FWAAA said:Given the relaxation of restrictions in the USA-Mexico bilateral that take effect next January, what significance is there to the DOT limiting AA's exemption authority in this case to just one year and not the two years that AA requested?
Historically, FDF and PTP were Eagle service. It's been a while since I paid attention to the Caribbean, but with the drawdown of 50 seaters, it looks like they got upgraded to mainline temporarily vs. cutting them out until the E-jets were able to step in.MAH4546 said:You are right, American is sending ERJ-175s to the Caribbean. To Fort de France, 6 weekly ERJ-175s replaces 2 weekly 737-800s. To Pointe Pitre, one weekly ERJ-175 compliments the existing one weekly 737-800. In other every case, the ERJ-175 replaces the ERJ-145 (La Romana, Bahamas flying). AA is also adding mainline to Miami-Nassau. No mainline flying is being discontinued except for MIA-FDF, but AA is tripling frequency in that market.
AA this summer will offer 19w LAXSJD (160/flight), 14w LAXMEX (160/flight) and 7w LAXGDL (128/flight), more capacity than any U.S. carrier between Los Angeles and Mexico. That is 6,176/week, or an average of ~883.
Ok, keep calling me by a different screen name and then stop reporting me to the mods for calling you WORLD FRAUDSTER.WorldTraveler said:I will quote whatever current DOT stats are available. 4th quarter 2014 stats will be released soon... they will be the most recent available.
and schedule data is available for analysis as soon as it is loaded in the GDSs.
and since 693 hasn't figured it out, schedules are compared on a year over basis because no one really cares about how much has been cut from August to September each year but they do care about how much is cut or added in Sept. 2015 compared to 2014.
and you missed the point that even with the most current schedules AND adding in the seats that AA will offer with two LAX-MEX flights, AA's int'l capacity from LAX will still put it in the #3 position at LAX, behind DL and AC but finally moving ahead of UA.
