No more Dash 8's or saabs out of LGA in the future... you may keep them, but they will not be flying out of LGA.
Maybe out of IAH, but the Northeast is going to see a major USA reduction.

The port authority which runs lga made it clear a couple of years ago they wanted anything below 50 seats out of lga. They feel this will reduce congestion in the ny airspace.

The announcement on the hub saidthat among other cities they are cancelling service to cho, ith, mht, mvy, hya, and ack. So no more 9L in lga

In my opinion 9L will be done in LGA at the beginning of next year. I believe we only have around 4 to 6 Saabs flying in there anyway (someone correct me if I’m wrong). As for 9L not flying for US Airways anymore, I really doubt that. We have EAS routes that go to BOS so either they will continue to operate those as US Airways express, or, they will continue to operate that independently. I'm sure that the extra Saabs from the LGA closure will find a home in IAD, IAH, or BOS flying. That is just my educated guess.

Joe Williams, director of public relations for for Colgan Air, said the Manchester flights are profitable as far as he knows. "I have checked and, no, those are strong routes and we are committed to those markets and plan to fly them," Williams said yesterday" "But US Airways Express service to Hyannis, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard will not be affected, said Joe Williams, a spokesman for Pinnacle Airlines, the parent company of Colgan Air, which operates the daily Cape and Islands flights to and from LaGuardia. "I checked with our scheduling group and their response was, 'No, we're not giving anything up on those routes,'" Williams said yesterday. "Those are strong routes for us."" Make what you will, but sounds like PNCL doesn't think too highly of US Airways' decision. Delta codeshare for CJC? Probably not. |

And I would highly doubt a code share with Delta, they dont want props. LGA-MHT could be run with an RJ... I bet this will be one of the new Delta cities out of LGA. Along with BUF,ROC,SYR,BTV,PWM and points south of LGA also. Just a guess |

This is a very typical Pinnacle response to news like this... even though Us Airways said they are going away Pinnacle says they will stay, I wouldnt read to much into that.

It's Joe Williams' job to make it seem like Colgan is invincible and doing everything right, so I wouldn't put too much faith in what he said. Keep in mind this is the same guy that has defended our scheduling practices saying that there is no cause for fatigue in our schedules...

That's all well and good, but what if LCC or Delta don't want or need Colgan to fly for them in LGA? |
