Flight 2800

[US1YFARE]

I just heard from someone that Flight 2800 made an emergency landing in Mojave desert yesterday, and the PAX were bussed to Las Vegas? Anyone else able to confirm this? I'm not at work right now.

THIS IS TOTALLY FALSE!!!! US has started a codeshare with Greyhound and this was the inaugural flight.

Well, the flight number in itself says it's a codeshare, if you noticed that why did you even bother posting if you find it boring?

The number does NOT mean that it is a codeshare. Maybe it does on the West, but the high 2000 numbers are used on Airbus for the LGA-BOS-DCA corridor.

Ok, maybe so in the LGA-BOS-DCA corridor.. but out this way, 2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx, 6xxxx ... all the way to 8xxx designate codeshares.

And remember, everyone, all that matters is what happens "out [that] way."

Don't kid yourself. And go read the article while you're at it. It's a west metal codeshare flight with mesa airlines. Thank you.

So you just proved the point that it's not a US flight. It's not even an American West flt. CODESHARE??!!! Snore.

I never knew "Shares" was capable of Codeshares.!

It's an America waet Express/US Airways Express flight operatedby Mesa Airlines. Its not a codeshare as a major airline employee would be thinking- like US codesharing with United, or Lufthansa, or Big Sky or whoever. In fact it is not a codeshare at all, it is a capacity purchase- a US/HP flight number that happens to be operated by another carrier- most Express agreements (except the owned ones) are really capacity purchases/wet leases. However, a recent trend in the regional airline industry is to refer to these agreements as "codeshares", as if these "airlines" would have been operating these flights anyway and they allowed the major to "codeshare" with them. For example, I overheard a pilot for one of the affiliates referring to US as thier "codeshare partner"... maybe it makes them feel important, but codeshare is technically the incorrect term.

Now none of that changes the sad fact that the customer thinks they are on US Airways when they are on these flights. But have no fear! The company is making great strides in strandardizing the service experience between the 20 Express carriers and real US Airways... they are bringing US Airways down to Mesa levels.

Is or was HP and US operating as a code share. There is some judge that thinks not. ALPA vs LCC

US and HP are (were?) codesharing. You'll see both an HP and US flight number, some have been changed to identical flt numbers but reservation wise they exist as two different flts- say US881 and HP881. Not sure if the res cutover changes it to a single system or the certificate... I think it was the res cutover.

A good way to look at it is if the flight operates as a different flight number... say United flight 773 might be US Airways flight 5008 as a codeshare. US Airways flights, logo and all are listed on departure monitors in Asia and all over the world even though Airways itself doesn't fly there- those are real codeshares. Mesa flying CRJ900s as US Airways Express is not a codeshare, its a capacity purchase with only a US Airways flight number. Even though on the radio theyll say Shuttlecraft flight xxxx for operational purposes, the flight number only exists as a sellable commodity as a US flight number (unless another airline is codesharing with US on that particular flight).

The BOS-LGA-DCA Shuttle flight numbers 20xx and 21xx. No higher.
