MIA-LAX widebodies reduced

[WorldTraveler]

and spring and fall happen EVERY YEAR.

all you have to do to prove your argument is to show the reduction of widebody flying to this level has happened before.

and if you or someone else wants to argue that the merger provides a different situation this year, then AA has to face the possibility that other carriers will start service in key AA markets if AA doesn't maintain a level of service that the market demands.

It absolutely has happened before. AA has in the past operated only one widebody turn - the 777 AM to LAX/afternoon from LAX - during certain periods in the past. This is no different. AA will be operating only the 777 turn for ~10 weeks. 
 
January-March is one of the busiest periods for travel to deep South America, and AA has less flexibility to use long-haul planes on a route like MIALAX when so many are sitting in the southern Hemisphere between redeye turns.
 
Historically, AA has the most widebody-heavy schedules on MIA-LAX during off-peak, like five daily widebodies in April/May 2013. Not surprisingly, this coincides with the draw down in peak South America flying. 
 
As I stated already, effective March 29th, AA will introduce a second daily 777 turns and re-introduce a 763 turn.

 

[WorldTraveler]

just the historical schedules and your point is made.

 

[jcw]

However this is a multiple trend here back on the tread about transatlic schedules you were blasting AA for winter schedules - when you look at back at historical schedules what are are flying this winter looks consistent with other winter schedules

So unless you know directly from scheduling that a dramatic shift has been made in a route you should not make up the histerical rants about AA

If you even close to think your answer is accurate, give us a history of AA's widebody capacity in the MIA-LAX market for the past 5 years.

Did AA employees not get vacation or AA didn't do overhauls before?

No thanks. You can do your own homework. AA has historically dropped widebody capacity in the fall and winter to get MBV's and Light C's done outside of peak season.

Further, running domestic widebodies outside of JFK-LAX/SFO is something AA hasn't done regularly since the DC10's were retired.

At best, something running as a domestic widebody is just a SPA spotter disguised as a revenue flight. The 777s which used to operate on DFW-ORD-DFW were intended to cover the DFWNRT flights in the morning, and the afternoon ORDLHR flights. It was MD11 before that, and a 762 before that.

 

[WorldTraveler]

sorry but a look at the facts shows that AA has indeed run 3 widebody aircraft on MIA-LAX for the last several years.

The MIA-west coast flying isn't just filling a hole.

Because of the nature of MIA-S. America flights, there are plenty of widebody aircraft available during the day.

and, jcw, nowhere is it more apparent that you don't get what I have been saying when you say that I blasted AA for reducing TATL schedules. I have repeatedly said that the problem was that AA was starting new routes which weren't delivering sufficient revenue and CANCELLING the flights was the right thing to do - and proof of my assertions.

and thank you again for proving that the culture of this board is to attack someone because they bring facts that you don't want to hear and in fact prove wrong the statements that people here made.

AA has indeed operated multiple widebody flights from MIA-LAX during the northern winter.

Despite all of the arguments that some people tried to make, the OP was correct that AA has reduced the number of widebodies.

now are you and they willing to discuss the real reasons which I submit is because AA is trying to reduce capacity between MIA and LAX? in fact, the number of seats that AA is offering is down approx. 7% over the winter and despite competitive carrier additions, the market is still down in terms of total capacity.

 

[robbedagain]

its not like you have never attacked posters for everything else  and its also not like you don't always use facts either

The culture of this board is to attack somebody when they bring up either outright lies, fabrications, exaggerations or conclusions without any proof to back them up
 
Repeating the same falsehoods numerous times, even after you have been corrected (often numerous times too) really does nothing for your credibility. 
 
And it isn't just this topic or this airline forum.  It happens on a regular basis on every airline board in almost every thread.
 
This post above is a perfect example.  You have been told / shown several times that the reduction is temporary, even provided the reason(s) for it.  Instead of accepting the facts, you continue to post drivel over and over and over again.  I know you can grasp the English language.  Unfortunately you are so blinded by your psychopathic obsession of DL (which is a good airline BTW) and driven by your outright hate and fear of AA that you chose to ignore reality and instead substitute to live in your own faulty, imaginary, twisted world.  Get some help dude.

 

[WorldTraveler]

and can you tell me why you think that attacking someone's PERSON will lead to instead of correct their facts?

Your mindset is precisely why so many people on this board are miserable with it.

specific to this topic, there are multiple people who have tried to argue that AA reduces its capacity during the winter and used multiple reasons.

In fact, AA has operated 3 or more widebody flights from MIA-LAX.

What they said is factually incorrect.

If you find it twisted because someone points out the facts, whether you want to hear them or not, then you will spend a whole lot of time in your life miserable.

there are black and white facts in life. AA's historical schedule is one of them. It makes no difference how long the schedule will last. AA will offer approx. 7% fewer seats between LAX and MIA during the winter.


Instead of continuing to attack people for telling you what you clearly don't want to hear but is as obvious as day and nite, how about you and others learn to admit that someone else might have information which you don't and they are accurate in using them.

the OP's observation is correct.

now, again, what is your response to THAT factual observation?

 

[eolesen]

Whatever, WT.

Perhaps you were a silent participant on the weekly Ken Cunningham/John Novelli hosted Resources conference call for over 14 years where dock plans, spare aircraft and out of type schedule changes were discussed?

Yeah, didn't think so.

 

[WorldTraveler]

yes, whatever.

It does matter.

I and the OP stated that AA's schedules were reduced over previous years. that is precisely the case.

AA has not chosen to reduce its capacity in other markets, esp. to/from DFW and MIA to Latin America markets where competition is increasing.

Quite simply, AA picked MIA-LAX to reduce frequency because it dominates (and that is an accurate statement) the market and can reduce capacity and try to force up yields.

where it cannot, it isn't doing it.

the reason for the reduction is immaterial. AA has a network over which they make decisions to deploy capacity based on each market.

They could have taken X% of capacity out of every market, including widebodies. they didn't.

and the reason why is obvious and market performance driven.

You're pretty good at attacking someone's "person" though

The Trolling is masterful, I've very rarely encountered the likes of it in an internet career that spans nearly three decades of forum participation and moderation.
 
The sympathy for the injured crew in the DFW-ICN thread, the way one portrays themselves as merely a "Messenger" when ones agenda is questioned, bringing "Facts" to a discussion."Facts" that are carefully manicured more than the 18th green at Augusta.
 
Struggling on the cross as slings and arrows pierce the flesh of the "Discussion Host" when the message isn't well received.
 
The real time nature of the posts, in rapid succession in multiple topics.It is a tour de force  of trolling.Myg0tt would be proud.
