but there too, I am not sure that if JetBlue were to come in with 3-4 daily EMB190s or A320s, United wouldn't just cut it.

Quoting codc10 (Reply 26): If UA leaves CLE-TPA/RSW/MCO, etc., it will be because the station is being totally reduced to a spoke, without any additional service outside of the hubs

Quoting commavia (Reply 27): Yes. And indeed I think that's exactly what many are expecting and intimating.

I think UA failed to anticipate the alacrity with which other airlines are moving to fill the gap in CLE. In addition to the added DFW flight in July, AA will upgrade four of six CLE-ORD flights to E75's from 50 seaters.

I guess WN wins.

Quoting c172akula (Reply 10): Any insight as to why AC Rouge is reducing YYC/YVR-LAX for the summer?

The E190s were right-sized for both LAX and SAN.

How did Rouge get in on this?

Quoting FWAERJ (Reply 22): Was FWA the last one? It's probably the longest DFW ER4 route left.

Looking at the other routes, distance clearly isn't the only deciding factor.

Quoting commavia (Reply 23): No. There are still multiple longer DFW ERJ145 routes left, including GRR, CRW and FAR.

CRW actually has a CRJ-200, and like I said earlier, the weight restrictions can get ugly from what I've heard.

Quoting enilria (Thread starter): US CLT-AGS MAY 7>6

In the past this has mainly been a CRJ2-heavy route, with an occasional 1x daily DH8C...looking at random days in May: 4x DH8C, 2x CRJ2. Not sure which is worse torture.

Quoting commavia (Reply 23): I suspect there will be more and more CR7/CR9 flying at DFW in the years to come. As flying at other, more competitive hubs - like ORD - transitioning to the superior product offered by the E175, thus freeing up some CR7s, and more new CR9s flow into the AA network, I suspect there are lots of longer and/or more premium ERJ145 markets - CVG, CID, CHS, SAV, GRR, FWA, MSN, etc. - that will move to larger, 2-class RJs.

I agree and hopefully we will see upgrades at some point on some or all of these routes. DL has really done a good job of offering two class flights to many of its destinations.

Quoting southsky (Reply 29): DFW-MOB has one CR7 starting in July.

DFW-PNS is even getting a couple M80s, glad to see some mainline going in there!

It would be nice to see GPT get some CR7 love from DFW.

Quoting dsuairptman (Reply 35): It would be nice to see GPT get some CR7 love from DFW.

With 4x daily, you have to expect they would be coming shortly.

Quoting southsky (Reply 36): With 4x daily, you have to expect they would be coming shortly.

I would think so too...between DFW & CLT AA will be pretty big in the south and to keep competitive with DL I would think they would need to offer a competitive product.

Quoting enilria (Thread starter): AA ORD-GRR JUL 6>7 AUG 6>7 SEP 6>7 OCT 6>7, AA ORD-RNO JUL 1.0>2, AA ORD-SAN JUL 4>5, AA ORD-SJC JUL 2>3

Chicago is getting lots of love with the ERJ 175s and a nice bump in frequencies   

Quoting PSU.DTW.SCE (Reply 1): 2x CRJ + 1x CR9 + 2x M88 becoming 2x CR7 + 2x M88

While trying to keep capacity close to current, GPT could support 6X daily to ATL with AC/schedules much like VPS/PNS. I hope to see that type of increase in the near future.

Quoting point2point (Reply 21): DL must really not care at all what happens to MEM?

From the moment they got their merger done with NW. DL had no intention on keeping any non hub flying at MEM. IMO.

Quoting PHX787 (Reply 9): This is strange, I always thought MH was flying this route already.

It was reported here on A.net that MH was going to end their LAX flight, a flooded NRT-LAX market was one reason.

Quoting kgaiflyer (Reply 31): How did Rouge get in on this?

Rouge is taking on routes out of YVR & YYC in this thread ... Air Canada Rouge Expands To Western Canada (by catII Mar 25 2014 in Civil Aviation)

Quoting enilria (Thread starter): This seems like a close in change. Eqp still shows a 77W. *EY JFK-AUH APR 2>1.1 MAY 2>1.0 JUN 2>1.0 JUL 2>1.0 AUG 2>1.0 SEP 2>1.0 OCT 2>1.0 NOV 2>1.0

So which flight is cancelled? Is it shifted to 9W?

Quoting jetblue1965 (Reply 41):

Must be a filing error. EY website still shows EY 100-101 and EY 102-103 on their reservation pages for all dates in 2014. The flights 102/103 are with 9W metal, but operated by EY crew. Anyone correct me if I am wrong.

Quoting codc10 (Reply 26): I don't think the two are comparable. The overwhelming demand to Florida is out of DCA. Domestic inside-perimeter O&D is almost nonexistent at ex-IAD compared to DCA.

Quoting codc10 (Reply 26): If UA leaves CLE-TPA/RSW/MCO, etc., it will be because the station is being totally reduced to a spoke, without any additional service outside of the hubs

Quoting commavia (Reply 27): Yes. And indeed I think that's exactly what many are expecting and intimating.

OK, I'm going to weigh in on the IAD vs DCA vs CLE issue.

The situation is exactly the same. Here's why. There's plenty of people living near IAD. The issue isn't that people only want to fly to Florida from DCA and not IAD. The problem is that UA does not care to match the LCC fares at DCA so the market disappears and leaves for DCA. They don't care to match because they don't see Florida as strategic enough to justify losing money. Same will happen in CLE in spades. The reason there are no LCCs left flying IAD-Florida is that they all got into DCA and there's nobody left really who needs a way to fly there from WAS. Additionally, I'm not sure it is really any cheaper to operate from IAD vs. DCA so there isn't a cost reason to be there. I'd guess BWI is cheaper than either DCA or IAD which is why NK is there.

If a start-up came into IAD-Florida they would do fine, but the DCA carriers have no reason to do it and UA doesn't for the reasons stated.

Quoting kgaiflyer (Reply 30): I guess WN wins.

Was there a doubt? RJs vs. WN is a death sentence. I wonder if the way CLE is playing out has any effect on WN's decision CAK vs. CLE. UA is kind of folding everything, but F9 is building up...

Can't see which flight. It's possible they just switched the equipment to an invalid equipment code by mistake. I've seen that before. The fact it is so close in is odd.

Quoting enilria (Reply 43): OK, I'm going to weigh in on the IAD vs DCA vs CLE issue.

   IAD traffic boomed when Indy Air was setting the prices; that (domestic) traffic is melting away at UA's fare levels.

It would be nice to see some of our CRJ/ER4 MKE-DFW see larger CRJs mixing into the schedule early next year. These midday flights bookended by morning and evening MD80s seem to be going out full most days of the week. We're currently sitting at 2 x daily MD80 and 2 x daily CRJ/ER4 going up to 2 x MD80/3 x ER4 in early June.
