Well, this is my first-ever long-haul out of Charlotte since…ever, really. Anyways, on to the history. Charlotte was originally the main operating base for local carrier Piedmont Airlines, which at the time it was acquired by USAir was operating Boeing 767-200ERs to London-Gatwick. USAir rebranded as U.S. Airways and developed Charlotte into a major transatlantic hub, a PHL of the South. Like Philadelphia, American inherited and has expanded its international operations from Charlotte. Here’s the flight with the shorter, more numerous member of the AA 777 fleet.

My guess is that he wants to do it on 5x, so it could be done faster

Well, if you must know, it’s because I have a veey busy schedule between college, trying to find a job for next year, and trying to find an apartment, I only have so much mental bandwidth to spare for servers full of people who’d make my blood boil on a good day. It also allows me to tweak the weather conditions and time to allow me to get flights accurate almost to the minute. Also, what in the world is 5x? I was unaware that there was anything that allowed you to fly 5 times faster than normal.
