Please keep this thread on topic as the last one was closed.

CLT-sees mainline to PWM, SAT, STL
PHL-mainline returns on 3 out of 4 flights to MSP
PHX-mainline flight to FAT, SAT, AUS
PHX-mainline does not return to YYC and GDL loses mainline

All changes take place after Labor Day

I am so glad CLT mainline is going back to PWM, SAT and STL. Those were great layovers.

Seasonal CLT-HNL service on a 762 will begin in Nov, as well.

Seasonal CLT-HNL service on a 762 will begin in Nov, as well.

Will the service be the same crappy domestic F service, or will it be a modified-J service like CO does?

Does the 767 have the range to do a non-stop from CLT to HNL? I have read nothing from the company about that. And searching USAirways.com shows no flights from CLT to HNL nonstop in December

Years ago, US flew a proving run from CLT to LAX to HNL, but never started the flight, several mechanics from CLT went on the flight for ETOPS reasons.

Seasonal CLT-HNL service on a 762 will begin in Nov, as well.

I checked a date in December as test and haven't found any non-stops.

Where did you find this info?

PHL-LHR will use one of the new 332s (instead of the 767) starting November 1. MUC will remain a 767 for the winter.

Plus if US is returning 767s to the lessor, even with some flight cuts, where is the plane gonna come from?

I found this on Airliners.net, someone said it is now loaded into the OAG online:

US 807 CLT 0945-1459 HNL 762
US 808 HNL 1745-0742+1 CLT 762

Does the 767 have the range to do a non-stop from CLT to HNL?........

It's loaded in the OAG, which is unusual before any hoopla announcement.

The US 762 shouldn't have a problem on this route, however PHL-HNL would likely require similar restrictions to ATH - or worse. This route will likely be cargo light and favor passenger loads - albeit Low Yield. Why they are doing this, especially with a 762, in this economic climate is a mystery to me.

Will the service be the same crappy domestic F service, or will it be a modified-J service like CO does?

We have a different first class service for HNL. I've never worked it as I'm not based in PHX but from what I've seen, it looks really good.

I'd post a pic of the meals but for the life of me I can't find one. Sorry.

 

[PITOCC71]

Seasonal CLT-HNL service on a 762 will begin in Nov, as well.

More likely on most days will be extra CLT-PHX and extra PHX-HNL (or CLT-LAX and LAX-HNL).

I'm curious to see it if you come across it.

CO has a modified BusinessFirst service with ice cream sundaes and menus and 4 choices of entrees plus a hot sandwich before landing. They use a 767-400 with individual entertainment.

Wonder if US will allow First pax to use the AVODS or if they will show one movie on a screen.

One thing's for sure, there will only be 10 BOB meals for a full boat!
