The big question is if they will price their awards as J or F
You can be sure they will do exactly that if it ever comes to the NYC or LAX route.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

חמורו של משיח

I don't know what you mean by that, but I like it :D

I liked that Maimon started his speech by saying that they made several mistakes in the past and this a new beginning.. will wait and see.

He can't be trusted, hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

Don't give them any ideas

Its not a matter of if, its a matter of when.

Too soon to tell at this stage but very unlikely
They're getting it in September and won't have EWR flights for Sukkos? Why not?
And what happened to the rumor of HKG getting it first?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

They are not 100% sure when they are getting it, possibly last week of August. Then a full week of technical testing in Israel to get the flying certification, plus a month of staff training to London. I don't see how they would have it ready for Soukos.. but you never know

No idea what happened with HKG. Maybe United's decision to put their Polaris on that route

Silly to charge more for flights with new plane. Childish.

Well if DL and UA  rarely open lowest RBD, why shouldn't they charge more?

Why is it childish to charge more for a better product?

90 vs 84 is far different than comparing LY 777 to 787
777 is almost like PE of the 787, of course they are entitled to change more

Very nice.

Haven't heard any expert opinions on how this plane overall compares to Delta and United

Don't they know their crowd?

2 usb power ports for every 3 seats in cattle class with Israelis.....
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
