In their "Northern Hemisphere RJ," SkyWest flys 3 to 4 flights a day (depending on days of the week) DFW-SFO.....THAT's the kinda segment that needs to STOP!!
Per the 2012 stats, UAL flys a 70 Seat RJ multiple times a day from the 9th (DFW)---->12th (SFO) Largest City in the Nation?
GMAFB.....Just another example as to how SCOPE needs to be brought in check, NOW.
Great Scott! You guys sound like 172 private pilots telling seasoned 747 Captains how to land the 747 in a strong Xwind!
COS is a small city. It's a long thin route to IAD that is effective on a CR7 currently but not on a A319. Maybe if United stimulates the market enough demand will bump up to a A319 or A320.
SFO to DFW is an A319 at peak times during the day, and CR7 during off peak.
Please just fly the plane and let the corporate folks worry about marketing....
