Got an email today from US Airways urging DM members to sign their petition to support their DOT application for PHL-PEK service. On the website, which I linked below, there is some detail about their proposal including the fact that they intend to operate with A340-300s configured 42/227 (and using flight number 888 of course). I had heard some speculation US was interested in Air Canada's A345s, but apparently they would go for the -300 model. I can't speak to the merits of this China route vs. other applicants, but I do know I'd like to see an A340 flying with an N-registration!
