Perimeter rules, just like the Wright Amendment, are outdated and unnecessary protectionisms and ought to be abolished. What rational reason is there for allowing people from Denver to fly non-stop to LGA but not people from San Francisco? Why are there four daily non-stop Beechcraft flights from Lebanon, New Hampshire to LaGuardia and zero daily non-stop flights from the second largest city in America, Los Angeles?Well, since LGA has two runways and JFK has four runways, yes, let's repeal the perimeter rule!
Maybe we should repeal the high density rule while we're at it!
Does anyone on this board live in the real world, or am I all by myself?
B6 runs these routes from JFK w/ A320s, seems like they would be no problem at all operationally for A319s - even with full loads and the short LGA runways.

Phoenix is a hub. Los Angeles is a hub. San Francisco is a hub. So, what?Because Denver was grandfathered since it is a hub.
All 19 people on each Beechcraft, generously assuming a 100-percent load factor. You could fit everyone who flies to Lebanon in a day in a single A319 to Phoenix. There is absolutely no harm done to anyone by allowing flights from LGA to PHX or SFO or SEA or LAX.Because many of the passengers on the LEB flights connect to another US Airways/US Express flight, and that would only make sense at LGA where US operates.

I'm suggesting that if LEB can get four flights daily on 19-seat Beechcraft, there is absolutely zero reason why PHX and LAS should not be able to get three flights daily on an Airbus. If the airport's that congested, move some of these podunk 19/34-seat prop flights to PHL, where passengers can connect to far more destinations anyway.
US Airways officials have held two recent meetings with Port Authority of New York and New Jersey officials at the LGA US Airways Club in regard to obtaining slots to fly to both PHX and LAS from LGA.
IMO, this person dosen't know what the heck they're talking about.According to LGA CSA personnel the JFK to PHX and LAS service does not have very strong yield.
