We also had some strange fleet allocation in Dallas. Flying the L1011 back at Mach 1 (or close enough as to not be a significant difference) to ATL was fun, but had to have been a high cost operation.

So how long until we buy Hawaiian? 767-300 ER's, Haneda slot, 717's, base right in the middle of the Pacific, its' competition is withering and the operation is profitable.

Anyone realize the Philippine Airlines all had IATA safety restrictions which denied them the ability to serve the EU and parts of Asia. PAL is planning aggressive growth to the US West Coast. Seems like we preemptively could throw a 767 SEA-MNL, PDX-MNL or LAX-MNL, or maybe even service to Cebu. Or come at it from the Amsterdam side.

Anyone know why we don't fly NRT-AMS? Talked to a Platinum Miler who flies us to NRT and then picks up another airline on the return flight. Much easier on the body to chase the sun around the planet than to do it the other way.
