JFK-CLT to happen soon

[ISP]

Rumor I hear from many in Tempe is that it will start early July to compete with B6, operated by CRJ-900.

Comair and I believe American Eagle are all ready flying JFK-CLT-JFK and have been.

 

[ISP]

So are you telling me 700UW that it won't happen? Guess time will tell.

 

[700UW]

I am not saying that, I am saying there will be three carriers on the route from CLT all ready and I dont think US will fly it.

Hey here's a bright idea.

How about ISP-CLT????

Maybe with a EMB-190????

That could work--no competition on that route, and relief for PHL.

It's such a good idea it will never happen...

Is US Airways now going to feed Int'l airlines at JFK? (Now, would you take a RJ900 to JFK, and have your bags in CLT, because of weight/balance restrictions?)

Or are we just a little worried about JetBlue coming into our money making markets? (BOS-BUF/PIT/JAX etc.)

I think it may be a little pressure on B6 , if they are going to or have started having some "trouble" in their business model, then maybe a little more compettion on their route(s) could accelerate any demise, or as I call it "The Luv Effect"

I believe it is part 2 of the response to B6 - Doug's letter being part 1.

From what I understand, while this service has been rumored since before the merger, it still wasn't even decided upon until late last week. Target date for beginning in first week in July - to "one up" B6, whose service starts 7/12. Look for an announcement shortly.

Yeah! Get a jump on the competition!

Wolf did that when he got wind of Southwest opening Manchester, NH, from Baltimore. USAirways jumped in a month early and just look what a detrimental effect it had on SWA operations in MHT!

NOT!

Art, you hit the nail on the head in my opinion. Howerver like you said it will never happen.

Wow, could there possibly be a worse plane to throw on a route competing against IFE-equipped EMB-190s than the uncomfortable, cramped and generally crappy CRJ-900?

Yes, a CRJ-100/200

Air wisconsin's CL-56 is the WORST piece of crap RJ ever. I am very squished at 6'1 205 lbs (no I'm not obese).

I was more comfortable in a United Transtates Saab 340 that had E+ in it than anything less than an E-170 in US's Express fleet. Though the IAD experience left me with a headache (10 flights out of 1 gate in their "new" Express terminal.)

You obviously haven't ridden in one of the -900's. The seat cushions are so thin, you can feel the metal frame of the seat.
This is not the case with the 100/200/700. Unless of course, the are Mesa 100/200/700's...which are no longer being flown at US.

AA does LGA-CLT-LGA, not JFK.
