Looks like we have a complete absence of interest by every other carrier.
Perhaps we do…. Given that UA already leased a slot for GRU service to US and every other carrier has had the opportunity to add flights outside of GRU, the only question comes to when DL chooses to expand its service at GRU.
Other than that, AA is free to add as much capacity as it wants.
Given that KE’s DOT statistics between LAX-GRU show pretty weak load factors and that flight includes thru passengers from GRU to ICN, there may not be as much traffic to fill AA’s daily 777 as they think.
But I’m particularly glad that you reopened this topic since it provided an opportunity to do a little statistical analysis.
While E clearly salivated at the prospect of starting a new topic that would draw me into a fight with AA’s loyalists in an effort to rack up negative votes, the datapull shows that username Veritas was way out front in voting down as many of WT’s posts in this topic as possible. IN fact, I’m not sure Veritas missed any of them, but I’ll post his reputation page in case anyone wants to see not only if he/she/it missed any WT posts here to vote down – or for that matter has missed any of the last several thousand over the last couple years.

What should be very apparent is that Veritas is a very loyal AA employee – or wannabe – who seems to know all the HR kind of information about the company but also has an enormous grudge against WT.
Now I have no idea who Veritas is but he/she/it never participates in any of the discussions about strategic issues, being an HR kind of person.
Yet they have one royal beef against WT.
And strangely, EOlesen is hellbent on bringing up Spectator’s activity and is horribly preoccupied with activity to vote UP WT's reputation but acts totally unaware that Veritas was WT’s largest and primary negative voter.
But this isn't faith, and it isn't a hobby.
It's peoples' careers. It's people's second family.
I’m fully aware that people’s lives and careers are on the line and I have never made light of that.
No one else has taken my posts about AA as personally as you have.
No one else has worked as hard to silence the criticism of AA as you have.
It's about deflection. Instead of discussing the topic, WT would rather discuss anything else. And suddenly, Silver Meteor, who occasionally pops in to defend WT in the past, makes a surprise appearance?
As long as we're off-topic and deflecting, I do find it most curious that someone who rarely makes an appearance and says in their signature that they're an avid DL FF suddenly signed in, and decided to jump into this discussion... Posting within minutes of WT, then going away, and then posting within minutes of WT's next response... On a Wednesday, mid-morning...
Just sayin'.... on the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.
Yes, that’s right you never know who is using two accounts or manipulating the post voting system.
For years you have tried to paint the picture of Spectator as the one who was manipulating the post voting system yet Veritas’ name was never raised.
And yet when someone wants to jump into the conversation and affirm that perhaps I might have offered insight, you immediately attacked them.
You never have been capable of engaging in debate or discussion.
You don’t think a data driven kind of guy like me didn’t know where the negative votes were coming from?
You don’t think a data driven guy like me couldn’t add up the number of negative votes that came from other people and those that came from Veritas?
Let me remind you again that Veritas has over 430 pages of negative reputation votes (unless those somehow magically have disappeared) while posting having less than 1000 posts in 10 years on the forum.
I don’t know of any other user who has such a high ratio of reputation pages compared to actual posts - except of course Spectator.
Maybe the answer as to why Spectator exists is directly related to the presence of serial red button pushes, of whom Veritas would most certainly be the Prime Minister.
