Posted: Tue Jan 21, 2014 7:54 pm Post subject: Jet Airways News -- Part 12 |
|
|
Almost done with Part 11, so starting on Part 12.
- 9W's AUH-JFK flight shows 3-3-3 in Y, not 3-4-3, as believed earlier, so apart the early morning arrival into JFK this very flight has another slight advantage over EYs own JFK flight, that flight, however will get an A380 sooner or later.
- As reported earlier, EY has started code-sharing 9Ws BRU-YYZ run, so as expected, on the days they don't fly their own metal to YYZ, flights are being routed via BRU so,
BKK/KUL/SIN-AUH-YYZ-BRU-AUH-BKK/KUL/SIN type routings aren't uncommon. _________________ Causal Determinism : We are hardwired to need answers. The Caveman who heard a rustle in the bushes and checked out to see what it was, lived longer than the guy, who assumed it was just a breeze.

Hopefully. But like I say with Fibga, fingers crossed, breath not held. Q3 resluts (typo intentional) coming up.
In the meantime:
Another part, another fail
But it's always true:

Let's hope Part 12 brings more clarify on 9W's long haul hub structure and connectivity. Can't wait for 9W to provide one-stop between most of India and most of Europe/ North America/ South America and Africa! _________________ We miss you Nalini! |

By the way, whatever happened to Gary? Why was he booted all of a sudden?
I suspect it's because he had the gall to say Paris with that configuration and at those timings was a bad idea. Or that he had the temerity to suggest that the JetFolk need to put their heads down and do some honest work to weather their crisis.
But who knows.

+1
But that's not going far enough. Why not non-stop flights between some of India (or at least one) and some of Europe / Americas / Africa? Just like AI and BA and KQ and UA and MS and LX do? _________________ four years free of jetya punti! |

Ooh, the excitement over one stop flights to Europe/America/Africa......hahaha! Biggest joke!!!
They could have had non-stop to most places if continued to build up BOM or DEL....but wait, we Indians love travelling at stupid o clock timings and strange routings so that we can stretch our legs!!!
Well done Jet, you will have the Indian market sewn up!! Give yourself a pat on the back!!!
Me, I will stick to non stop direct flights thank you very much!!! |

For a while, I guess it will remain in Abu Dhabi until 9W announces Chicago...
I'm waiting for 9W to upgauge 9W584/583 and 9W582/581 from 737-800 to 777-300ER _________________ <a><img></a> |

At least there's some sense in this order.... All they need are 737s to fly 99.9% of their flights.
Now they can carpet-bomb every airstrip in India with flights to Abu Dhabi. _________________ four years free of jetya punti! |

tell you what, with CDG/ORD/JFK, retention of BRU, we can pretty much dump the "regional feeder only" tag.

I can understand 9W operating any number of non-stops like BOM-CDG. But I don't understand why 9W needs 2 hubs for one-stop flights - one in AUH, and another in BRU. Why not consolidate all one-stop ops via AUH and drop BRU altogether (or retain a non-stop BOM-BRU terminator). _________________ We miss you Nalini! |

BRU is there for YYZ, you can't fly to Canada via the Gulf. Infact I was very surprised to see EY is codesharing on 9Ws YYZ-BRU flight, I thought even that would cause problems.
We'll see a decision on EWR, sooner or later. _________________ Causal Determinism : We are hardwired to need answers. The Caveman who heard a rustle in the bushes and checked out to see what it was, lived longer than the guy, who assumed it was just a breeze.

So had an encounter with the JetChild
Wrote to them on 15th regarding an issue in my JP account w.r.t credit of miles etc.. Clearly explaining what i wanted, including a table showing them what exactly to do.
Got an automated reply saying please give us 3 days. Jan 18 - nothing. then on Jan 21, got the same automated reply again saying give us 3 days.
Jan 23 - (today) - got a reply from someone who has failed to even understand my problem, but deducted more miles from my account
*facepalm*
will need to call them tomorrow and yell, since they work till 6 Pm only according to their website.
Absolute dolts! |

I'm expecting this to continue to JED, keeping in line with Gulf terminators.
Speaking of which, 9W has already placed code share on EY's second daily flight to BOM/DEL , but I wonder what's keeping them from code sharing EY's AMD/BLR/JAI flights? Similarly why hasn't EY placed codes hare on existing 9W576/575 and 9W526/525? _________________ <a><img></a> |

See the schedules and how it all lines up... these aren't Gulf terminators anymore. What's becoming clear from these flights is that they're AUH-based aircraft/routes/airline.
It's basically a series of AUH-XXX-AUH turns, with the XXX being any of a number of spokes in India or the Middle East.
Most of the the planes overnight at home (in Dhabi), fly to wherever and after a relatively short (for Jet anyway) turn at the spoke return home. Average turnaround time at the spokes (BLR, HYD, KWI etc etc) is 4 hours. Average time at home between flights 10 hours. _________________ four years free of jetya punti! |

