You would think the Feds could have waited until the 1R construction project is done (end October of this year) to pop this on us. UA is gonna have to reduce aircraft movements significantly in order to keep to any kind of on-time performance. Hopefully that starts with the RJs. But still. Just lousy news.
SFO is F’d. You’re right this is gonna be a huge thorn in the side of UALs operation there. Permanently.
Early 2010’s there was a whole plan to add a third runway, the airport authority was gonna buy back and rehab 200% of the land they would’ve needed to take, gave the tree huggers everything they asked for, still got shot down. Good luck getting anything done in the bureaucratic nightmare. SFO is cooked.
