Jump to postI feel B6 needs to return to its roots and its original core structure that made the airline wants was under Dave. Operating secondary markets to places like JFK, BOS, MCO and FLL really put B6 on the map. They were unique and different and gave those of us in the suburbs a really wonderful experien...
Jump to postThe panty twisting here is unreal. The airport is not rebranding as San Francisco/Oakland. It’s rebranding as San Francisco BAY/Oakland. The airport itself lies on the SF Bay and the runway extends into the SF Bay. I don’t understand the drama. People love something to whine about too much these days.
Jump to post1 - I have family in the LA area and also Boston. Before the pandemic, JetBlue flew BUR-BOS and were up to 2x/day. Now it's gone. Any chance for a return? 2 - I remember JB constantly violating the LGB curfews. Yet somehow WN has stepped in and seems to be doing well with a lot of flights. And peop...
Jump to postWhat’s the plan with WN and IAH? What a mess that operation is. I flew out of there the day United took the MAX8 off-roading. But boy that little ground level terminal add-on they are in sure can’t handle more than one flight at a time. It’s an absolute madhouse and the boarding process an absolute ...
Jump to postView From The Wing reports that a big announcement is coming on major cuts or even closure of the West Coast operation (LAX), leaving just the key BOS, JFK, FLL markets. This really comes as no surprise if it is true. The shift from Long Beach to Los Angeles happened during the pandemic, but even w...

My brother who works at SFO informed me about this that just happened, and that a main gear wheel departed the aircraft bouncing into the employee parking lot taking out a handful of parked cars.
It should be scrapped. The MAX program has been a total disaster. Boeing needs to decide whether it wants to be a plane maker with the best and most qualified engineers and staff, or if it wants to be a cash cow for investors and ROI. They should eat crow, kill the entire program starting with the 1...

Jump to postHas Burbank ever had a direct flight to Hawaii on any airline? Is that even possible with the runway being so short? Modern planes today, such as the NEOs and the A220(If they were ETOPS certified), could make a flight to Hawaii due to their field performance, can't they? I wonder why no one has tr...
Jump to postFLYFIRSTCLASS wrote:I am super happy they are keeping ground boarding! Historical question, has there ever been any scheduled widebody airplanes at BUR? A lightly loaded 767 should have been able to do it.
I’m sure we will see some more new service and new entrants once complete as this will be the most beautiful secondary airport in So-Cal.
The current facility is cramped with very few concessions and amenities so this will be a huge draw to flyers aren’t the LA basin.
Could ONT work as a hub? Also, what about building AUS and turning it into a significant hub, or is the lack of aircraft the main issue? And a Random question, but can the 321NEO with MINT land at BUR due to the short runway? BUR has a lot of wealth not too far from it, and I think a MINT flight fr...
Jump to postI'd imagine Avelo and the DL mainline additions this summer have made gate space at the times that connect to hubs much harder to come by. Even DEN is only 1x. Daily right now.
