How do (or did) the CR9 figure into scope compliance? I understood (perhaps incorrectly) that UA was limited to 70 or 76 seats in it's regional operation. Thanks in advance. The CR9s were backfill while Mesa (and it sounds like Skywest) trained enough pilots to operate the E175s. The CR9s will star...

Jump to postIs it true that RTD buses to thje airport are now simply priced with the standard $2.70 Denver bus fare? This is good thing, I suppose, except the airport bus may have been one of the few things RTD could charge a premium for.

Jump to postUA has a feature in it's web site called Travel Ready Center.

Jump to postIf the bridges have concession space, that could make the initial capital outlay more feasible. Either way, it was a bit of a planning blunder 30+ years ago not to make the train system more future-proof. 35 or so years ago the trenches that the trains run in were down-sized to reduce cost. The ori...

Jump to postE470 is building a bike path right next to the roadway, mostly. Get a Pena bike path and they could connect up. A recreational bike path along E-470 makes sense to a degree and would line up with the 470 trail along C-470 and the bike path that runs along E-470 between I-25 and Parker Road in Dougl...
Jump to postI find that the AB Skyride works really well. It has always operated perfectly on time for me and is clean and safe. I've parked at the bus stop and it's never been a problem. The best thing RTD could do would be to add frequency as the busses are typically an hour apart.
Jump to postHas the security set-up changed? Is it still precheck north....regular south and bridge? Thanks in advance for any info.

Jump to postCorrect, but that's a different matter. Those are revenue, one-off flights that are being operated by the airlines with no incentives from the university, so they can sell the deadhead leg as a regular flight, especially if it's a route that they usually operate on and just upgauge one flight for a...

What sort of improvements to baggage claim are being worked on as part of the $2B renovation project? Just did my 30th arrival in Denver for 2022 – it’s a minimum of 90 minutes from touchdown to baggage arrival each time. By far the worst of the major US airports. Even Newark has them out in 30 min...

Jump to postMy question is about the seating configuration of UA's Boeing 789.

If it's a hard bulkhead, does the bulkhead r...
Jump to postThat’s not applicable to the US. The career trajectory you describe is basically the old regional model, but with the requirement for 1500 hours nobody can go from flying school to a commercial airliner. In Europe people are flying A320s and 737s with 250 hours. That’s a HUGE difference, and means ...

Jump to postI'm considering booking a trip on LH in premium economy. My question is about the bulkhead (i.e. the very first row) of premium economy seats.
