About the only thing you
did get correct is the fact that the IAD-CDG-IAD route is no longer operated by a 757 but by a different aircraft.
I suggest you take a close look at the statistics and plethora of posts from last year and let us know if you'd like to post an update to the post above
What a bunch of a fatuous nonsense.
The 757 was the wrong aircraft for this route. While you were busy debating the definition of an "unplanned fuel stop", United was busy limiting payloads and blocking 30 seats in the back. This was a disastrous equipment swap, one that elicited outrage from the media and corporate accounts alike, and one that was reversed.
