Whatever happened to the WN RDU-SJC flight that was supposed to start June 2019?
Jump to postIf you look back at USAir....they are where JetBlue is now. The name "USAir" was too "regional" sounding. So to become more of a dominant "world Class airline", they rebranded to US Airways. I beleive JetBlue needs to tweek their brand/imge just a bit to market themsel...
Jump to postThis announcement does nothing to offset the need to fly or drive to CLT, ATL or IAD and connect on a real airline that has biz traveler perks. Give us a DL or UA announcement for a change.
Jump to postRDU-BHM is not an uncommon route.. places I also see from their route map they can do is MEM, CAE, and Tallahassee... RDU-TLH is a good one. There's no direct driving route from RDU to there or to other parts of the Florida Panhandle (you have to do two sides of a triangle through Jacksonville on I...
Jump to postJAX may be the surprise success in this group followed by ISP. JAX can be driven in 6 hours. Compare that to 30 minutes to drive to RDU, getting to the airport 1 1/2 hours early, followed by a flight that will be blocked at 1 hour, followed by a 45 minute commute from JAX to your destination in Jac...
Jump to postReally hoping we get some real airlines adding real (i.e., almost daily) routes instead of this ultra-LCC dart board stuff that business travelers can't hang their hats on at all that seemed to pervade 2018. Otherwise connecting through (or driving to) CLT, ATL or IAD is just too convenient to put u...
Jump to post[list=][/list] RDU-SJC is my most frequent domestic route. But once a week on weekend is of no use to me. I need a daily, at least weekday flight. I think most people on this route is like me. This is a business route. If DL can step up and offer it, it'll be the best. It would be my most frequent ...
Jump to postWould have rather seen DL or AS begin RDU-SJC daily than WN on a weekly flight. Also once per week on Saturday as a test route is not going to expose this route to the best utilization. It’s not a test route in a vacuum but competes against RDU-SFO on UA and AS with multiple frequencies daily. Satu...
Jump to postFrontier just added nonstops from RDU to Montego Bay, Jamaica, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Fort Myers, West Palm Beach, Cancun and Phoenix..

Does anyone have an official press release from the NTSB confirming the passenger's status? :crying: All I see is something on CNN saying that the NTSB has confirmed one death from the incident. The live NTSB press event where this was announced just ended a few minutes ago, I imagine you'll only s...
Jump to postAs much as I love animals they belong at home not on planes. If you have a genuine health issue and have a certified service dog that’s one thing.

Jump to post“Charlotte is the third-largest hub on earth and is extremely successful. Its success comes from creating unique connections that no hub can quite match — think Jacksonville, N.C., to Roanoke.” Perhaps not the best example for Raja to use.

Jump to postMaybe because I’ve been often enough to know it’s LA with hula dancers. “Hundreds, if not thousands” of vacationers do not a 16+hour route make. That said, 142,000 out of 450 million isn’t enough to justify very expensive operating costs for VFR low-yield traffic. GF Doesn't sound like you've been ...

Jump to postNow this CNN "meteorologist" is saying there was a "storm system in the path of the flight path." He then points to a storm over the Alps that the plane successfully navigated. Now he's talking about the tall mountains there.
Jump to postMary Schiavo: "There are conflicting reports that this could be a 737-800, maybe an Airbus . . .". Is it beyond her to get a definitive answer?
Jump to postThis David Soucie character on CNN isn't much better. He's talking about the potential of the plane avoiding weather (has he checked the weather conditions) and climbing too high outside its operational framework (a quick check of any flight tracker would tell him it was steady at 37k for a long whi...

Jump to postThese CNN aviation "experts" seem like idiots. How are they relying on/waiting for a tweet to know that the plane was at 37k altitude when fightradar24 was showing that from the get-go?
Jump to postNow CNN saying it was a 737-800. That's just incorrect, right? It was A320 this flight.
