GIG Equipment Upgrade?

[strangiatotheme]

Just noticed that, from October 28th, the availability in Economy for flights 800/801 is showing 238 instead of 186. Envoy is still showing as 18 seats though. I'm assuming this means it's going to be upgraded to an A332, does anyone else know for sure?

You have assumed correctly..

This makes sense since most of the European seasonal fights wrap up on October 26. This is good news for travelers on the CLT-GIG route. I recently flew the PHL-TLV flight on the A330-200 and, from a passenger's point of view, it is the best aircraft USAirways flies.

From a pilot viewpoint, that is also the case. Flight attendants give it mixed reviews, but most of them that work it are EXTREMELY senior mommas (and papas.) Their crew rest seats are a cruel joke, but I can't imagine the 767 or 757 are any better.
