It will be something we need to spin correctly or think through. It'll be suicide if its not a gate-to-gate transfer with no additional screening. Its been done for years, Allentown to EWR is a bus service for CAL and that is gate to gate.

PSA. Back in the days of mini-skirts on flight attendants.

Good point. They've talked about trying to get a "sterile" bus between the two airports but the TSA might not buy it these days. Not in New York. Maybe if we pay to have a TSA guy ride along?

Reading between the lines:

CVG is in trouble. The execs just don't want to admit it publicly.

I agree. We will have to wait to see what is announced when they travel up there.......:(

That would be a dream to get to SEA but I just dont see it getting junior enough for me, even on reserve.

I would agree.

Richard was here on Friday. Lots of JAL questions and questions from some not so happy CVG employees.

Something had to give.
DTW/CVG/MEM are just too close in proximity for all of them to survive as hubs.

I didn't go to the way back machine when I thought about that. Good thing I am typing on a Braille keyboard.

Yeah.. whatever happened to those kinds of advertising/marketing companies? You know.. the ones that came up with identities? I STILL have people saying to me "We love to fly, and it shows" (And they are not being sarcastic.)

Seems like outside of the national carriers like SWA and AirTran, the legacy carriers excluding UAL have pulled out of national television marketing that creates an identity. Billboards and banner adds seems to be prefered doesn't it?

I think there is a downside of advertising in that people love to rail on you "friendly skies huh?" or Delta is the airline of Disney World and we get renamed mickey mouse airlines. Dent an airplane and the media works real hard to redo your slogan.

But I do miss it. I think it sets the tone. When someone (management) calls you and says you're the best then chances are most people respond to prove that right.

I do know there are 2 schools of thought with marketing when it comes to logos, absolutely change them or don't ever ever change them. Look around, its interesting to see who has and who hasn't.
