Quick trip back to California this weekend on America West. First = flight on HP mainline ever, if memory serves. A320 for every segment. =20 Some observations: =20 1. In four flights (BOS-LAS-LAX and SNA-PHX-BOS), I don't think there = was a single empty seat. =20 2. A little surprising to have nothing but snack service on 5 hour = flights to/from BOS. =20 3. HP's older A320's are starting to look pretty tired. BOS-LAS was a new(er) plane, but the others were significantly older and it showed. SNA-PHX was N624AW and I'm not sure this plane has undergone an interior refresh since it rolled off the line in 1989. =20 4. $5 is a bit outrageous for headsets. Anybody have numbers on revenue from those sales, especially as they compare to UA, who provides = headsets for free? Seems like the extra revenue can't be that much. =20 5. HP makes their "customer friendly" ticketing policies a big part of = their intra-travel marketing. Everything talks about the no Saturday stay, = free same-day standby, etc. Good stuff from Doug Parker. =20 Overall, no major complaints. Given a choice, I'd still go UA, but = AmWest certainly seems to be doing things right (and heading in the right direction).
