tom Joad,

I meant to call up and check what happened with the 91. a few months ago when TLV was closed due to a strike the 90 was diverted to FCO where she sat till the next day. Co had to renumber the flight the next day to a 4 # one, i guess since the 90 is a daily flight EWR-TLV it would have confused things.

Now, what I dont understand is since 99% of the time the 91 goes out full on a daily basis, how did they get everyone onto the other flights, since Im sure that most of the passengers have EWR as their final stop. I saw that CO has both a 777 & 767 from LGW-EWR. But unless they were empty where did they put all the passngers from the 91? Unless they simply rebooked 'em onto other carriers, either way its gonna cost CO a pretty $, and then they will still have to fly the bird back to the states empty. I guess they can always fill it up with cargo and make their $$ that way since the hold should be empty of all bags.
