Delta Continues Build Up Against Clt & Rdu

[gso-crew]

Delta continues it's attack on USairways .... GSO PTI is building a new wing for Delta tripling there space in GSO. Most of the passengers using them drive from Charlotte or Raleigh. Delta now fly’s the following non-stops:

10 GSO-ATL
4 GSO-MCO
2 GSO-FLL
2 GSO-TPA
8 GSO-CVG
2 GSO-BOS
3 GSO-JFK
4 GSO-LGA
MORE TO COME IM SURE

Everywhere you look there's new construction in GSO, they are building a new 10,000 parallel runway for simultaneous landings. FEDEX is opening phase one of their new mega east coast freight hub, new business moving in monthly. Delta knows a good thing when they see it!

With the passing of US Airways, GSO could become the dominant airport in the state.
Jerry Orr had better hurry-up with his air-rail head idea, or the opportunity could be lost.

I would not worry about Greensburg, nor will there be a passing of Usairways, Delta's schedule is not that impressive also they need to get costs way down to go against us.

Greensboro, sorry about that.

USairways is cutting mainline service to 3 a day in Febuary .... Going back to 4 in March. No more mainline service to PHL, WN will be checking that out I bet.

Denial is not a river in Egypt.

US Airways is the walking dead.

Cheapest workforce in the industry. Now that's something to be proud of. Good for bragging rights in the neighborhood.

Greensboro is not that much of a hot spot, it did not work for Contiental or us when we did "operation high ground" if you remember however Delta is very concerned about our ops in FLL and DCA along with American, and I still think we will be here maybe not as Usair but merged or bought by someone. Happy Holidays!!!!!!

SpinDoc replies:

GSO is NOT a hotspot??? Where have you been
lately? It is a known fact in the Triad that the
majority of the customer flying out of GSO are
residents of CLT and RDU. They come to GSO
because US has punitive fares from CLT to
many of the major business markets and they
are too smart to pay full fare. The majority of
them fly right through CLT to get where they're
going, but saving a buck to drive 83 miles from
CLT is important. Any because of this, DL, CO,
and AA are doing very well with their revenues
out of GSO. US is pulling out of GSO because of
the diversion of customers from their high yield
CLT markets and they are trying to use their
only tool, Dividend Miles, to force them back
to CLT and RDU where average fares are
higher. It's sad, but true. If they ever have
GoFares from CLT, it will pull traffic from GSO
in a heartbeat.

What might be more interesting is DL going into ex-US cities Hickory and Kinston with RJ's to ATL.
