Good point....US flew PITMBJ for a few years before the hub closure. I always thought PITNAS and PITSTT were natural additions here, along with PITAUA, but US moved in a different direction, unfortunately. Even PITSJU only lasted from 1998 to 2002, IINM. EA flew it in the late 70s and early 80s on w...

About time. This is something that should've done a while ago after the Mint product proved to be a big success.
They served MOB from IAD in the late 80s and late 90s-early 2000s....ORDMOB lated till the mid-2010s, IINM, also.
Jump to postThese are all good points, though by leaving OW for Star, CX would gain access to UA’s network, which is particularly strong at SFO.

Jump to postIINM, Republic-backed Frontier wanted to refer to their regional ops as Frontier Lynx, including the Q400s they were using DEN, as the successor to Midwest Connect.
Jump to postYOW was served thru ORD and PHL mainly. It also had service to BWI, CLT, PIT, SYR and DCA on LUS. YWG was served tgru ORD with F100s in 1992 and YEG was served thru LAS and PHX on HP/US and DFW on AA.

Jump to postWhen it comes to destinations UA could add or re-add on the TATL front, I think it's more likely we see EWR-HAM flights return with the A321XLRs or 788s. I think the thing working against HAM is the fact that A++ probably already has 80%+ market share on US-HAM. Forgive the ignorance, but what is A...
