Re: EasyJet’s reactivated A319s

I could be wrong, but I don’t think UA even scrapped any of the former U2 birds.

The insiders in the UA threads said that UA was serious about taking in at lea...

It's OK in that the (non-refundable) fare is $81. If it had to go to $150 or more without subsidy, then the takers would be far fewer.

Re: Gallup NM air service

In August, it averaged 4.5 pax/flight; in September, 5.3 pax/flight. This is okay-ish if NM is okay with subsidizing it long term. Pretty questionable if they're trying to wean it off subsidy any time soon. However I don't think tge economics of the King Air work as an airliner unsubsidized so that...
