EOS 757s

[Borescope]

We used to have 24F seats on the 757s at US prior to the AWA merger ourselves - and they were always full. But then Tempe started using the East 757s exclusively for low yield, high capacity runs and wanted to cram more seats into coach and make it a cattle car (which they certainly succeeded in doing), so FC was practically removed for the aircraft altogether. Not saying I agree with that decision, but that's Tempe's explanation for it.

The seats on the 757 East side were reduced under Siegel, way before the merger.

This is not justifying any of Tempe's actions, but the reduction of First Class seats on the East 757s from 24 to EIGHT (more like a slaughter than a reduction, if you ask me) and the remarketing of the aircraft type to low-yield markets like Las Vegas and Orlando was done prior to the merger. You can blame the ghosts of the Crystal Palace for that one and then blame the Sandcastle for everything else!

You're right. Thanks for the clarification on that one. "The Crystal Palace." Now there's a term that hasn't reared its ugly head in a while (thank goodness)!

Why would US want EOS 757s? They have nice seats, thus don't fit in the US fleet.



I think you're right, US, DL and CO are well discussed. NW does BDL-AMS. IAD's position further south hurts it for 752 TATL ops but it should be able to handle Ireland/the UK if UA wanted to. The longest 752 route for UA I believe is Saturday only DEN-LIH which comes and goes between a 752 and a 763.

Delta is going to fly CVG - AMS this Summer on 757-200ER's , CO is using it as well on EWR-ARN route sometimes . First Choice is flying Glasgow Orlando on 757 .......

Out of curiosity, was anyone crossing the Atlantic with 757s before the former UK charter operator Air Europe in 1988/9?

 

[etops1]

i think the first us carrier that flew the 757 between the states and europe was twa. from jfk-lis. someone correct me if i am wrong.

And, wasn't Iceland Air the first to fly the 752 across the pond into BWI? Not sure -- just fact checking. Thanks.

When did AA first try JFK-STN with the 757?

Iceland to BWI, you could fly a 737-300.

I think JFK-STN has always been a B763, no?

AA started about 2 years ago flying BOS-MAN and maybe BOS-DUB...but I could be wrong on that. Definitely BOS-MAN, though.

You are correct. I don't believe they are doing it anymore though.
