Jump to postI know i've asked this in the past, but why do we have ZERO nonstop PIT-NAU service? Even on a charter! CLE has season to NAU i believe, yet we have nothing. I miss the days of taking nonstop charters to Aruba, etc... Sad what we are left with now.

Jump to postSpirit Airlines is really frustrating me with their schedule changes. I usually book within a week of travel on them, but I am heading out to LAS in January (i go 2-3 times per year) and decided to book early so I can guarantee my Big Front Seat.

Jump to postPersonally I am a BIG fan of Spirit. When I fly on them, i always opt for the "Big Front Seat" when possible. I don't go out of my way to fly on them, but when my options are a nice non-stop on Spirit or a connecting flight on a major, I will take Spirit anyday.
Jump to postI could be wrong, but having just been through this recently, I think it depends on what actually happens to the flight. For example, our flight was EWR bound, but diverted to CLT. On the ground in Charlotte, we were parked at a gate, but forbidden from exiting the aircraft. Ultimately, the flight w...

As far as blame, not much. They have nothing to do with the region’s sagging economy and population loss. But that does not mean she should be making over $800,000 per year. As far as increasing passenger numbers I’d advertise the hell out of NE OH, and invest in a company such as Silver or Ravn in...

Looks like PIT-ORD had two Fokker 100 and one Eagle ATR-72 at April 30, 1995 - then 4x ERJ-145s begin May 20, 1999. The thought of doing PIT-ORD on an ATR-72 or a Saab 340 so...

I think PIT will come out ok. Let’s face it, there is nothing for F9 to cut. NK on the other hand….

Jump to postUpon hearing the news of Frontier buying Spirit, I think it is safe to say (based on history) that PIT will have even less options now. Frontier loves to cut PIT, so anything we currently have on NK will soon be gone. Let's keep giving Mrs. C these huge bonuses though!
