I've been confused by AA's on-line schedules. It sort of implies that the carrier flies 737-800s and MD-80s transcon, but they clearly don't. What is missing from the web schedules on AA.com is a column stating either nonstop or number of stops. If you take the elapsed flight time for one of those MD-80s or 737-800s you'll find that it's way longer than a nonstop flight using the 757s and/or 767s///the aircraft of choice on the transcon flights out of Boston. Only to Seattle and San Diego (I believe) does AA run 737-800s all the way non-stop. And I know for sure they don't do it on their dash 80s.

AmericaWest launches coast to coast A319 service from JFK & BOS to LAX on 10/26 for a last minute fare of $299. JFK-SFO service begins 12/19 and from the weirder than Al Sharpton dept, BOS-SFO service begins 3/4/04. Cactus is also hiring another 75 F/A's and 24 pilots. Something's working at Tempe as Wall Street liked the news on AWA today >> Well, looks like HP is making up for the loss of non-stop LAX-BOS seats left after UA and AA dumped most of their's and DL all of their's. It is interesting that they are doing this with A319s. Leaving out the airport charges, B6 still has financial advantages with the bigger A320s and no F cabin. Still, good job HP, seeing that LAX is the best airport in the world to service.
