A teppanyaki/sushi place just opened not too far from my fiancee. That would be a PHL fly-in for those so inclined or a drive down 295.

I'm pretty sure that was the original plan but US's plans change all the time (see E190s, PHL-PEK, etc.) They are loading the 332s into the GDS for next summer so I suppose they still are on track to get more.

There are two kinds of Awesome in The Box. There is the usage as normally intended, and then there is Awesome™. The latter indicates the polar opposite of the former.

They have firm orders for 20 more. Not sure when deliveries are scheduled.

jimyvr's Airline Route blog says that they will be flying seven routes next summer, so I would assume that they would have 15 or so by then.

With Dividend Miles.

They've mortgaged just about everything they can, so who knows? Weren't they one of the airlines that issued stock this summer?

ETA post 737. Very appropriate for a post about buying Airbuses.

(Nobody can say that I did not help. I explained the use of Awesome™.)

They shook the couch in Doug Parker's office. Enough Budweiser bottle caps were found to recycle.

Night, Box.

Wow. A summer 332 to FRA? On top of the 2x333's from Lufty?
