Rumors are that GRU, EZE and SCL are next. That's what I heard another day at the crew room.

This is Great 🙂 One more destination for me to visit this Summer!

Here's the Charlotte Observer link: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/597/story/611003.html

Very good news!

Of course, in true Tempe fashion, the news appears nowhere on the hub, wings, or usairways.com.

You probably mean Fall/Winter. US service would start in October 2009.

Well, "this Summer" for the southern hemisphere anyway. Service is tentatively set to start Oct. 1.

They're looking for someone to pose in a thong for the home page.

But seriously they have a press release on usairways.com

So far I've only see Shalom and Hawaii being hawked on the home page today.

I'll bet Doug looks hot in a thong--maybe him AND Scottie with little flag logos on the pouches.

BTW, I love the fact that the the Israeli US Airways site is in English.

That's gnarly.
Plus, neither of them has enough "heat" (said like Hank Azaria did as Agador in The Birdcage) to pull it off.

Good for US getting GIG.

I'm not sure if the link means that US will be flying this or if it pertains to code-sharing, but it appears the rights are there for more South America.

Arrrrgh!!! With that image in mind I might have to call in SICK for next week, or possibly even the whole month!!!

If it's legal, that's how it will work. However, given the fact that the distance involved (4700 NM) is further than Philly to Rome (4400 NM,) I doubt that they will do that.

But there is no abuse of employees that will go untried around here. It may take a few canceled return flight due to crew fatigue before they "get it."
