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.

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?

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.

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.
