I just don't understand how you think US is 'loosing out again'or what excatly your point of this post is. Or is this just another chance for you to b!tch about Doug?

Try some constructive criticism, you'll get farther in a discussion, I'd think.

Thank you! And how exactly does this demonstrate the company "revolves around the west???"

DP has stated time and time again, expansion on a grand scale is not going to happen just yet.
There are a shipload ( 😀 ) of other things that need to be worked out first........for east AND west.

a competent management team would be simultaneously (big word for you dougie kool-aid drinkers, i know; more than three syllables...) both reparative and strategically innovative, i.e., creating lucrative growth. dp and his regional gang have chose to do neither.
in this industry, being idle is suicidal...

Anything above low expectations is an attack on management.

If you believe this company can do better, and say so, prepare to be considered negative.

Ok, my turn.

Dear Doug,

I realize your job isn't to run the day to day operations of our airline, but your job is to maximize shareholder value & profit of the airline.

So why on earth would you guys let Mesa and Trans States, who have been loyal USAirways partners (and Mesa your *only* HP partner for the longest time), to remove RJs from the US-East side and fly them for their other flag carriers? Do you not realize that these jets could very easily be flying AGAINST us, such are the ERJ 145s operated by Freedom Air / Mesa, out of Orlando? Do you not realize we are loosing customers to other airlines on planes that once bore our flag?

Yes, we all think RJs suck. But they also suck customers out of our hubs and on nonstop flights operated by other airlines.

We dropped the ball big time in Ft. Lauderdale, as we could have easily worked with BCAD for a temporary solution to offer up to 50 RJ flights out of this airport to feed our "new" Central American & Caribbean flights. Cities where USAirways *WAS* Number one (or at least a top 5 carrier)... Norfolk, Raleigh/Durham, Greensboro, Nashville, Roanoke, Charleston, Savannah, etc. The list goes on. It could have been USAirways flying RJs to the Bahamas, Jacksonville, & Pensacola from Ft. Lauderdale. We could have easily supported a very nice REAL HUB in Ft. Lauderdale, but instead our management, you included, allowed these aircraft to be transitioned to Delta. And this is only one example of what we could have done with these RJs.

And now, Piedmont, an airline where WE keep the profits, is supposively parking the Dash 8 Q200s, aircraft that can carry an extra 500 to 2500#s of extra payload per flight compared to the older Dash 8-100s! And no mention of replacement. You are allowing Republic to fly 72 seat jets on routes that once were operated by *MAINLINE* employees on mainline aicraft (sorta) -- outsourcing at its best. We're parking planes left & right when they could be flying.

Please, Mr. Parker... make sure we are getting the MOST efficient utilization of each airplane.
