They are part of the East fleet, and are currently in CLT.
Um, yes, hello? I believe someone owes me some money:
Since I was the first to accept your looney bet, and definitively predicted it, I'd say that money's mine.

They are still in Europe not in CLT. Will be brought over once the deal is sealed with the leasing company.
The Philly area is home to the North American Headquarters of IKEA, that might generate some traffic to and from Sweden.

I think US wanted Milan years ago, so I would expect that too. Lisbon and Stockholm are suprises, but if they can make some money on that route, so be it. I would think they would choose Zurich, Copenhagen or Hamburg first.
Also why the 4:10pm flight time departure to Milan?
Does all the west coast traffic arrive in time for that connection? I just came off a SFO flight that came in after 4pm, and was about 20 minutes early. I guess that they would need to make some earlier flights into PHL from the west.
Göteborg, Kalmar, Kiruna, Luleå, Malmö, Ronneby, Skellefteå, Sundsvall, Umeå, Växjö, Ängelholm, Örnsköldsvik, Östersund, Köpenhamn, Oslo, Amsterdam, Berlin, Birmingham, Bryssel, Budapest, Dublin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Genève, Hamburg, Helsingfors, Istanbul, London, Manchester, Milano, Moskva, Paris, Prag, Rom, St Petersburg, Tallinn, Zürich
Copenhagen has more SAS connections, but I'm sure there is a good reason behind Stockholm over Copehnagen. Maybe they can add that to the questions for Doug?
Nothing said about DUB/SNN year round yet, but im sure it may be announced soon if it happens.. makes sense now they have the aircraft in the winter.. I have heard this is a strong possibility, but dont think GLA will go year round
Oh yeah i think i am owed some of that $1000, where are you Falco??? at the bank?

Codeshare connections w/ SAS to strengthen the relationship in the Star Alliance. From what I've seen and heard, Management is making overtures to show interest in further participation because their previous philosophy (at the helm of HP) was to avoid the alliances. Now they're trying to show good faith efforts to play nice.

Puleeze, if they were showing good faith efforts to play nice, they would bring rollover back, tier mileage bonuses for high fares back, and companion upgrades at the same window as US1's. It's all about business to them. Maybe it is abou keeping WN from getting more gates. Maybe it is about feeding flights to SAS. But, the bottom line is that they feel that they can make money off of these flights. Many cruises start in Sweden...just like Venice and Barcelona.

Play nice to Star. They don't care to play nice to the VFFs; you already know that!

You're right he doesn't want to play nice with us. He thinks he can help run an airline without VFF's. However, maybe he doesn't need Star. Maybe he has his eyes on another alliance.
