#3. If you want to fly to Pacific and Asia from EWR/New York area, we do have a direct flights and don't have to connect in SFO, or LAX. Have you heard about airplanes that fly nonstop for 16 hours; and don't have to land in Kansas City or Denver to refuel.
#4. As every pilot in this company, you know how to run this airline, then why are you still a line pilot?
I don't care how they doing it, as long as we make money, stay profitable, lower competition and monopolize city pairing. Why fly out of JFK with the most expensive fees, slots, and the busiest airspace, if we have a hub just few miles away, that we rule and occupy in 80% with much lower operating cost?
No competition for slots with DAL, AA, VA, and JetBlue, which BTW delivers much more superior service on new A321, than UAL B757PS with planes from 80S.
Uhhh...ok, it's obvious you have never flown PS and have never ridden on one of the PS planes. Cheap tickets, these were not.
Not listening, almost none of the PS passengers will go to EWR to fly, so any argument about increased service to the customers is a non starter. These people are the original jet-setters and do what they want and pay exorbitant prices to get what they want. Spoiled and high maintenance, yes.
There is no comparison mainline service to PS, so unless you have experienced it, it's hard to talk to you about it.
