1- why LY flys non-stop TLV-LAX and not much hi-tech in the LA area itself, maybe BOS-SFO but if B6 was smart theyd wait to see how BOS in non-coach works for LY
Ummmmmmmm.. right. Non-Coach long haul on LY is garbage compared to the other one-stop options from SFO (SFO-YYZ-TLV, SFO-EWR-TLV, SFO-LHR-TLV, SFO-PHL-TLV...).
If anyone think B6 is going to "mint" BOS-SFO/LAX on the basis of anything other than its own traffic, you're out of your mind. 1-2 seats 3x a week isn't going to change the P&L for anyone. Which is not to say that they won't do mint on those routes, but it won't have anything to do with LY.
I agree that BOS-TLV would be a perfect 787 route, so would most of the other 767-300 routes. If only LY wasn't stupid and cancelled their 787 order which they would've gotten dirt cheap after all the delay compensation.
