NYC needs better transportation to its EXISTING airports, and a full renovation for each of them. At least the renovation is coming for LGA. There are already plenty of airports between NY and Philly, but developing them won’t solve congestion in the sky. What we need is for airlines to decrease fr...
Jump to postIt's no secret who is using the ~4,000 daily airspace slots at LGA EWR JFK. It's a very solvable set of information. The truth is the reliable capacity is more like 3,200. So carriers need to move the same traffic with 3,200 daily movements and reliability will be solved (I am forgetting TEB and PH...
Jump to postNYC doesn't need another airport, maybe a more efficient one would be better. IMO the airspace is so congested between NYC and PHL. Maybe they could close one or two of the NYC airports and run a high speed train to BDL and expand BDL to handle more and larger aircraft. The airspace and airPORTS se...

Jump to postI would say that ORD already is a mostly domestic hub. Not to the extent of CLT or PHX, but pretty much at the level of PHL or close to it. I'd be interested to see what AA plans to do with a whopping 47 new 787's. I do not see the current fleet being retired any time soon so the question has to be...
Jump to postLGA is a heavily used airport that is getting extremely big value from its real estate. There are plenty of useless facilities in the world, but LGA is a very useful facility that helps people every day.
Jump to postThe public (some of them) voted for Trump and he has a certain amount of authority. This falls within his authority. This is silly but why not?

Jump to postNothing can ever replicate the A-4. They had little choice in this. An air show with the f-35 would be quite dull. T6 or some super Tucano would be cool tho. F-35: "Ladies and gentlemen, the F-35 is 80 miles away and has identified his targets and launched guided munitions." "Ladies ...

Jump to postDelta tries to stick to routes where they have an advantage.
DL's hubs can hold their own against AA's core hubs. DL's focus cities cannot. SEA is the only one that has any likelihood. And it would not make money.
How much do you have to hate your wife to go fully 9/11 on her??? What a loser.
Jump to postI mean you're right, the FBI played a major part in getting Trump elected. That was inappropriate. And it's also inappropriate to communicate on your FBI device that you are plotting against a president or president-elect, unless it is part of an FBI investigation. Which frankly, it shouldn't be, b...

Jump to postAccording to Aer Lingus, the airline has stated their list of possible adds for 2019 includes PIT, YUL, and a midwestern city. Not sure if they intend to add CLT.

Jump to postI flew CI's 747 SP several times from SFO to TPE, which was at the time the only nonstop from the mainland US to Taiwan.

Jump to postAA is fine. Lots of debt, yes. I’d imagine they’ve paid some off with recent earnings. B6 and AS are in trouble if you go by their logic. I would agree with your last sentence.
