787-10 international routes
https://www.usatoday.com/story/trave...es/1998789002/
It will be interesting to see what they do with the planes that were flying those routes. Looks like 4 trips on the 777 and 2 on the 767 are being replaced. The new international allocation chart should be out soon and we should find out then.

the 777 and 767s can be absorbed with the Polaris upgrades, at least that is my guess. Also IAD-TLV starts with the 777 in the spring.

How about resuming the SEA-NRT and taking it back from our Star Alliance partner ANA?

I’m just glad to see things moving in a positive direction. The post 9/11, lost decade, age 65, merger, SLI.... business was getting old. New deliveries, hiring, upgrading the fleet to provide a better product are all promising. I know that it can all change overnight, again, but I’m going to put my feet up and enjoy this little ray of sunshine.
Good point about needing hulls while others go into the shop for cabin upgrades. Hopefully this will allow progress to continue.

That one NRT departure kept SEA on life support for a while, but the company certainly won't want to bring it back from the dead just for that. This is the very reason the Death Star exists.

Keep in mind that SEA-NRT is not just “Star Aliiance” as UAL and ANA have a Joint Venture (JV) that covers the North Pacific.
Within the JV revenues, expenses, and profits are split regardless of the color of the airplane. I hate to say it, but it probably makes a strong business sense to have ANA operate the city pair in the absence of a UA 777 base in SEA. (The idiotic UA abandonment of SEA in the first place is a whole different can of worms.)
