Regional airlines are doomed!

Delta also has a pilot with multiple personality disorder.

I believe Delta does have 12 day Asia Trips.

Are they not ex-northwest trips usually done on an airbus or the 747 and not the 767? I have seen multiple Delta A330, 777, 747 all over Asia but typically not the 767.

That was the past. Bye Bye---General Lee

OMG! This is really hilarious, GL back. But you are correct scope could possibly be reined in by DAL pilots, but what AA does with their scope may prove to be interesting and punch a hole into DAL pilots desire to control scope. Hope not, I'm ready to move on as are many in the regionals. Oh have a fantasic day General!

I dont know about the 767. They might be doing what the 757 and the baby buses use to do at NWA, In and out of Narita(hubbing).

No, we have a large 757/767 operation in NRT, with 757s doing "interport" service within a 5 hour radius, including Guam, Saipan, Korror (Palau), Seoul, and Pusan. 767s go to Beijing, Shanghai(this month), Hong Kong(this month), Honolulu, and SFO/PDX. There are also nonstops on the 767 from HNL to Nagoya and Fukuoka, and SEA to Beijing and Osaka. Yes, the 744s, 777s, and A330s also fly other routes over there, but the 757/767 flying is quite extensive, routing trips initially and ending trips via SFO/PDX for ATL pilots.


Sorry for the thread creep, just responding to a question.

Thanks, you too. I haven't heard any request for scope easing, and with the strong profits I don't expect it. AMR had a lot less 70 seaters, which I expect them to get more, but at the same time dump less efficient E135s and E140s. It may be a wash in terms of numbers, but the larger RJs will increase, IMO. I don't think even the judge would go for even larger RJs, probably looking at peer airlines as a baseline.

So general, Do you only shoot for one suspension at any given time or do you have a third personality that allows you to still exist after two?

Off topic I know, but I'm curious.

Oys?GL? and probally another one or three!

 

[SLUF4]

there are actually some asian trips on the 7ER that are 10 days or greater. not that this helps your topic at all

 

[FishandFly]

It will be interesting to see what the moderator thinks about this post of yours. It sure isn't very nice. Three personalities? Only around my wife, and she likes all three.


Bye Bye----General Lee

Yeah... Addressing the fact that you use multiple screen names is ruthless.

I especially like the consistency of your history of posts where you will actually compliment what you yourself just said...

Gen Lee: Here's what I think
3 minutes later: OYS: That's a very intuitive thought GL.

Brilliant.

General Lee adds educational, informational, and entertainment value to this forum. You might not like what he says, but he is usually right. He brings levity to the table, and all of you hang on to every word that he writes, even the prepositions. He's quick on his toes, and is not easily bested. He is one of the most interesting men in the world. He doesn't drink beer often, but when he does, he prefers Dos Equis! Stay thirsty my friend!

You are so lost. The reason you don't hear anything is because its a given, like breathing.


RJ size at all the airlines is just going to get bigger and bigger.

I think I would look nice sitting in a new MD or 737

................................introducing new 737 RJ service to Valdosta. Everybody gets "Lay Flat Seating" on our new, larger, 50 seat jet. Think how well rested you'll be on that 30 minute flight from Atlanta to L.A. (Lower Alabama).
