AA to DUMP 757's

[gizmo_sc]

AA announced today they would be DUMPING the 757's (19) they got with the TWA merger, aka OLD 757 with old VIDEO SYSTEMS, I personally FLEW the TWA 757 as a FSM for the last 6 yrs I was at TWA before AA bought us and I got LAID OFF. These AC are newer than the Eastern AC we are flying.. .maybe TEMPE needs to see if we can LEASE some of them. AA posted the 757's had no video systems. and all the 757 I flew had the LCD's every 4-5 rows.... AA has some OLD 757 with the CRT in the CEILING.

Great idea, and i think some of them are ETOPS, if my memory serves me right. TWA used them to Europe,and it would be great if US got them and could expand to Europe and South America.

First of all this has nothing to do with US Airways, it is all ready posted on the AA Site and they are all ready leased upon return by AA to the leaseholder.

AFAIK, these are the birds that Delta is rumored to be acquiring. They have little commonality with what US is currently flying.

:huh: How the hell can Delta afford them?

I believe that the ex-TWA birds have PW engines, and US has RR engines on both fleets.

TWA flew some LAX-KOA, so there are ETOPS out there

You are correct...

Questions like that have not stopped them yet. Oh Juan Trippe and Harding Lawrence would be so proud.