I suspect a lot of flights will be based in AUH.
For Example, BLR - AUH - ORD; BLR AUH leg would be a 737 and AUH ORD on a B77W. |

Basically two independent flights. And I still have my doubts about JFK ORD etc being Jet for Jet flights (unlike LHR or CDG). I'd love to be wrong, but let's see. _________________ four years free of jetya punti! |

AFAIK,
They're working out logistics in DEL, apparently AI-GMR aren't being the best of hosts, or something along those lines.
whats also possible is that they're waiting for the final report of the FAA because the whole downgrade scenario comes into play. _________________ Causal Determinism : We are hardwired to need answers.

what makes you think EY is a great performer at JFK?
At best, they too pack back-packers from the Indian-SubC, could obviously not afford another daily without another doze of Indian traffic.
They way to make a mark on high volume markets is through frequencies, and an 8 am arrival / ~~ 2100 hrs departure is pretty sufficient.
Same thing with ORD. _________________ Causal Determinism : We are hardwired to need answers. The Caveman who heard a rustle in the bushes and checked out to see what it was, lived longer than the guy, who assumed it was just a breeze.

EY gets to go double daily to JFK.
Besides Jet's profit or loss is now for EY. So if Jet Loses, EY does and Jet does happen to make money, the profit goes to EY.
So really doesn't matter. It's just Etihad Airways operating a flight using Jet planes. |

I don't see the connection between my question and Etihad's performance in New York.
And the feed from India too has no connection with the behind-the-scenes operational/financial decisions EY make. _________________ four years free of jetya punti! |

oh yes, but you see , Jet has proven that a Jet Jet flight to JFK wasn't the best of ideas.
Plus, as it is, if we dig a little bit into ops, 9Ws 77Ws cannot make it into JFK from BOM nonstop without taking a hit on their payload, and more importantly, ATF in AUH, without discounts is ~~ Rs 51K per Ton, BOM is Rs 73K per ton. That. Makes all the difference in the world. _________________ Causal Determinism : We are hardwired to need answers.

Oh dear Lord!
My question had almost nothing to do with your precious Failga or their delicate 777s.
I wonder why EY would be willing to let 9W operate it as a 9W route and earn only 24% + codeshare revenue, when they can earn 100% (less proportional costs in both instances).
I would ask a similar question if it were a similar minority-ownership-but-total-control relationship between another pair of airlines.
Take off the blue and yellow glasses and read again please

Why do u even bother responding to these rants?! Your answers are never going to satisfy the Aunty from Bundbay. She is going to whine and bitch no matter what.
Of course when her white "massa" do the same out of AMS and CDG it is a brilliant strategy, the rest - "how dare they!!" |

this is interesting. Its a simple case of putting 1 and 1 together, either you're incapable of the same, which i somehow doubt or you don't wanna see logic, which I somehow expect, or or or, i'm on plane x and you're on plane c, again something I expect, given we never have common ground.

despite what seems to be the general thought, [b]it is not a total control stake EY has. 9W has solid leverage on their end as well.

yeah, true, but AI rules in Dilli, right.
Honestly, I don't know that well, this info is obviously unsubstantiated and partial knowledge is worse than no knowledge. _________________ Causal Determinism : We are hardwired to need answers.

My question had almost nothing to do with your precious Failga or their delicate 777s.
I wonder why EY would be willing to let 9W operate it as a 9W route and earn only 24% + codeshare revenue, when they can earn 100% (less proportional costs in both instances).
I would ask a similar question if it were a similar minority-ownership-but-total-control relationship between another pair of airlines.

(As to why JetFail still have a First product that's become more of a burden than a blessing is a whole other matter) |
Do note, EY is short of ULH planes for the expansion. With 9W deal they get AI B777LRs and kaboom ... LAX, DFW announced along with a second daily JFK and soon second daily ORD. Even if that means in 9W aircraft operating, but that is as good as EY operating.
EY has to catch up to Emirates and Qatar in terms of their network and buying airlines left, right and centre seems to be their strategy.
EY is more interested in market presence, even if that means someone else operating on their behalf. |

It seems it's impossible to remove the blue and yellow lenses. Have they been permanently implanted?

Oh I more or less agree with that, and most of what me111193 is saying in regards to this JFK dealie.
I'm just trying to understand the rationale behind:
- 9W operated by and for 9W on 9W aircraft (with an EY code plonked on it)
- EY operated by 9W on 9W aircraft (with a 9W code plonked on it) _________________ four years free of jetya punti! |
