Happy New Year everyone.

I am not expecting much new service wise at BNA in 2022, mainly due to construction. BNA will be down to just 40 gates come May/June and will stay that way until the new IAB and satellite opens in 2023. Let’s hope construction stays on track and doesn’t get delayed by supply chain issues.

What are your predictions for the year?

Shakinthefat · Fri Dec 31, 2021 10:25 pm

I predict BNA police will have their hands full escorting drunk and belligerent passengers. My hope in 2022 the NTSB and FAA would be remove all alcohol from planes. BNA had multiple 2021 events with scheduled flights, diverted flights and terminal misbehaving passengers.

I’m sure how removing alcohol from aircraft would make any difference. Even before COVID, it was virtually impossible to get drunk to the point of stupidity on board.

The two largest carriers at Nashville, with a combined >70% of the traffic, already don't serve alcohol on board to the vast majority of passengers (AA does offer it in first - but are these recent incidents happening in F?). The carriers can take care of this themselves without additional regulation if they want.

The problem isn't alcohol on the airplane. It is Alcohol in the Gate area bars, and the drive in to the airport. How do you propose to regulate that?

Was on the employee shuttle a week or two back when Bar B Cutie opened and the owner told us BNA required them to sell alcohol even though the other store/stores they owned didn’t sell a drop of alcohol.

That cannot possibly be true. Many (most?) of the new concessions do not sell alcohol.

That’s exactly what she told me, take it for what it’s worth. She said that the other stores they own do not sell alcohol but they were required to sell it at the BNA location. Not sure if it was a condition for getting into the airport or not. Just passing on info I got from her.

I could see an airport saying this location is going to be for a restaurant with alcohol sales. So to be able to open you had to agree to sell it or they would have had different restaurant/bar go in there.

I guess, but that food court historically has not had alcohol other than the Tennessee Brew Works “island,” and the C food court, another food court that traditionally has not had alcohol, has at least a couple dry restaurants: Pyramids and the juice bar. Isn’t Swett’s dry too?

Oh it is quite possible to get stupid drunk on an airplane. I've sat next to people that have done it.

Wow… alcohol does have a more powerful effect on the body at higher altitudes. Feel free to research. In my 30 yrs as a airline pilot most incidents onboard were alcohol related. Multiple diverts and multiple taxi turn backs and delayed flights.
Luckily thru FA training they could moderate the amount of liquor poured. Took away free mini’s handouts helped. Airline lounge personnel finally got training on serving Inebriated customers. But people show up at the airport lit and go directly to bar.

Got me….I was just offering an opinion on predictions for BNA 2022…..TSA has a lot of good sniffer employees just ask crew members who’ve been fingered with alcohol smell….maybe impose a LARGE fine if legally drunk on the plane, definitely a safety issue.

Oh, there are plenty of people who are stupid drunk on airplanes. It’s just pretty hard to get stupid drunk on an airplane if you start out totally sober. The problem drinking typically starts way before boarding.

The fastest I’ve drunk on a plane was 3 or 4 drinks on an OKC-STL segment (it’s a much longer story) and I was nowhere near causing a problem despite the very irregularly quick drinking.

3-4 drinks can effect people differently, some sleep, some mumble to themselves, some talk and annoy seat mate, some get belligerent, some get feisty.
How about OKC-MIA maybe 3-4 more drinks, what type personality would the flight crew have to deal with?

I could see F9 and NK adding flights and locations. WN will be limited until they start receiving MAX7’s but the ULCC’s have lots of aircraft on order. The demand will increase as omicron passes so someone will take advantage.

WN has a lot of aircraft time parked in places (e.g., ORD) where it seems unlikely that they are making money. So I’m not sure that WN’s fleet limitations preclude growth that makes economic sense at BNA or similar stations.

Again, the issue is gates. MNAA has stated they will limit new gate requests until the satellite and the IAB opens late next year. It’s gonna be tight until then.

Right. That has nothing to do with the certification timeline on the 3M7.

Allegedly HA has been showing interest to the MNAA after their success in AUS and MCO. I can confirm the MNAA CEO did go to Hawaii this past fall, but no idea if it was for business or leisure. Not sure if the flight could be supported with the current facilities. Maybe use the BA departure gate, or A6. Who knows.

Gating a 332 shouldn't be a huge deal. It can fit in at least one C gate and a couple of B gates. A6 is sub-optimal because of the small holdroom down at the end of A.

I'm still not convinced the demand is there for HNL, though.

Even more when AA ends the CLT route to HNL. That only leaves ATL with a nonstop route to HNL in the SE.

The report on ending the CLT route was lack of passengers during the week and the need to use the 772 for TATL during summer of '22 because of the lack of 787s.

There's a big difference between 3 or 4 drinks on a 1 hour flight, by the end of which the drinker hasn't even gotten all that alcohol into his/her bloodstream and is about to be someone else's problem, and 8 drinks on a 3 hour flight, especially if that person isn't eating. The latter person is very likely going to be extremely intoxicated and it's a problem the crew should have seen coming. You don't serve someone a sixth drink in 2.5 hours if they're getting sloppy before that.

True, but there are also nonstops from ORD, IAH, and DFW, all of which are a short hop away from BNA. Plus tons of connections through multiple west coast hubs on multiple airlines, including WN.

Not only does there have to be enough demand for Hawaii (likely HNL) in general, but there also have to be enough travelers willing to forego their elite status and FF miles/points on their respective carrier of choice to fly HA. That's likely a deal-breaker for me.

I'm not saying a HNL nonstop a few times a week won't happen eventually, but I don't think it's the foregone conclusion some on here seem to assume.

The airport has shut down the employee shuttles, forcing employees to pay to park and charging said employees instead of re-activating the SIDA badge readers at the garage and allowing employees to park for free.

They can barely keep the equipment for revenue passengers working at the garage gates; I wouldn't count on the SIDA badge readers working even if allegedly active.

VS is launching AUS. Assuming they stay afloat and expand, I could see them at BNA at some point in the future, but probably not until the latter half of this decade at the soonest.

Two more years and BNA will finally have a decent IAB facility that can better attract widebody/international flights.

AUS is a hot market, but I feel like something will eventually bust there.

Flew out of BNA with UA on Friday. Quite the experience.

Appreciate the snow was heavy (by Nashville standards) on Thursday, but to still be so affected 24 hours later? Just one catering outlet open for the whole of A&B concourses. And it had to be the sushi bar. Ugh.

It was scheduled for summer of 20 I believe. Not sure if that's still the plan. A lot can happen in the next few months.
