WorldTraveler said:but preachers, and anyone else, do care about seat width and personal space on an aircraft as much as anyone else.
when someone comes on here making a comment about how bad it is to fly on a DL 767 across the Pacific, they should expect that a factual response that shows that DL's 767s offer more space per passenger than AA's 777s do.
jcw said:So in case anyone cares to simply look at seatguru.com
Compare the AA seating to DL seating the AA seating on 777's is the same or better than DL on the 767's the AA width is smaller than DL. However the pitch on MCE is better than DL's.
So let's not let the facts get in the way - some aircraft on said cheerleaders airline is better some are worse - so basically it's a draw
WorldTraveler said:again, if you showed even a modicum of intelligence in your discussions, I wouldn't have anywhere near the success in debating you.
WorldTraveler said:no.... you clearly don't understand that AA can share its revenue with anyone it wants but antitrust immunity is only granted to specific markets.
JL is part of the JBA for a larger set of markets than where ATI is permitted.
btw, the UA TPAC JBA is multi-national and involves multiple carriers but ATI only exists where the US has Open Skies.
correct me if I am wrong.

Scope of the Joint Business
The joint business will apply to non-stop flights on 10 trans-Pacific routes initially. It is expected to be expanded upon obtaining the required approval from authorities of third-party countries to add routes linking destinations beyond Japan and North America.
Trans-Pacific Flights
Operating Carrier Route JAL
Narita = New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Vancouver
Haneda = San Francisco
Operating Carrier Route AA
Narita = Dallas/Fort Worth†, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles
Haneda = New York†, Beijing = Chicago*, Shanghai = Chicago*, Los Angeles*

FrugalFlyerv2.0 said:For somebody who claims to have so much alleged knowledge in the industry, you should know that in the case of AA/JL ATI = JBA. Educate yourself here: http://www.airlineinfo.com/ostpdf80/33.pdf
By this order, the Department of Transportation grants approval of, and antitrust immunity (“ATI”) for, the separate applications of (1) Star Alliance members All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd,1 Continental Airlines, Inc.,2 and United Air Lines, Inc. (“NH/CO/UA” or “Star”)3 and (2) American Airlines, Inc., and Japan Airlines International Co. Ltd. (“AA/JL” or “oneworld”). The decisions in this order are conditioned upon the U.S.-Japan Open Skies aviation agreement being applied.
The Star applicants and oneworld applicants (collectively, the “ATI Applicants”)4 have requested a grant of immunity from the U.S. antitrust laws to operate two separate commercial alliances: for the Star applicants, a Joint Venture Agreement (“JVA”), and for the oneworld applicants, a Joint Business Agreement (“JBA”). We have concluded that, overall, each alliance will be procompetitive and is likely to generate substantial public benefits to the traveling and shipping public.
Success in debating?FWAAA said:False. Wrong. You are incorrect. AA's application for an immunized joint venture with JAL included all 65 Asian markets served by JAL, including airports in Japan, China, Thailand, Phillipines, Vietnam, Korea, Singapore, etc:

Click on the links and edumacate yourself, Dingus. Consider yourself schooled in the basics of immunized joint ventures.
Multiple people have corrected you multiple times.
Again, you've been corrected. You're wrong. It's clear that your knowledge of the immunized joint ventures is lacking. When expounding on subjects of which you know so very little, it's best to put down the shovel and stop digging once your ignorance has been revealed. But if you want to keep digging all the way to China, there's little we can do to stop you.
WorldTraveler said:despite your success in thinking otherwise, no one has yet to demonstrate that AA has antitrust immunity with any other carrier regarding services other than to Japan because the DOT's documents don't list the countries where the ATI has been approved.
Yes, they have a joint business agreement... but no one has shown where they have ATI outside of Japan or how the revenue sharing part of the agreement is structured.
instead of calling people liars, how about you find the FACTS.
WorldTraveler said:... ... ... but just because you can't see the proof doesn't mean that something is not true.
Ooooh, yes, I love facts.WorldTraveler said:let's just stick to the facts, ok?
