MIA-LAX widebodies reduced

Who really gives a crap??

I don't know bout other cities  but in mine  ive seen DL 777 few times here  and that includes one yesterday  Does anyone know if that was a reg scheduled flight with the a/c change or was it a military movement?  the 777 took off roughly around 2-4 o clock hr period

let me refresh you regarding the OP's statement.

Checked the schedule for January and down to a single daily 772 turn-no more 763s rest of the flights are 32S and 738. I know there is a key cargo client that ships Lobster to Shanghai which the current schedule facilitates. Still pretty unfortunate considering throughout 2012 (and into 2013) there were 3 772s and a couple 763s in the mix.

despite the efforts of several AA fan kids, AA has reduced its widebody schedule for MIA-LAX during the winter.

it's a pretty easy effort to acknowledge these easily verifiable facts.

instead of trying so hard to denigrate somehow who simply answered the question which has been avoided and rationalized for 6 pages, how about you just acknowledge that the OP's observation is accurate?

it is no wonder why there is so much tension on this board when a discussion about such basic observations such as the OPs statement turn into what this thread has become.

Tension on the board is a result of you squatting on every thread Goldie.
 
Happy Holidays.

I thought I did, you're the one spreading doom and gloom.....

we could have been thru with this thread pages ago if a few people could have simply admitted that the OP was right

 

[eolesen]

That argument might be partially true had the first page of responses not been filled with people saying, "Yep. Normal."

You, the resident know-it-all-without-portfolio, decided to tell everyone working at AA (past & present) that they were full of crap, and that it was some indicator of doom and gloom.

And FYI, the drop in ASMs is most definitely seasonal, which is something else I said in my first response. Here's actual data for the middle Wednesday of each month:

Notice how ASM's fall off with the fall schedules, and then come back in February?...

February ASM's in the market are actually higher than the baseline for last summer.

That's real data that you can verify if you wish, not BS projections and conjecture.

and yet AA's winter schedules have fewer widebodies on MIA-LAX than they have had for at least the last 2 years and AA's capacity overall is still down.

you can't just say it, can you?

They weren't doing refurbs of wide bodies in the last 2 off-seasons either.  
 
Obviously there are higher yielding routes to utilize the wide body fleet that is still in service.  And, as posted back on page 1, 3 wide bodies return to this route at end of March.  I can't believe there's a thread that's going on like this for a 3 month equipment swap that matches capacity with demand, while also covering the down equipment for the refurbs.

 

[WorldTraveler]

yes, we get that the widebodies will come back.

and if AA wanted to maintain capacity or increase it, they could have added narrowbody capacity which is what AA has done in many other MIA markets.

How stupid are you - no one is denying their is less widebodies - the issue is you keep implying AA is doing poorly in the market

 

[WorldTraveler]

where did I say AA was doing poorly in the market?

look hard because you won't find it.

 

[jcw]

what is so hard for you to comprehend is you bash every AA move - every move - we mean every move - you would not be on this thread posting if you did not think it was a mistake by AA
 
Give it a rest - you have to realize you bash AA every chance you get

 

[WorldTraveler]

I didn't bash AA anywhere in this thread.

I simply noted that they have decreased their capacity by 7% and indeed had more widebody flights in the market in the last two years.

They made a marketing driven decision to reduce capacity in a market which they dominate.
