There is one simple solution to LGA.... Dash 8s! ON FLOATS!
I'd have to do that every other year...commute be durned.

I'd bid it!

I always thought the 757 would make a great float plane too!

Ugly afternoon in DTW today (and subsequently equally as ugly at CMH and CLE). What a cluster.

Ugh, we endured a 3 + hour ground stop last night going ATL-LGA. Blocked in at 150 am. Didn't even bother going to my crash pad as I had a 600 am jumpseat. Feel real sharp right now.

Hey, I wonder if we still have the old PAA flying boat rights. They could dock at the MAT like in the old days.

Ya! Tell me about it! We held for almost an hour and diverted to TOL. Gassed up at the FBO and tried again. Worked out OK, though, and made a little extra money.

You don't need floats, just a gear-up, flamed-out A320.

I hear it's an easy procedure, once.
