I rubbed Four Points Pecan pie on my body.
That is Sherry Shamblin?
When I saw her in person she looked much, uh how do I put it? I guess scaggier is the word, since riddenhardanddrugthroughthemud isn't really a word.

Not today, but likely a 340 for the 2009 route award, for which US should be the favored applicant - primarily because PHL has NO Asia services period. US now has the contract option to change several of the 332 deliveries scheduled to start in 2009 to 340s. 2009 is for US to Loose. The 2007 authority was granted after US submitted a letter of intent to DOT. US assumed the earliest award would be made for a flight starting in March 2008 - with a potential start date extension to June 2008. When the additional frequencies were recently approved by China (to 2007), US just did not have the time to acquire and operationally prove the 340. In fact, IF DL is awarded the 2007 slot, they will have difficulty assigning 2 aircraft to it without compromising other high profile services. Consequently, they will likely request a delay in start up into early 2008.
As for the 2009 slots being US Airways being LCC's to lose, they'd best not rest on their laurels.
Laurels? What Laurels? We don't need no stinkin' laurelsthis is precisely what DoUgIe's team of regional innovation management does best.
I think it's hysterical. Unlike YOU, she is clueless.....ENLIGHTEN Her. (And the the rest of THE GANG)That's funny--I didn't ask you.
Oh please don't even suggest that the Shuttles to Altoona or Dubois are being affected ....those are the Crown Jewels .....clutch my damn pearls! Trouble in the Keystone State- almost like a Pierogi Boycott in Pittsburgh!I'm sure you'll be disapointed to learn that I am not in fact Gwyneth Paltrow.
As for US and thier application, they should withdraw it. The zombie-fied US Airways of today is not even competent on its transpennsylvania flights. They are in no way worthy to take on anything like a transpacific route, its embarrassing that they even thought this mess was even in that league.

And now it looks like the service is to be PHL-PEK in 2009.
2007, 2009, what's the difference.
PVG, PEK, what's the difference.
Sigh.
Good point, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them change their minds somehow again before it starts (if it does).
PEK is about 500nm miles closer so it may be able to be flown by an a/c that can't operate PVG w/o being weight restricted, etc. Also PEK is the major hub for Air China which will become a *A next year so US could codeshare on some of their flights. It's too bad that it will be one year after the summer olympic games though.
And there you have, in a nutshell, why this profession is in the crapper.
Even the name says it: A320 DRIVER.
Wake up man. Figure out what it is you do for a living and stand up for it! BTW, I'm based in CLT.

I don't relish bankruptcy again, but the potential is there if we don't take a hard look at the realities and priorities that face us TODAY...not during the past. We drool at the Southwest pay scales when IMO the thing they have that I REALLY want is a healthy airline...the money will come.

This is my opinion and I'm entitled to it.
