We USED to have EWR Trans Pacific……but of course politics…or rather geo politics……….but I find it interesting that the elimination of such a cash cow and generator of seniority for both inflight and flight has largely just been normalized and treated with apathy.

Trans-Pac went away out of EWR because overflying Russia isn’t allowed….. Once that is allowed Trans-PAC will makes its way back to the EWR/IAD/ORD….

Look I want WB growth and I would love to see it in IAH. But if it it’s better in SFO then put it in SFO.

I want the airline to make money flying our metal.

don see the rest of the wurl…it’s actually Pidgeon English vernacular. A common lingua Franca in West Africa. You see this company’s first flight to Africa was actually out of IAH (Lagos Nigeria 🇳🇬 for the fact checkers) . I’m using that as a backhanded comment to counteract this idea that for so many liberal “educated” among us the “World”…really only seems to mean Canada,Australia and Western Europe. 😉

it’s pidgin and no that’s not what you were doing….but good head fake.

Since you edited your post…… The first flight to LOS out of IAH was because of the fence on the 787 and it was pre SLI. There was some oil contracts that filled first class but the rest of the flight was not a money maker.

you see (for the fact checkers out there) LOS was NOT United’s first flight to Africa.

where did I say it didn’t count? United Airlines operated to Africa before the merger even back to the 90’s…..so it is factually incorrect to say that “this company’s” first flight to Africa was IAH-LOS.

United operated to ACC with a tag to LOS out of IAD.

there may havebeeen more in the past but I know that existed pre merger.

I don’t live in Texas nor am I from Texas I just call out hypocrites when I see them. Not one single person on this thread said anything negative about IAH or Texas.
