I just noticed, completely by accident, that US has started flying a daily Chautauqua ERJ on the LGA-LWB (Greenbrier/Lewisburg, WV) route since April 19. This is a seasonal RJ flight that US flies to LWB every summer for six months or so, but this is the first time it's been from LGA; last year it was a PSA CRJ from PHL. Air Midwest also serves LWB year-round as US Airways Express with B1900s from CLT/PIT/IAD.
Of course, new routes are good news, especially new routes at LGA, where US hasn't been making much noise lately compared to other carriers.
But Tempe didn't bother to issue a press release for the new service, just like it hasn't bothered to do for a bunch of other new East routes since the merger. :down:
I pay way more attention to US's schedules than the average person; if I didn't even notice this service until after it had started, how can US expect its target customers to know about it so that they can buy tickets?
