US Airways pax can go nonstop to middle east
From PHL. Via codesharing and Qatar Airways.
Its going to be super great when every international route is flown by some foreign airline using big ol widebodies they got on the cheap from Boeing and loopholes that all of us pilots left in our scope allowing for codesharing.
There goes any middle east growth that the new American could probably have expected.
Qatar Airways to make Philadelphia its 5th U.S. city

US airlines used to be in the Middle East. Now except Delta to Dubai and United to Dubai/Kuwait/Bahrain, there are no US airlines serving the Middle East. Let's face it, if US Airways wanted to serve he middle east out of PHL or CLT, they would have already.

US Airways to the middle east? Nah, probably not.
The new American serving the middle east? Seems like it'd be a given. Biggest airline in the world, strongest on the east coast, and plenty of markets to expand into, you'd think that it'd be on the short list. Well, until it gets outsourced to Qatar.

Doubtful about AA... they've done little other than pull out of international destinations over the last 10 years. The combined US/AA would have enough oomph and feed to do more niche international flying, but US has given that away.
