"The route hasn't been profitable, it's strictly a financial decision," Texas-based carrier says, cites $20 million in losses • Company to terminate Philadelphia-Tel Aviv route in January 2016 • Pennsylvania congressman: Decision will hurt both economies.
You’ll know they’re lying when they start service to Gaza City.
You've obviously never been to JFK...or Newark.

How many flights are there to Tehran?
The management of US Airways will be the management of the new American.....the old one went bankrupt.
The US Airways management team came from America West, which bought US Airways and merged the airlines.
The new American will be the world’s largest carrier and it will be run by a team that came from a low-cost, regional carrier. The CEO, Doug Parker, started at American Airlines before starting America West and has been leveraging his team’s talents since.
As a frequent flier, they have made many improvements at the old US Airways and PHL. Still a lot more to do, but it is a good team.
and I should believe them because?????
indeed
I just flew on American Airlines to Germany. The plane was filthy. The inch or so of the floor between the seat and the interior wall of the cabin was covered with crumbs. I doubt it had been vacuumed in months. The blanket and pillow they gave me was also stained obviously recycled from the previous flight. The food was inedible. Don’t get me started on the filthy bathrooms.
My son tried to tell me that. Should have listened.
Its a complicated deal. When AA bought TWA out of bankruptcy TWA owed Israel $17MM(?) in back wages/landing fees, etc. AA assumed those debts if they ever wanted to fly to Israel they would need to be paid off. Since the AA/US merger will be complete on Oct. 16th and US goes away those debts would need to be paid by AA to continue to fly to TLV. I guess AA does not think its worth it.
Ah, so you agree that the government should decide what private businesses can or cannot do. See tag line.
What do you mean?
Free market capitalism, not crony capitalism, is the best economic model for the nation. A federal government ought to pursue such a model.
