Just when you think you couldn't be more disappointed in the British this comes along. England has lost its way which to me personally is very sad. The 3rd runway at LHR was vital to the UK's economic future. It also seems that no one took into account that aircraft burning needless fuel circling in holding patterns would have been eliminated. The 3rd runway would have also improved taxi delays to the active departure runway as LHR would have no longer been forced to only have one departure runway during peak departure times saving fuel burn as well. This decision hurt the environment and the climate. It's a shame the flight shamming idiots and ignorant government officials couldn't get their arms around actual facts. I believe in climate change and supported the 3rd runway at LHR, because I try to have something others don't seem to want to practice these days, common sense!!!

You can't just call up Airbus and say give me more planes because I don't like Boeing anymore. As it is Airbus deliveries are far behind schedule and that's not just at AA. It would also have no impact on the lack of investor confidence. AA management has been using the 737 MAX as an excuse for their bad planning and poor business decisions. The 737 MAX grounding is currently not having anywhere near as much impact financially at American as Doug Parker would like you to think. AA has not retired several 757s as well as some of the original 737s. Yes the older planes cost more to fly, but they are either paid for or leased at a much cheaper rate which cancels out much if not all of the higher operating cost. American also currently has more than enough planes. The bottom line on why AA stock is doing so bad: 1.) They have too much debt 2.) American's corporate leadership has not presented a sound business plan to investors. 3.) Their operating costs are higher than De

This says a lot about the lack of investor confidence in AA. The airline with the least exposure in Asia and Europe is being hit the hardest. I think American's large amount of debt is catching up with them in a big way. This was a serious enough problem even before the Coronavirus scare.

MH370 Boeing is currently far from perfect, but for once try posting something that isn't negative about Boeing. Enough with Airbus being perfect and Boeing doing nothing good.

Collin Seftel before you pontificate, FlightAware indicated 710Kts not me, and I did not say it was the over the ground speed. Do a replay of the flight if you don't believe me. I think you're forgetting the difference between the over the ground speed and true airspeed. The speed at which you break the sound barrier varies at different altitudes with true airspeed. Also 747 is capable of cruising at more than Mach 0.88.

Onemileatatime.com has to get over their anger with American Airlines. AA Domestic First Class seats have nothing to do with the subject of Delta's new seats.

The original 777 series are a great aircraft, but the future is the 787. This should have very clear to Boeing before launching the 777X.

Wow, with it being a Delta hub, and them being the "Perfect" airline I can't believe DTW could have any problems.
