Good morning everyone, when watching my favortive morning show today, squak box, i became, frankly enraged as their morning poll asked whay is your favorite domestic airline

those listed where: all of the majors, WN, and B6 with the execption of quess who....US Airways.

I personally found this strange in several areas. (A) our large presence out of LGA, cnbc cant leave their little NYC world. (B) The fact that U is much much larger than B6. © GE Capitals investment in U.

I emphatically urge you to contact CNBC at 201-585-2622 (then take the prompts to the business desk). as well as voting under the other category on www.cnbc.com.

Thanks to anyone who can help....I am personally very suprised by this.

Considering that U is only a regional airline, with a FEW overseas destinations, I think they are right not to include U. Hell ACA, Skywest, Comair, ASA, Coex all fly to more destinations than U. Alot of their flights are longer than U's. So PMSNBC is probably right to exclude U.

This is so patently incorrect as to not even be funny. US flies to about 30 foreign destinations.

US is also larger to Caribbean/South America than United, Alaska, Northwest, or America West.

exagony,
if they are measuring it by destinations, than why include WN and B6 in poll? We have what 8-9 times the number of aircraft as Jetblue and serve more than twice the number of Destinations as Southwest ( who by the way had the highest number of votes, we need to fix that ).

all im saying is if were simply measuring the largest airlines (or simply peoples favorite airline stock) than that would be fair, but to include airlines such as jetblue which is what the 12-13th largest carrier and to exclude US and UA seams wrong. leading me to think that the poll was either put together someone with a below average knowledge of the Airline Industry and simply list airlines he of she had heard of, or simply rather hastly w/o much thought.


btw, "Other" came in second place, and as it was being announced Joe Kernen (sp?) state: "Our poll today is what is your favorite airline, or in my case AIRWAYS. Its good to have some support from the community we have served well and especially from another subsidary of GE.

US now also is the second largest carrier in terms of the number of destinations to Europe....

US flies to 10 last time I checked.

CO flies to 15 destinations, DL to 17. Unless CO and DL have dropped destinations, US is still #3, and probably a lot lower when it comes to Atlantic ASMs.
