It was pure uneducated anger about the LUS/LAWA situation. And that rumor permeated so high that many believed it and many thought it true when PHX drew down staffing levels after the SLI. So much so they Parker and Isom were asked countless time about it, from crew news to investors, that they had/have to endless say PHX is an important hub for the system.
Good for CLT getting international, but they have lost some too, AND, the 737 is just as invasive in CLT as PHX. Saying cause you fly through PHX more is short sighted. Maybe your 737 base covers PHX more while another 737 base covers CLT more.
And yes, a 777 to London is a big deal for PHX. It obviously indicates a small international market is needed there. Regardless of which base is flying it. It would kinda be dumb to start flying to a major international city in a base you plan to shrink or close.
And you’d still be wrong. We have ways to see where planes fly and what types. You are again incorrect about the 737 in PHX and CLT. It’s fairly easy to see and do the math. Company website shows total departures at an airport. Able to sort it out and see easily more 737 in PHX then CLT.
CLT has lost Brazil? However I’m not sure what else you are referring to them losing. Again just keep the facts right because when you throw BS pre US Airways merger stuff into an AA thread it totally disregards your credibility and facts you had presented correctly about PHX.
No one cares about pre merger AA or TWA or AWA and LUS. They care about the now mergered AA.
