Re: United Former CFO to Launch a New U.S. Budget Airline

Waste of tax dollars. Isn’t Greyhoud still in business?? Grehound is still in business but they have cut service to most small communities in order to compete with the more point to point, lower cost, competition.

It's now called the ORKA departure. Any routing that takes you Northwesterly/over LAS you get this routing. Westerly courses/ over PSP usually get the DOTTS departure, which heads over the water and makes landfall over Seal Beach.

Nice $79 ow OAK-KOA via HNL for Tue.Wed in May. Almost just got for only shade under 4000 points.

WN pribably figured that like anywhere, slots are a valuable asset so they picked some up. But maybe they didn't get much/anything in return after all. Perhaps never was going to use them at all.....

Re: Horizon Air (QX) to Reveal Retro Livery on Q400

Well since QX only has had two liveries before current, those choices make sense. But only the red/orange scheme should count. Perhaps have one also in each carrier they boughtout as well. An Air Oregon brown/green would look interesting on a Q400.....

Fantastic to just increase/add arbitrary fees lol. May as well add a $1 to drive to front of terminal fee for the 'regular' folks, too. That'd bring in some cash. Seems lke as good as cash-grab as any, I guess.
