Well... ORD is run by the City of Chicago Department of Aviation. And we all know that politics never alters anything in Chicago330JETSTEW said:2) I am not debating as to whether or not AA or UA dominates ORD. I was simply
saying that it is not up to AA or UA as to who get's gate space and who doesn't.
Why don't you go educate yourself on the way that our nation's commercial air
service operates before making foolish statements. Stop embarassing yourself
to pretend you that know what you're talking about when it comes to B6 and
ORD.
**Live, if you give me your e-mail address, I'll make sure you send you a copy of the press release when that day comes on special jetBlue letterhead, JUST FOR YOU!
These games are already played all the time... Look at the recent fiasco between Frontier and United at DEN. Frontier basically proved that by reasonable industry measures, UA was hoarding gates at DEN. UA's contract w/ DEN basically said that 3 turns per gate per day warrants permanent use of a gate. This is extremely low gate utilization, particularly if the facility is constrained.RowUnderDCA said:If AA and/or UA try gate-hogging at ORD, the DOJ and the DOT will be down on them like a ton of bricks, especially if it is to the detriment of jetBlue.
If the City of Chicago starts to play this game, the DOT and the FAA will similarly shut down their grants, perhaps new PFC approval and perhaps other punishments.
I mean to say that the behavior that you describe is either against the law and/or counter to the City's grant obligations to the Feds that spend beaucoup $$ at ORD.
You're not familiar with Chicago politics.Diesel8 said:ORD is indeed dominated by AMR and UAL, but I got a feeling something will shake loose re. gates for jetBlue.
Just post it here on the jetBlue board of USaviation. Then everyone can see it! I highly doubt that Neelman would turn down an opportunity to fly in and out of ORD. Even if jetBlue gets a gate to fly in and out of ORD, they will be killed by AA and UA just like DL killed them in ATL!330JETSTEW said:**I'll make sure you send you a copy of the press release when that day comes on special jetBlue letterhead
