My “guess/hope” is that they would start to bring the nice new medal in before the busy summer travel season of 2020?

Medal? Metal? Carbon fiber?

Exactly. Very important difference.

50 plus domestic sequences on the 787 ORD sheet. Whats up with that? Less than ideal flying for a long range aircraft unless there is nowhere to use them. 767 replacements I can see, but ORD-SFO?
Maybe just a winter decrease but I thought international was less susceptible to that. Probably a result of the cancelled China flying. Cost cutting in action IMO.

A lot of training on these routes.

The plane is tremendously flexible and efficient at both (long and Medium). That's why many operators love it.

That’s normal.... Parker and company have done this for years on the 330 and 767 fleet. Very normal. Better we use the plane then not. They constantly hate seeing how AA sat 777s around all day to then work a flight 15-20 hours later. A plane not flying isn’t making money. SFO and big markets make a ton of sense and I’m glad to see it. We’ve been doing an A330 PHL SFO for a while. Much like DFW SFO has had an 787. Use the planes where they are needed during winter slow time.

Not really..inside of six-eight hours the 767-300 is better.

But...we already have the planes so at this point, if it's profitable...who cares...but I can already see C&R *****ing about flying it "domestically...*shudder*".
