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.

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

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! 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!

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.

Those certainly look like more than 76 seats. Mainline?

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