BA operated LAX in 1994-1995 with the 767, loads were excellent, yeilds were not :rolleyes:

UA could use SFO as they use ORD with bmi. SFO is a busling UA hub so it could, and should work with a 767, AA could do LAX no problem i’m sure!

Quite right, the BA loads were good, but yields not, which is the typical problem out of MAN. HOWEVER BA also suffered degredation of service on hot days and often had to offload pax and freight on hot summer days because the 767s couldn’t do the non-stop west coats route fully laden when the temperature was too great from the MAN runway. This problem would apply to AA or UA operating 767s to LAX or SFO, but bmi would possibly be ok with A330s which have better performance in this respect. Having to offload freight upsets the forwarders and clients, but offloading passengers is really bad news and always better avoided.
