Thanks, I just read it on the DALPA forum and I was going to post it here...then I remembered that little blurb on DL Net about not lifting stuff from there...

So, yeah, the Shuttle is going RJ. BUT, they said there will be enough A320 departures to make up the lost flying, with more of them out of JFK. They said since the High Speed Acella train came on like, shuttle pax boardings are off by more than 50%.

Here's their route map, look out, PHL and DCA will be next! http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/Conten...=1241245664867

I believe EWR is over a swamp too.

One day when I was at Coex I made the run from Terminal C to A to catch an ATL flight. I missed the first one but was waiting for the second when I noticed the 737 had stopped on the middle of the ramp after push back. Soon stairs were sent to the airplane and then people got off the airplane and began walking in. The right main had fallen into the pavement. For weeks there was a cone in the hole to let you know don't go there.

I can't remember if I got out of EWR that day or not. I probably did. It's all a blur.

And you KNOW why they call Laguardia, "La Garbage", right?

That airport was built over a garbage dump/land fill.

Ayah, if youa from up round theya, everything that ends with an R goes to an A, and anything that ends with an A, goes to R, so it all works out in the end, no A's or R's are being outsourced, or I should say, 'Outsauced'!

And remember, when you are in NYC,

"Hello" is pronounced, "Hey ****** YOU!"

And "Have a Nice day" is;

"Yeah? Well ****** YOU TOO!"
