New trouble for US Airways?

[PA18]

As everyone knows February is one of the best times to non-rev.

Its always been that way.

Show comparisons please.

Actually, February is a very big travel month in New England.

Everybody wants to go to Walley World during the Presidents Day school vacation week. So much so, that many families take their kids out of school during non-vacation weeks, because that is the only way they can get reservations on the airlines to get to MCO, and to get hotel rooms there.

A couple of years ago, some friends of mine booked one year in advance to go to BOS-MCO during the school vacation week, and got the last three seats on a Delta flight. One year out!

What always adds to the fun at US Airways is the fact that there usually is a major snow storm that week. A classic nor'easter that starts off the Carolina coast, so it takes out CLT, then DCA, then PHL, then LGA, then BOS.

And with everybody being forced to fly through the hubs enroute to MCO...

What do you think

Maybe a pay cut/layoff is in store for you.

Sorry, forgot about MCO.

If US still has seats while other airlines are sold out this is a good thing.

As posted above, that time of the year is always slow. The period starting from about 2 weeks after New Years until Spring break has had low bookings for as long as I can remember. Is this someting that you haven't noticed before?? Also why are you speculating that 87 A/C could be parked as a result, and where did you ever come up with that assumption?

The real bad news for LCC is LH's move toward B6. LH has been quoted as saying that B6's product is not a disappointment for LH's customers connecting from TA. hmmmmmmm

A source for this quote would be appreciated.

Will emptier flights mean that I will get my luggage the same day?

Funny, I had the same thought while reading post #1.

The JetBlue/Lufthansa deal makes you doubt a US Airways/United deal. Could LH sense UA will be leaving Star and merging with Delta.

IF so US Airways will be VERY important to the Star alliance. Could Us Airways get involved and end up merging with JetBlue and get JFK?
