Wow, I hope that is not true. What an unfortunate move.

Meanwhile they are adding 30 new routes....... Not sure where they are getting the gates, but looks like a big boost in EWR and PHL.

Not something I wanted to see either. Very sad.

Now these are the moves I wanted to see. Hope they keep getting aggressive in the right markets.

Delta guy here: our ALV range is 72-84 for NB, and 71-85 for WB.

Our RES guarentee is ALV-2, but never < 72, never > 80

65 is the lowest end of the line construction window for REG pilots

Southwest Airlines opened that door on November 3.

Welcome to the world of ULCC. It’s wonderful, gate agents that have no accountability or desire to do a good job. People who have worked for B6 for 15-20 years now asked to work for a contractor for half their pay. Fun times. More like NK everyday. Sorry guys.

I guess those days are soon over.

When I was at my Express carrier that was too common. Like RIC, RDU and even Akron. One time we waited 30 to 40 mins in BUF and Akron. Just sitting there burning through fuel with frustrated customers in the cabin. It was very refreshing to see in-house AO/GO when I started here, even saying to myself this is how a real operation works with rampers and gate agents always being there, now it seems it's going away for some of the smaller presence airports.
