PIT

[Be Careful What You Wish For.]

And why brush off a huge factor with the "other than weather" aside? Maybe weather is why companies, and therefore people, move to CLT and from PIT.

Isn't good weather a huge reason why people decide to live where they do?

I myself am a PIT transplant and love the weather as well as the friendly people, but everything in CLT needs to be modified to meet the needs of everything when they already had it in PIT? The only thing PIT needs is tumble weeds from Tempe!

cranberries and beavers

How can you possibly put Beaver and Cranberry Township in the same sentence? One is modern and growing the other is like stepping back into a time warp.

Until September, the banking industry was PLENTY more than what PIT has.

And why brush off a huge factor with the "other than weather" aside? Maybe weather is why companies, and therefore people, move to CLT and from PIT.

Could it be the high taxes, corrupt goverment, shoddy infrastructure?

Heck,
Fargo, ND is a lovely little town ...
Let's make it a hub?

No traffic related delays and no competition to PIR.

Is this referring to PIT or CLT?

Additionally, we forgot the additional costs associated with de-icing in our analysis.

Please add in the fantastic fishing and no competition to MOT.

And the lack of dust storms and ugly godforsaken desert..

"From FAR our service SUX it's falling into the PIT"

The gin must be kicking in-but I like it.

 

[Be Careful What You Wish For.]

No gin tonight and sadly the liquor store is closed as I'm fresh out. Contrary to popular belief the last Gin and Tonic I had was after the FFOCUS board meeting on January 24th.

Sorry for the confusion but I was referring to my gin-I should have been more specific.

Seriously, how much traffic really originates in CLT? i dunno, I really miss going through PIT. AVP used to have multiple planes going to PIT and I would imagine that many other cities in the northeast used to funnel through PIT before we were all redirected to CLT and PHL. PIT was the ultimate hub for the traveler. To be honest, I'm not minding EWR at all. It is a great airport. Very clean and well run...

Whats wrong with CLT?

Whats wrong with CLT?

Oh nothing. I love CLT. It is a great airport. The only think about CLT that stinks for me is the 2 hour flight on the Canadair... PIT used to be 45 min on a Dash. EWR is working great for me now on CO because it is 20 min on a Dash.

Like I've said before. I'll give US another chance when I really believe that the product has improved.

I am agreeing with Debbie Downer, PIT is done time to move on.
