Priceless George! And so true. I wonder if they were on time or if we (they) had to call them four times and tell them we (they) were hanging out in the horseshoe.

Love that guy in the first picture at the top giving the "V" sign. Now that's a happy camper.

Obviously a non rev just being happy he got a seat.

Sounds like the rumors of Slot Swap approval are a bit premature. Any bets on whether our gangster government will approve it this time or will we have to give the new terminal to SWA?

They wouldn't have dropped the lawsuit unless they already had a wink and a nod from the DOT. We're into kabuki time. The govt will now come out with some other minor face saving "conditions" and Delta will complain but accept them.
This is a done deal.

Wonder why LCC said they can't make money at LGA.

WN will certainly complain that they are beanbag bullied.

Business fliers (like everyone else) enjoy free stuff. The frequent flyer program for an airline with a small minority of the traffic does not attract business for starters. Then the lack of connections and convenient schedules results in jet about every carrier being a better choice.

Did not know the term "bean bag bully" but our government did spend money on art which memorializes the term. Still don't know what it means.

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

Cheers

You are correct sir! I guess the connector they build will include an additional gate.

Does this mean LCC will be all but gone from LGA?

Here's what I'm seeing......

Also, US Airways will continue to offer its customers high-frequency schedules from LaGuardia to its Charlotte, N.C. and Philadelphia hubs and Pittsburgh with more than 60 daily weekday flights. *All US Airways flights from LaGuardia will continue to arrive and depart from nine gates and parking positions in Terminal C and US Airways will build a new, state-of-the-art 5,000-square foot US Airways Club.

Seems to me they will have some flights to their hubs.

Goldman ups its oil forecast...

Oil rises to near $99 as Goldman boosts forecasts - Yahoo! Finance

Oil prices inched up closer to $99 a barrel Tuesday after Goldman Sachs raised its crude forecasts on concern the shutdown of Libyan output will drain spare OPEC supplies.

By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark oil for July delivery was up 87 cents to $98.57 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In London, Brent crude for July delivery was up $1.15 to $111.25 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.

Goldman said it expects Brent will rise to $140 by the end of next year, higher than the investment bank's previous forecast of $120. A civil conflict in Libya has shut down almost all the country's 1.6 million barrels a day of oil production, and Goldman expects that loss to global supply will eventually push prices higher.
