Sources are reporting that AMR, the parent of American Airlines, will ask for more time to exclusively file a reorganization plan. This comes as absolutely no surprise to me since the airlines are still negotiating with the unions. I’m happy to see the unions…
From Milepoint, 90% of ANA passengers surveyed say their overall Dreamliner experience met or exceeded their expectations. This doesn’t surprise me at all. The cabin pressure and humidity made such a striking difference for me on my long flights. In case you missed it,…

Going a bit out of sequence here, since I’m still finishing up my post on the meal service for the NRT-BOS leg of my trip. Here’s a full list of Dreamliner posts from the last week: BOS-NRT 787 Trip-Arrival in BOS JAL 787 Touches…
Boeing announced in it’s recent earnings call that it supports AA’s reorganization plan. That means it’s not in favor of USAirways raiding American Airlines during bankruptcy. Boeing is one of the nine members of AA’s creditor committee. It’s good to see someone actually come…
