A330-200 MCO-CLT

[Justme]

I found this interesting::

US 2008 6:45 AM (MCO) 8:37 AM (CLT) 332

Is it just me or is this pretty cool?

 

[robbedagain]

what day? its also possible it might be a new plane that being used for proving runs before they put it on an intl flight

 

[cltrat]

they did that fall/winter as well

So will there be a long discussion of US using vendors at MCO like we saw in the PHX thread?

MCO has been getting widebodies for years, they are trained and have the equipment.

Not trolling its a reasonable question. I didn't know US sent widebodies to MCO but not PHX, one of their hubs. Did they ever send 762/330 to MIA?

Yes, the A330 was in MIA extensively during proving runs and scheduled service when the planes were first gotten, and MIA use to see the 767s all the time from CLT.

And SJU, CUN and other islands have see widebody service

Interesting. Surprising you say MIA, that has never been a big market for US and is a small station.

Ever to BOS? We had widebody AA to LAX, AA to MIA and DL to ATL in the past few years

MIA was the base for the Florida Shuttle under Piedmont.

US ran a daily 767 from PIT-CLT-MIA.

Airbus has a big training center down there, thats why it was used from proving runs.

MIA use to be a crew base from PI, and shortly for US, when I hired in TPA, I went to MIA for my paperwork and IDs.

US flew BOS-FRA for a bit. Not sure what domestic routing was used.

TPA use to see regular 767 service, both LGW flights originated from TPA, one to CLT-LGW and one to BWI-LGW.

Also LAX use to see the 767 all the time, they had the wash and buff out there for it and we used TWA's hangar for the nightly check on them at LAX.

BDA has seen the 767 service before also.

USAirways had a hub in MIA via Piedmont, long before AAmerican. They pulled down service (similar to the PSA debacle) after merging.

USAirways made a habit of shutting down any profitable service they didnt think of?

Brilliant....

Flew a 767 to LAS years ago as a substitute for a 757. They managed to work it with no problem. It got a fair amount of attention from the employees who had never seen one in US livery.
