Yes, all signs point to yes on that.

Any idea of a timeline on this? Might have a HKG trip late-ish this year and this flight would come in handy!

Do you know if they plan on having pmUS and pmAA crew bases at those respective stations? Because that was a problem when CO/UA started doing intl cross-fleeting. If there is a crew issue at ORD, that 332 flight will get cancelled; as there will be no one on call. Same thing at PHL with that 763 flight. And even if they have a 333/332 "hot spare" at PHL as a substitute, they would need a whole new crew to fly it.

I hope AA looks hard at how UA screwed up cross fleeting, and makes sure they don't make the same mistakes.

Dang. I just checked my PHL-ZRH flight in May and it's a 763. I purposely routed thru PHL (vs. JFK) to get the A332. This is a paid J ticket and I feel a bit ripped off. I've honestly not flown the refurbished 763 (have flown the A332) but from what I've seen and read the A332 is a nicer seat.

A change of aircraft will usually get you a reasonable change if you call in and ask. Just know which flight(s) you want instead.

We (LUS) will staff the ORD-DUB flights and LAA PHL-ZRH.

I assume you mean cabin crew? Can LUS flight crew fly 763s? Are there any PHL-based pilots who can operate a 763?

Unfortunately, according to AA.com, the only way to get to ZRH is via PHL or JFK and now both use the 763.
I just few LX ZRH-BOS in business and can't recommend it highly enough. |
