Re: PIA A320 (flight PK8303) crashes in Karachi

Mayday wouldn't necessarily be the first thing. The first rule of aviation is aviate, aviate, aviate. Fly the aircraft first, radio if you can after.

Re: Skywest parking at Salina and Central Wisconsin?

I can go check at COS, where the Skywest Facility is at is near my office and near the road. I can probably get some shots if anyone is interested.

Re: Airport numbers for the 1st quarter 2020

For COS: In March and April, COS experienced a significant downturn in air service due to a decrease in passenger traffic related to the coronavirus pandemic. In March, following two months of increases in January and February, COS enplaned 34,595 passengers, bringing the total passenger number for ...

Re: A380 P2F needed now !

Can do it on the same line as the AN-225 after being reengined and the 757NEO.

It makes no sense, cargo bulks out before it weights out. No sense in sending an A380, its a waste of lift for things like this. The 76X/77F are much better suited for the mission.

Re: US Airports Ranked by Load Factor

I wonder how much of high load factors at COS is military-related? Their #2 most popular route is a 20 minute flight to DEN. If you've ever had to drive COS-DEN, you'd take the flight in a heartbeat. By the time you add in the inflated price of parking at DIA, the headache of driving, the horrible ...

Re: Is Airbus hiding a new A322 business case behind the 100t+ A321XLR study? Numbers..

Some of the people replying in here that it would be a great idea were the exact same ones that were saying that the 75 was unacceptable because it was a single aisle, cramped for those distances, not built with all the amenities, etc are now the ones saying it is a great idea (fanboys I am guessing...

Re: Remaining AA MD80 ORD Routes 2018-19

COS lost theirs We are down to 73X's now. I miss her RON'ing and seeing her as the sun lifted on the mountains. Going to be a sad day when they are all gone.

Re: G4 ending COS

American reported an 85.7 percent load factor, followed by Delta at 84.4 percent, Frontier at 81.3 percent, United at 77.1 percent...

Re: What's next for COS?

You can get most places with a connection, even when I fly all over the US the plane time isn't much more than going to DEN for something. COS is cheaper, easier and more convenient to get to in the end.

Re: What's next for COS?

I like flying out of COS personally. Fast, easy and security is quick. We are starting to slowly get our lost service. We had service to MSP and CLT non-stop at one point and lost it. Would love to see some of the bigger cities come back on RJ's if necessary. (I miss the S80 though!)
