Soooo...that many people from Paris actually want to come to Pittsburgh? Or the few remaining people in PIT need a flight to PAris?

Which is it?


I think that the flight will be filled up with local conxn traffic flown into PIT. Most likely traffic that would have been flown into another congested east coast hub mixed with some pit traffic as well.
 
Seems like Delta wants to keep the seats out of the domestic supply so they are experimenting with non-hub point to point routes and sharing the risk with AF.

Beats parking the seats in the desert, but it seems there would be better routes such as BDL-CDG or even BUF-CVG and siphon off YYZ traffic from AC.

Either way, this is good for the Delta pilots so I hope it works out.

There will be a lot of new routes coming up, and it really is amazing. We got a lot of used ETOP 757s from AA (17 actually), and we have moved them around to find good fits. We also are getting new 737-700s for Central America and new flights to Manaus, Brazil. Throw in some new 777s coming early next year, and the 757s NWA uses now intra Asia for possible new European cities, and it really is crazy. Also, we will address the domestic feed shortly, with some new (or used) equipment that will add to it. More to follow.....

Look for more of these 757's if they can get their hands on them.

These will not be domestic jets. They will be pull from some near Europe service.

t really is amazing general. thed world economy sucks, credit markets are frozen but you guys want to fly to europe, have fun Big G!
 
Watch, I would venture to guess that DAL will pull down European service where we do not have a steady feed from a code share.
 
Good for DL in taking a page from NWA and connecting medium sized US markets with their hubs overseas. Too bad fuel killed BDL-AMS.
 
ACL65 - why do you doubt Roswell? NWA operated a 757 between BDL-AMS. BDL is the perfect market for that since most in the BDL catchment area were driving to NY or BOS. The corporate contracts alone kept the biz class cabin full. Loads were good in the summer and OK in the winter/spring. Had fuel not done what it did, I bet the route would still be going.

They launched with the same backing from the city that PIT and RDU are providing. AMS is a far better connection point in Europe than CDG, though CDG is improving rapidly now that E and S3 and G are open.

I know it's hard for you DL guys to believe NWA might have actually known what the heck they were doing, but their JV with KL is the envy of the industry... so much so DL and AF wanted to join them... and have. Now they're one big happy family across the pond sharing revenue and passengers.
