Art, I have no idea of how tall or short you are...but right now I think you must stand about 6'10". Ut takes a big man to admit that he might have been wrong about something. Kudos to you. All you are seeing is what a lot of us have been telling you all along --- nobody gets treated as...

Well, if you said average, you should have used the average. What you did was take the lowest capacity aircraft in WN's fleet to try and make some sort of point, although I would suggest that you failed to make the point you might have been trying to make. The AVERAGE capacity of WN's fleet...

Hopefully Piney Bob will be next. The real celebrations will begin, though, when Art gets his first RR ticket voucher and drink coupons in the mail . I too can vouch for full beverage service on short, full flights......LAS-ONT, BHM-BNA, FLL-MCO....but most impressively AUS-HOU. Granted, the...

Ah yes. Nicknames. These are not USAirways employees but this triggered some memories too good not to post. In the late 70s/early 80s WN had two ticket agents working for them in MAF. One was "Janet From Another Planet." See the story from the early poster about ET. Same deal. It's a...

Okay, okay, make it Charlotte to Phoenix. I was just trying to think of two important USAirways stations. For all I know it could have been from Zanesville, Ohio to Show Low, Arizona - except I don't think you guys run a nonstop across there....not since retiring the Nord 262s anyhow.

I was sitting here wondering what ever happened to Mamie Van Doren and I happened to think of a realistic solution to many of USAirways' problems. Quit carrying enough fuel to reach the alleged destination. On any and every flight. When the LGA to PHX flight has to stop in, say, Kansas...

You have a good memory (re: avg stage length). Don't go to any trouble ferreting out the info, I have done it for you (assuming this picture works)

KC you were pretty close...but let me set the historical facts straight for you. First of all, you were exactly correct.....Southwest was established to be an airline designed for the business traveler. The intrastate service in Texas (Dallas-Houston-San Antonio) was a mixed bag in the late...

Charge for cabin pressurization. If they don't pay, a cabin altitude of 30,000' will pretty much ensure that FAs don't have to work too hard. "Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be cruising at an altitude of 33,000' enroute to Phoenix today. Most passengers find comfort and survival both are...

Howdy all, I had been wanting to chime in but I have been tied up pretty much all week in the DFW Metroplexus....teaching a seminar in Leadership & Management for the mid level mgmt of a successful drilling company. Isn't it a pity that USAirways won't retain me to teach their upper level...

Well, flt 2187 was due there at 9:05 and got in at 8:58 am. Flt 1236 was due at 12:10 pm and got in at 11:58 am. Flt 2138 was due in at 1:45 and got there at 2:07. Neither CNN nor Fox has reported WN having to divert for an enraged, unruly passenger. I guess Art made it. I hope he had a...

The article is neither here nor there. The short and very nasty answer is yes, the sky is falling. How do I know? If you take a look at the WN board, Art is flying them next week. That ought to tell everyone that it's time to get the orchestra to start playing "Nearer My God To Thee" and...

Art: Good deal. I've read you enough to know that you will keep an open mind and be honest. In a way, I wish you had let me know....I would have mailed you some drink coupons and might even have sprung for the difference to upgrade you to Business Select (You know me, last of the big...

Take this nugget of wisdom from a Texan with a BS Geology who, since his retirement from playing Army for a living, is back in the thrilling and never-dull oil & gas industry: Drill. Drill in Alaska. Drill off Florida. Drill off California. Let folks play with the oil shales in the Rockies...

Now, now. Can't we all just get along? Which reminds me of an old joke. Anyone know what breed of dog was heavily advertised back when the west was America's frontier? It was the dachsund. Remember the old slogan "Get a long little doggie?" But I digress. I wanted to cheer everyone up by...
