So far with this announcement AA management has changed the SEA LAX schedule from all RJs to the current 1 A319 and 3RJs to 4 mainline jets and 1 RJ. So that’s a plus. As a soon to be SEA to LAX commuter I’m pretty happy. Throw in LAX crews flying the 777 flight to LHR and I’m set for the duration.
This will be good for both pilot groups. If the AA international flights do well then more flights will be added to compete with Delta. And that’s the name of the game.
