Do you really think American could compete with 3 times weekly (what they’re offering out of DFW) out of JFK with twice daily Delta, El Al, twice daily United out of Newark plus El Al there?

I've been to Krakow.... great place to visit, but hard to believe it could support direct US flights....

It's a foothold in Africa for AA. Plus they already have a partnership with Royal Air Maroc for flights connecting in Casablanca. But DFW-TLV doesn't make much sense...I would have thought JFK or PHL for sure.

TWA had a good JFK-Cairo route. It ended on 9/11/2001.

LOT Polish Airlines ran that route for a couple years between the US on a 767 before privatization.

Kind of a doozy announcement, sorry.



Was expecting Oceania, more Asia, etc...stuff that requires more jets and pilots. Maybe its coming down the pipe.

This was before our time but there was a time in the 80's when AA was firing on all cylinders. Seemed like every year they were announcing a major order for new (not replacement) aircraft.



I mean this announcement is cool and all but doesn't really seem to do a lot for hiring. I think that was all his point is.



But, still cool. I really hope these destinations stick. More successful destinations and they might start ordering more aircraft. Who knows. Doug hasn't presided over an expanding airline, really, ever. From CEO at AWA just prior to 9/11, he's had a rough two decades.

Yea but in this day and age with JVs, codeshares, trumps recent support of the me3, rapid domestic ulcc expansion, etc its good for us to really just hang on to what we have. It could be so much worse.

A rough two decades?! He holds about $80 million in AA stock and runs one of the largest airlines in the world. I wish my idea of a rough 20 years was only 80 mill

We had it at TWA, as well; the problem was, it was a low-yield route, like Hawaii was. No one pays full fare to go there.

Hope you enjoy your 72 hr. layover in Casablanca. Plenty to do in the Casba.:)

That would be ‘Casbah’. You can Rock the Casbah.

And remember, for special friends of Rick, there is a special price-just for you, my friend.
