An acquaintance passed along to me news of major cuts from Newark this summer. Any details on the magnitude? I was told SAN & SEA were cut completely which seems quite curious. The competition isn't quite strong (Alaska have minimal POS in NYC and United is... United) and these markets seem lik...
Jump to postWhere is fixation coming from with trying to get rid of the current Terminal B? Should they do that, they might as well do C as well. Because Terminal B is 50 years old next year? And it shows- it’s not well designed for current travel needs. I’m sure if money and operations were no obstacle they w...

Jump to postI do know a lot of people in US holding off in booking Europe this summer…not for covid, but for Ukraine.
They arent saying no yet…just holding off to see how it plays out
I really don’t get the need for ghost flights.
Is demand that low in Europe?
Airports have been busy in United States for a year already
Actually there is a lot to see here. This is going on at all airlines across workgroups. The airlines cut back staffing during the pandemic and have now ramped up with minimal staffing. This is not a temporary issue as it has been going on for 18 months! How long are people expected to work balls-to...
Jump to postIMHO much of Puerto Rico has lots its allure as a vacation destination to the plethora of options in the Dominican Republic.

I don’t like the bus lane idea neither. The MTA has already shifted the Q70-SBS to Ditmars Blvd (Eastbound) to reduce the delays while traveling along the GCP. 23rd Ave is already busy with the M60, Q48, Q33, Vaughn College traffic and LaGuardia Bus depot with more buses parked on the street than t...

Couldn’t be more proud of the restraint being shown but the affects casted
As of now, (things can still change) B6 has agreed to move to the South Terminal. 12 other airlines have also agreed to move and 2 more are in negotiations (I can't say who as it they haven't gone to the Board and made public yet). The New Terminal has 15 gates, but 20 aircraft parking positions du...
Jump to postB6 saying they have 10 of the 15 gates in new terminal B6 will have access to 10 gates but they won't be exclusive use. All gates in the South Terminal will be common use gates and can be assigned to other carriers when not is use by B6. Im just telling you what B6 is saying. Truth is, the United S...

Jump to postIs the cabin width of a 757 the same as a 737? For some reason, the 757 feels a lot more spacious inside. Cabin width is the same 707/727/737/757.

No worse than a 739 or an A321. 753s board through the L2, and that's not a trivial distance back from the front, where the aforementioned aircraft board.

NW and CO.
I was told it was too long and annoying to board.
The 757 is a beautiful airplane. It is the platform that the max should have been built on. Would have saved them a lot of trouble
The terminal isnt big enough for B6 Delta and other smaller airlines.
Delta runs a large operation out of MCO
Once phase 2 is completed, different story
NK it depends on its merger with F9 I think. I wouldn't be surprised if DL moved to the south terminal, it would give them more room for gates. I wouldn't be surprised if NK, XP, & 3M end up joining B6 over there. It’s a total of 15 gates. JetBlue is moving to the new terminal, that’s already b...

There arent enough 190 sims and with the lower pay on the plane (B6 used to keep it at 90 percent Airbus pay until the CBA) the 190 has become the defacto Front Door for new hire pilots at B6. As a result, the Front Door cant handle th...
Jump to postOn a broad level, it's not a great look for the airline to change their mind about E90 so quickly after announcing it will be around past 2026. i guess the cost pressure of E90 was just getting too high and the issue with 5G was too much. The 220 is also slated for Phoenix beginning in March. Don’t...

End of story
The fact that this thread became about B6… Again, they are a niche player when it comes to travel in the US, only in this website they are particularly important compared to other bigger airlines. The effects of this merger will mainly affect the legacy carriers and WN to an extent. If you see othe...
Jump to post1. Im worried about B6. They seem totally lost in operation, vision, deliveries, product. They are being forced to fly slots in NY right now with little demand. Loads are atrocious.

B6 plans on staying in T3. They want the whole terminal to themselves
To facilitate that, they are managing construction of T5. They will then give those gates to NK who will leave T3
Since passengers book flights often well in advance of their travel date and thus a weather forecast. Using your logic no one should ever book B6. For example, there may be a thunderstorm on June 18th, 2022 so I shouldn’t book B6 just in case? B6 sucks at irops and that isn’t the fault of the custo...
