(First off, this applies to more than just US Airways, but I'm not sure what forum area to put this under, so could the Mods please bump this to the appropriate forum? Thanks) For those airlines who have some form of in flight internet, Delta, American, Southwest, United, and US Airways, I have...

Eh....doesn't hurt to hope though. *goes back to cheering for a certain airline that flies little blue, red, and orange planes* Haha...on a slightly different note, and the fact that I don't really want to start yet another thread.. Could US (or any of it's theoretical buyers) actually close the...

US currently has the most amount of "beyond perimeter slot exemptions" from DCA, at 8. Is it possible they shift these special slots they have to SNA, maybe one or two? As for the LGA perimeter exemptions, the farthest flights allowed are to DEN, so why not simply market it to Denver, with...

I was looking at various things for what the different airlines have for transcon service, and I had an interesting idea, although this idea may turn out to be impractical. American and United have pretty decent Transcontinental services, American with their "Flagship service", and United with...

As for getting more lift out of the wings...I doubt you could get much more out of them, I understand the A321 IGW (if there is such a variant) is already close to the maximum lifting ability for the A32x wings, and then there's another issue..tailstrikes. I realize that there's a larger...

Gotcha. It's too bad that with the West side of US, the Express side is stuck with CRJs or Dash-8s. Would be nicer to get the E-170/175s, but I guess that's how US did all their agreements with the regional carriers. Too bad.

As far as the proportion of FC seats, depending on how you look at it, US Express will have the highest percentage of First Class-equipped RJs out of the three other big airlines, American, United/Continental, and Delta. The following numbers are just estimates, but I think they're very close to...

So..I have a possible upcoming trip (Personal circumstances make this trip possibly not happen) The originating point is Phoenix, and the end point is Albuquerque. How can I pack the most miles into one day? It must stay domestic, and price is a concern. So far, I have, on Southwest, a $79.80...

Oh. My mistake. I read somewhere that these flex days were added flights on Friday/Saturday/Sunday, or something to that effect. Would you mind providing me with a more in-depth explanation? I also wonder the same thing about HA. If they are still running the 767, that gives them either 253 or...

So ABQ is simply another spoke that doesn't warrant competition, but token service only? (I realize that ABQ is a very minor part of the US system, however, so ABQ isn't in any form a route that would make or break US' profits.)

Not just one more Honolulu flight, but two, starting December 16, it appears, for a total of 4x/daily. However, in the month or two before that, it dips to only 1x daily.

I live in Albuquerque, and sometimes make short trips to Phoenix. I was curious as to why US Airways has cut/downsized service so much to ABQ. We went from getting a daily 737, a random collection of CR2s and CR9s, a weekly A319, to the same collection of CRJs, and the weekly A319, which is...

I was checking a few US Air flights to Hawaii, and it seems in December 2011 (I did not check any other dates), US West 757 operations total 9 flights/day. 4 to Honolulu, 2 to Maui, one each to Lihue, Kona, and Cancun. Excuse my ignorance, but if US isn't getting any more 757s, doesn't this...
