Mileage accrual

[PA18]

So did the northeast short-haul flights suddenly become unprofitable?

Excuse me while I go stare out the window for a while.

The majority of passengers on the northeast short-hauls are on one leg of a two- or three- segment flight to or from Florida or the islands, because US had no non-stops to the sunshine from either BOS or LGA.

DCA is now used as a connecting hub to and from Florida, so the Shuttle flights to and from BOS and LGA are now populated with fewer and fewer business flyers, and more and more $99 internet fares to Walley World.

If I were Delta and AA I would boost my mileage award for shuttle flights to 1000 miles. Would cost them next to nothing and generate alot of revenue from US clients

Just a nice segment making US Airways look like the meanest and stingiest airline flying.

Finally! Some truth in the media!
