Wow. Just looked at US's flight plans for this route and half of it is F.U.N.K.Y.
The CLT-MEX routing is fine.
Dep. CLT 10:15; Arr. MEX 13:26
Dep. MEX 14:26; Arr. CLT 18:45
The PHL-MEX routing is horribly inefficient.
Dep. PHL 17:30; Arr. MEX 22:00
Dep. MEX 11:15; Arr. PHL 16:30
I can't believe that US would let an aicraft sit on the ground for 13 hours!!!
Why don't they do something like this?
Dep. MEX 07:30; Arr. PHL 12:45
Dep. PHL 13:55; Arr. DCA 14:45
Dep. DCA 15:30; Arr. PHL 16:30
Dep. PHL 17:30; Arr. MEX 22:00
That way, you can advertise DCA-MEX one-stop service!!!
