After the summer busy season. Fall '07/ Winter '08 was the last I heard.....

But I've heard that it is going to happen as of June 1 ...

I do not know who told you that but it is not true. With the seasonal routes all operational by May it will be impossible to keep all the routes running with a 767 down for a significant amount of time.

I believe what you heard is refering to the program to put Envoy seats in the 757s which are coming out of the 330s.

That will be done before the 767 envoy program.

June? They need to install lie flat seats in all of the crew rooms since they are determined to make everyone commute.

I keep hearing people mention the new lie-flat business seats going into the 767's. Is this going to replace all the seats in the current business class. Also, are these all new seats, or are they the lie-flat seats found on the A330's. And how many lie-flat seats will they be putting in the 767's. And finally, will they be doing this with the A330's as well? Sorry for all the questions.

Seat retrofit program for the B767 fleet is scheduled to begin in the fall of this year.

Here's a related question, but a bit off topic:

What are they going to do witht the ETOPS 757's during the winter months? I mean I assume they will put them on Caribbean, Vegas, etc, but how will they intermix them with the 757's that still have 8 FC domestic seats? Has this been discussed yet?

It has not been publicly discussed, but it would make sense to put them on the Hawaiian routes when they're not used to Europe. Then they can retrofit the Hawaiian 757 premuim class to match the TA ones. But that just makes too much sense....

Can't do that until there is one contract; doubt that will happen by this fall....

The perfect solution...although costly...would be to take pride in the 330/767/757 fleet by completely refurbishing ALL these a/c (i know the 767's are) and place the new Envoy seats in the three a/c type. Use the 757's on transcon flights and gradually convert ALL 757's to etops. Within a short time US Airways would have a huge amt of a/c to use overwater AND could bring back some of the high end customers that would jump for a chance to fly transcons in a nicer seat.

This is dreaming I know.

Can anyone paste and copy them for this board?

the only think Tempe takes pride in is chasing away good customers and degrading the product...oh, and looking foolish for their half-thought-out changes and their CEO's drinking and driving habits.

YIKES!!!! I saw the re-configured A330-300 seats on justplanenews earlier today. The pictures weren't up long, however. Sweet Jesus they are tight!!! The person in front of you is literally sitting in your lap. Absolutely horrendous. Do the Tempe gang not try a little research and development before they make these decisions? The "flagship" aircraft of LCC is now simply a larger A320.

Oh Goodie! I just hope that the person who is sitting behind me is a barber, he can make a few bucks. Oh that's right no scissors. Oh well. 🙁
