Pittsburgh Gets A One Year Extension.

It's an interesting personal paradox that you throw out. But, it's just that, you're personal opinion that has nothing concrete to back it up. I don't care what Duane Woerth said at some ALPA meeting regarding United's DIP woes. We want facts Chip, like clandestine meetings between Siegel and Tilton. We want proof of your theories. Hallucinating between the corporate report filing lines does not count.

Do you have any facts?

You are correct, these are Chip's "opinions"!

Most of the stuff you read on these boards are nothing but opinions.
Some make us see a glimmer of hope, while others obviously get under our skins.

Which ever this one is (opinion/factual), I for one enjoy reading Chip's posts.

Give us something that IS factual and we will all sleep much better I'd suppose.

The original article from PennLive doesn't specify how many of the 400 flights are mainline's. It just states that he would maintain 400 flights out of PIT for January(now adjusted to 400 for the Winter season by TheHub). It could be 0 mainline and 400 express/MDA flights. <_<

According to the article in the Pittsburgh Business Times, we currently operate 122 mainline and 274 US Airways Express flights from Pittsburgh.

hmmm.. no kidding.

I'm not sure that ACAA can go along with U's request to 'have it both ways' for another year, without getting legitimate complaints from the other airlines at PIT.

Other carriers, presumably, have signed commitments to guarantee bonds that have a longer term than just the next year and they can't create an 'amnesty' period. But U wants to be able to gain the cheaper rates AND maintain the ability to walk away without penalty.

I don't know the particulars of ACAA's agreement, but U's flexibility is running out at some point, right? An action taken 5 minutes before exiting bankruptcy to reject your commitments is one thing, but this might be a step too far. I guess it's a judgment call.

Dave just blinked? It sounds as if "400" flights just turned into 332. How many mainline? 50-60?
