As in we're only getting 8 or something else?

 

They are disappointed at the destinations added.

 

Post of the day

 

Not doubting you, but do you have a source for my own information?

 

Curious too, last quarterly report even showed 8 this year and 4 next year.

 

I mean hey, if it makes us the most money. LA and SA is the one single area in the world we dominate right now. I don't want to give that up just to be 3rd place everywhere.

 

Yup, we can't afford to lose any more markets. It's ridiculous how much we've given up in LAX, NYC, ORD. Management should be spending 24/7 figuring out how to get that market share back. And maybe more importantly, figuring out why we lost it in the first place.

 

That news has been floating around the training center.

The 4 we are getting in the next two months were supposed to have come last year but have been sitting in Charleston waiting on the first class doors to be certified by the faa. So in a way the plan for 8 in 2025 was/is correct but the 4 from last year still haven't come.

Now the bad news, Supposedly we also lose the use of the crew rest bunk jump seat for jump seaters. So we go down to only being able to have 2 jump seaters domestically vs. the 3 currently allowed when you're un-augmented, 1 j/s when there are three pilots and 0 when there are 4 pilots. So all the people who like to risk the J/s to Japan watch out, it might get you left behind.

I get it but it just feels like this company can only add a certain amount of new cities and then just add more frequency. If I read that announcement right at our peak we're doing 7 flights a day to Buenos Aires and 6 to Sao Paulo? Are those really the most profitable cities?

Why not maintain year round service to Australia or god forbid launch some new Asian destinations.

 

The new 787 deliveries won't have the Overhead Flight Crew Rest (OFCR) occupiable for takeoff and landing??

 

Nope. Apparently the FAA said because the doors in the business class suite can close it would be a hazard for the drop-down escape hatch and would cause an obstacle to escape.
