That's good to see. Now if they could just figure out that we have a bi-annual furniture market here that lasts a week each. DAL and UAL put 757 service in for them while we do nothing.

BHM has an upgrade of a daily flight from a CRJ to a B737 in September.

 

[jack mama]

Is GSO going to be the CLT go fares market?

 

[ITRADE]

Interesting that the new service was loaded up a couple days after the Delta running US Airways out of GSO thread appeared.

 

[deltawatch]

If they would change a couple of the LGA RJ's to mainline I believe they could push Delta out of the GSO LGA market. Could use one GSO-BOS also.

 

[wings396]

In the PI days, LGA/BOS/EWR were all strong markets out of GSO. Keep in mind that this was with the CLT Hub in place already. Many of these type markets have been discarded over the years only to have the competiton move in. If you are working in GSO, you have to be Loving this news.....at step AWAY from Mainline Express, instead of moving closer. RDU has maintained a stronger Mainline schedule than GSO the past few years, but this will even them up a bit.

Maybe big brother is watching...

Or maybe its a known weakness to the scheduling dept.

Seems to me they've added lift in a bunch of areas, per this board:
GSO
DCA-point-to-point
CMH/IND-hubs (reported in the DCA thread)
PWM-hubs
STL-hubs

Seems like something good is going on... And its about time.

 

[ITRADE]

Note that all the additional lift is going to cities - other than PIT.

 

[USFlyer]

What you're seeing is 50-seat RJs being freed up by E170 deliveries ... hence the introduction of RJs into CHO, for example. You're seeing mainline aircraft also being freed up also by E170 deliveries, hence additional flights like DCA-MSY, DCA-BUF, etc. And, you're seeing all aircraft types being freed up by focusing only on O&D and high traffic connnections thru PIT (in lieu of cities like TOL that probably added little value to the overall network).

Honestly, now that I see how US is deploying the E170s, I'm in even more favor of that plane. I think it's a size US has needed for a while (well, ever since they retired the F-28s).

 

[Non Rev]

I saw where BHM will get a 737-300 for a couple of months also.

 

[RedTails]

Please excuse my ignorance. What does O&D mean?

Thank you

 

[mweiss]

Origination and Destination. It's traffic that begins or ends at that location, rather than connecting through that location.

 

[ringmaruf]

I saw where BHM will get a 737-300 for a couple of months also.

I noticed that as well.

I know that STL and PWM are Mainline Express.

Is BHM an Express station, or is it Mainline Express?
