I think Piedmont might be in a better position than people think and those at Republic might want to be careful.

A lot of the routes from DCA and PHL to ALB, BTV, MHT, PWM, SYR, ROC, BUF, PIT, etc., could easily be put on a Q400 and save Airways a ton in fuel savings per year.

Just a point to ponder.

From AWAC management on a company forum

"US Airways does not have the ability to reduce our flying. Any changes to our contract would have to be through mutual agreement."

My company is definitely better than your company because we fly bigger planes, for smaller plane rates! BEAT THAT!

Amen!! We are not perfect but we should be safe. PSA is US Airways' cash cow. We make money. I believe any of the 50 seaters are going to need to be changed for larger AC but who know. That is my opinion and you know what those are like.

PDT wouldn't be flying the Q4 or ATR on the same low-yield routes, it would likely be longer stage lengths and higher yield markets than are served by the current Dash fleet.

That said, I'm glad to hear that we're turning a profit when you're jumpseating on us

The problem with this website is too few people can detect sarcasm.

"The problem with this website is too few people can detect sarcasm."

I think it's more of a problem with your posts than a problem with this website.

Some people use a sarcasim tag when they mean to be sarcastic. Other times, people flame away and then think putting a sarcasm tag at the end makes it all good. You have to be careful if you're going to go down that road.
