Satch... Probably so. :(

Just imagine if yahoos like me bid it so as to be able to drop all my trips and pick up in ATL!

Btw, any word on a gate-to-gate bus service connecting LGA to JFK? As in inside security the whole drive? There was word that was being discussed.

A, I'm senior to you and about 3 or 4 other people.

B, TSA will NEVER allow that kind of freedom.

Those Mercedes trucks must be stout, they don't even look like they're stressing under the load. If those were Hondas they wouldn't have even been made to carry their own weight much less a load of any type.

I don't know. The new Honda bus has got that whole roll-over thing pretty well figured out. :D

I think you misread...

Keep D and the Skyclub in D
Keep the MAT
Add the USAir terminal and build a bridge


This is a much better agreement for Delta than even the original agreement from 2009...

Expect the AE when it's approved

I guess USAir has plans that requirer fewer USAir owned gates at LGA now and doesnt need the MAT but is in need of cash...
I guess the AA terminal is just up the road;)

My mission isn't to screw you over, it's that I'd be so junior on ATL 73N B so the work around is to bid NYC 73N B and if we ever got base swaps then I could jump almost 1,000 numbers in ATL and hold a line here! :D Which means I will end up doing something that will...

As for TSA, they did allow an Allentown to Newark bus run for Continental, gate-to-gate inside security. I guess if security is compromised the bus drops everyone off at the terminal.

Correction, just looked it up. They're still doing it today, its $1100! :eek:

I was always told it leaves from a real gate but evidently it doesn't out of ABE but it does out of EWR.

You know with GPS and video monitoring stuff TSA could probably monitor a bus the entire way.

You know we could do a helicopter LGA-JFK service...

Except, take a CRJ-200, cut the wings and tail off, and fly it over via a butt ugly helicopter.

Very nice Carl! :D

But those look to roomy to be owned by an airline... I expect something along these lines:

Those certainly look like more than 76 seats. Mainline?

Also, am not sure if that one guy is wearing a seat belt. :D

This might explain why I smell tuna when the flight attendants open the coffee packs. I call it Starkist Coffee, but it's probably just my puffy shirt, or something I left in my dreds. :D
