So it is a fact or rumor, I am so confused. US is consolidating space with UA in LAX and SFO? Thanks.

US already uses the same terminal as UA in PHX.
There was a space-positive CCY employee on my flight from LAX-PHL this morning, who works in stores. He was in LAX determining what facilities they are going to have in Terminal 6. They are keeping the LAX hangar, but are going to be getting rid of a storehouse they rent from AA sometime around September when they antixxxxte a move to T6. I asked him about the 330 coming, and he thinks the earlist we will see it is sometime during the winter of 2004. There is going to be more expansion to Europe: Glasgow, Vienna, Zurich and 1 additional city he couldn't remember
A non-rev pilot on the same flight said that there are rumors of a deal in the works with UA to take some 757 (RR powered) and 767 aircraft from them. He also said that the 757 reconfiguartion will take place this fall.

Chip comments: RSA holds UA B767 & B757 EETCs and its uncertain whether or not David Bronner and Glenn Tilton will reach agreement on restructuring these deals. RSA could force UA to reject these leases and the aircraft could then be transferred to US. It is my understanding these former UA aircraft could be used for European and new South American service. Furthermore, today the Denver Post reported that UA could exit bankruptcy as early as the fourth quarter, Tilton said, but will probably wait until the second quarter of 2004. In my opinion, UA is having more difficulty exiting bankruptcy and as I have said before, the most likely company to obtain their assets, if they are disposed, is US because of the position of the US chairman of the board and the business partnership between the two companies.
Best regards,
Chip

My bet would be BCN or MXP if they can get the allocation.

Take a trip to SEA, this hasn't happened......
When is the move in SEA supposed to happen? I feel bad for folks making UA connections in SEA, especially now that SkyWest flights were just added. Also, given the evening arrivals seem to have issues arriving on-time (not one of mine has arrived on-time for weeks now), how are folks making connections faring?

I'm not sure why the move from the SEA South to North Satellite Terminal has not occurred, but it's been coordinated by Facilities.
Regardless, year-over-year US Airways is expanding transcontinental flying by 13% and yesterday Dave Siegel addressed West Coast operations/UAL integration(s) on his weekly message. Call 800-873-2459 (800-US-Daily), prompt 4, for more information.

The move in Sea to UA gates is scheduled for October. Couldn't come soon enough. Passengers connecting from UA with 35 min connect time can't make it but is shown as legal connex.

That's what I thought, but some maintain that there is a procedure. U is able to offer the LGA-SJU flight... but that's a Saturday only. The Fed's may not be watching.

At LaGuardia, both United and Frontier have permiter exemptions to Denver and American has one to Vail/Eagle, Colo.

The perimeter rule does not apply to Denver, and it does not apply at all on Saturdays.

Corrections Needed!
- United does not have any RR Powered 757s.
- US Airways will be moving into AA's Concourse E at SFO because UA needs every one of its remaining domestic gates (the 5 "thumb" gates have transitioned to RJ gates) and because AA's cuts at SFO have the negated the need for them to have 8 gates.
