Thanks for posting, much better than the DL 757 and 763 BusinessElite! AA fills their flights with premium revenue passengers wile DL has trash yields in Y, non-revs in BE and cargo oh did I mention cargo...AdAstraPerAspera said:

I know but for months we were schooled that AA is abandoning a valuable segment of the market by using smaller A321Ts to replace the 762s which of course have fewer Y seats and lack the same containerized cargo capabilities. Of course the 763 from DL is only temporary as the 757s mods are still underway. So DL will have an inferior product and lack containerized cargo once the 763s are gone on the route.Glenn Quagmire said:Pax are just human cargo in the revenue chain.

if JFK-LAX and SFO are considered transcon markets, DL was already the number 1 carrier in terms of passengers and revenue in the local markets by the first quarter of this year, the most currently available.I know but for months we were schooled that AA is abandoning a valuable segment of the market by using smaller A321Ts to replace the 762s which of course have fewer Y seats and lack the same containerized cargo capabilities.

hate to say it, cause we all love how these threads end up, but have to agree here.whatkindoffreshhell said:So this bozo writer took one transcon flight and self-proclaimed a 'best carrier' on that particular lane?
See why the media is not be trusted....
meh as much as I enjoy what could come of this, this isn't the best proof.AdAstraPerAspera said:
Might try actually reading the article..particularly the first part of the first sentence in the first paragraph. "Having recently test-flown transcon nonstop in business or first class (watch now) on the five competing airlines that fly these routes..." He flew all 5 airlines that fly the transcons. Yes, he can now offer his opinion as to which one of the five does it best. That's what travel writers do and are paid to do. They sample the competing products and then offer their opinion of the differences.whatkindoffreshhell said:So this bozo writer took one transcon flight and self-proclaimed a 'best carrier' on that particular lane?

except a limited sample of anything doesn't translate to what someone can expect on a larger sample.And, don't try with "well, one trip on each doesn't tell you much." It tells a passenger all he needs to know. Yeah, the purser at DL might have been having a bad day, or the AA crew discovered half-way through the meal preparation that the oven dishes had no vegetables in them, but the passenger doesn't know that. He/she just knows that they didn't get their money's worth on airline A or B, and probably won't fly them next time unless their company has a contract with one of these airlines. At the price point that passengers pay on transcon business and first class, it needs to be top-notch every time.
