The 757s are just a placeholder schedule.

Today’s schedule is a placeholder schedule?
That doesn’t even make sense. 757s are also showing on the ATC flight trackers.

Well I stand corrected. All of my Nov and Dec trips were changed to 757s in July and reverted back to "normal" aircraft two weeks ago. I just assumed that same logic applied to September (!?) of all times. Why the heck do we all-of-a-sudden have more 757s on this route than EVER before during a period of near record low demand...to Pittsburgh...in September?

For example PIT-HOU had over 96% load factor... but will remain 1x weekly until Jan then dropped altogether.
The 1x weekly PIT-DAL flight gets dropped early next month. Neither HOU or DAL are scheduled to return in the current booking window which was just extended.
CMH-AUS was initially announced with the same crappy schedule PIT-AUS has, yet with the latest schedule extension CMH will gain daily service. Not here; it's just another example of how over-hyped the tech industry is in Pittsburgh when it comes to air service. It amounts to next to nothing in the overall picture. PIT-SFO, which was to resume any day now as of just a few weeks ago? Gone until Feb, and I'm sure that's just a placeholder at that point.

Yeah its like they think if they add another flight the LF will be cannibalized and it must only be 96% because of the 1x weekly.
flyPIT wrote:Ok but why drop it though? Only F9 drops routes from PIT with 96% LFs lol. I know both DAL and HOU are primarily business routes as far as O&D and that sector remains depressed but there are plenty of connecting opportunities at each. WN has stated they will be filling in most of their cut routes in the next year… but they drop two key routes here while adding in similar markets. They have shown they are willing to commit to growing in markets, such as operating empty airplanes between HNL-ITO 4 times a day with junk fares. They’ve never displayed such commitment here. It’s a shame, PIT-HOU was 2x daily at one point. Only thing I can think of is lack of potential in this market in their eyes, so assets are allocated elsewhere.

Delta flight from BOS-PIT was evacuated in BOS after a small fire starts in a passengers carry-on bag. Unknown what caused the fire (im guessing a battery?)

I would think the public relations staff would realize promoting a private event to the public might not be the right thing to do.
Just issue the press release and some pictures after the event is over.

WN is currently operating PIT-DAL nonstop service on Sundays through Fridays and PIT-HOU nonstop service on Sundays.
WN also has daily PIT-DAL nonstop service back in the schedule starting on 3/12/2022 through the end of its current schedule (which currently goes through 4/24/2022).
flyPIT wrote:I was just thinking about Sun Country and PIT yesterday. Seasonal 2x weekly service might not sound like much… but with this addition plus Breeze PIT will be served by every significant US passenger carrier other than Hawaiian (one can hope).
As I stated a few months ago Sun Country already serves PIT with casino charters, sports charters, and 2x daily for Amazon. Great to see them finally add scheduled flights to round out their local operation. With such a limited schedule they leave plenty of room for future growth, as they are now doing elsewhere such as at CVG and IND.
