That other airline based in ATL makes headlines with their 220s, 350s, new routes etc. and we can't even get our TLV service back!
Sad.

My wife and I were looking at going to LHR and wondering why there were 100-200 seats open on every flight...then I realized Vasu was so proud to report going all 777. Yikes. Gonna be tough to make money when over half the plane is empty.
I'm also concerned about Brexit.

I would be willing to bet we still make money on a half empty 777 JFK to LHR. Big bucks and many last minute business people. The flight my wife and I did was $9000 round trip each. Taxes are expensive coming out.

The service is really nice. We are the only airline in the US that still has the super fancy service. Like our transcon service from JFK in the A321T. Easy to put on weight on these flights.

Yeah, the front part of the jet pays the freight. The main cabin is gravy. (Assuming business/first are revenue).
Heck, even the PHX LHR flights are running full. It’s a big market for us.
F/As (when you get the old school crews) do a great job with the service but they constantly tell me how it used to be better. I don’t eat the meals on the -200 because the food just isn’t that good. The true first class meals on the -300 are really good.
