So once again I’ll post:

They didn't have to tell you that the 590 is average for their LA to NY flights only.
If I told you that I flew faster than the speed of sound on a trip the other day, would that be a lie? Think about it. 
No reason the ad can't have a little note in very small print that says something to the effect of: Based on east bound routes longer than 750 miles.  |
Of course..........if you qualify the statement...........anything can become the truth.
I take it at face value...........
fleet average.
On that basis, it's
untruthful.
I took a DC-10 from LA to NY. Total time wheels up to wheels down was 4:10. 2451 miles at an average speed of 589 mph. I still can't believe it and I was on it.
