It has not been a hub in a few years, it is a focus city.

And this news flash is from what source?

It has not been a hub in a few years, it is a focus city.

Who said it was a hub? Can't focus cities be downsized?

BUH-BYE PITTSBURGH, PITTSBURGH HUB TO BE DOWNSIZED AGAIN

I hate it for the PIT diehard flight attendants, but seriously, the slow death has to stop. Just kill it already. The writing is on the wall -- this will not be a base for much longer. The best they can hope for is the option of PIT as a satellite base with a new AFA contract.

Oh dear. U will pull out more RJs... pretty much all that's left anyway.

Sky high states: It is...was a vocal base. They better get very VOCAL on the satellite issue. It's hard to commute to PHL, LGA, DCA on RJ's. AFA, are you listening?

My opinion...Satelitte PIT, LGA, DCA, and BOS. We only need 2 real bases. The ONLY reason for thoses bases is to give someone under 10 years a way to hold a block.

Great idea. Anyone knoe if this is being discussed? I am not exactly sure how this works, but it would seem cost effective. I seem to remember hearing that AA has had success with satellite bases (ATL/MSP/SAN???) and is planning more. It just makes sense.

Maybe 3 bases -- CLT, PHL, and PHX. Satellites for BOS, LGA, DCA, PIT, FLL (!), LAS, LAX

Sorry..I didn't mean to leave out our west brothers and sisters. I was speaking of the east bases. Yes, LAS and LAX would be great added satelitte bases.

But as a consolation they have their Steelers jet.

Can we add DFW to that list? (Sigh) One can only dream, right!
