"With United now providing service between Pittsburgh and all five of our hubs across the U.S., our customers have numerous options for the best service that gets them where they need to go."

Doesnt say anything about US stopping its own flights.

I don't know why it would since it's a United press release. I'm pretty sure we'll see a Pitt. Gazette article soon that asks those questions with vague, non-comittal answers from the US spin machine.

But I also think this will be the perfect excuse for US to drop the routes with the excuse "there isn't any demand".....

Is it too early to start the 'your company sucks -vs- my company doesn't' while both companies rape us all?
Or is there some unspoken time period of discourse?

You can have PIT with my humble blessings - now they can complain about UAL.

Looks like a UA/US hookup? 3's a charm!

 

[Smokin Cubans]

Don't you mean UA/CO? At least that's what the media believes, so it must be true.

hard to believe at one time us and TWA had nonstops to lax TWA L 1011s 707s and us 727s ahh the past.

Don't you mean UA/CO? At least that's what the media believes, so it must be true.

CO has told UA they want to operate independently and only want to share facilities? I wouldn't call that a merger? On the other hand US/AW operate under one certificate which constitutes a merger i guess, yet the flt. crews are still not one?
