On many of our trips, troops carry their unloaded firearms in the cabin. I don't think that is doable on DAL/KAL.
Not on the Patriot Express. That was a regular flt that went to stateside pax terminals, no weapons.
Yeah it was cheaper to fly NWA/Korean, but it was very convenient for a family. How easy was it to board a flt at the base? Now a family of 4 has to load up in a little van or bus to the regional airport, transfer, fly up to Korea or Japan and then push the strollers through those airports. Its been crazy from what I've heard.
Word is its coming back! Lets hope! Rumor is a new F/A class this winter, perhaps another hint.
