The back story for the Constellation is excellent....Lots of history.
Jump to postwow, AS finally made some changes! Regarding EWR adds by UA, isn't EWR supposedly de facto slot constrained for parts of the day now? Or is that just made up? Either way, that's a lot of additional capacity coming online. That appears to be 15 net new RTs for November. That is odd. I wonder if they...
Jump to postSo is this possibly going to be a "Skybus" II? They seemed to have been the last ULCC airline who mainly focused on secondary airports in major metro areas ala RyanAir or Easyjet. Certainly hubbing in Houston would be a better choice than Columbus was. The real issue is which secondary air...
Jump to postThe American flying public is opposed to the "puddle jumper". The same American flying public who in smaller towns wishes they had more frequency. In the 90s in my town and towns like many others, we had nearly hourly flights to the hubs on 19-30 seat turboprops (J31s, BE1s, SWM, SF3, EM2...

No.. Anything traded would go to ISP. If anything AA would do ACY-DCA, ACY-CLT.. Except the Port Authority has nothing to do with ISP. ACY does. I don't believe ACY is still managed by the Port Authority. That happened fairly recently, probably in the aftermath of the UA Port Authority scandal. Acc...

Jump to postBHX & MAN have been year round from pre merger sCO days. With the aging of the 757 fleet, I wonder what the plan is going forward with the secondary European cities as the 757 begins to retire? Widebody or cut? Unless UA purchases the A321NEO I don't see how they can continue to serve some of th...

Jump to post"business plan" Right... if it was anyone else I might be inclined to wait and see. But with an ongoing 20 year hoax, I have little reason not to be skeptical. Frankly if it was a new endeavor, they simply should have just cut all ties with anything "Baltia" related. I can't imag...
Jump to postThe best part is the "new" web site acts as if its a new start-up carrier, rather than an ongoing 20 year scam.
Jump to postReading the story in the paper as well as on the web site, they seem to want to be a combination charity/redevelopment/public assistance program disguised as an airline.

Jump to postEven though Kirby has stated publicly that he's skeptical of the A350 deal and the need for the aircraft in UA's fleet, he did state he was a big fan of the A321... it's possible they may go with more 77W and swap the A350's for A321's, unless they're willing to wait for a new Boeing MOM, to replace...
Jump to postGot stuck in the middle of that a few months ago after they demolished the parking garages. Took over an hour just to get to the rental car area by the Marine Air Terminal.

Jump to postThis is a big get for IAD. Fills a glaring hole in the route map. There is a huge S. Asian population around IAD, no doubt they will be pleased to have a nonstop option.

Jump to postI'd be interested to see how long UA keeps IAH/HAV around. It is only once a week, but I'm pretty sure it has to suffer from the over exuberance plaguing these other cities besides MIA, NYC

I assume the FLL-IAD is a reaction to UA starting FLL again. They could have had a monopoly but didn't bother.
Jump to postHmm. With WN coming to CVG, the CVG-WAS market is awfully crowded with UA at IAD, AA at DCA, and DL and G4 at BWI. I wonder if one of them will have to leave the market.
