Not to be disrespectful with the crew, overall they’ve managed the situation very well, but hearing the audio with ATC, the lady doing the radios sounded very nervous and shaky, on the verge of being overwhelmed. She also gave confusing information a couple of times ( fuel on board numbers were hig...

Total flights at PDX for the month of April dropped to 14,094 from 14,874 in April 2018. Hard to believe with the population growth and a relatively booming economy. The port has a lot of work to do to reverse this. So first, not sure where you're getting those numbers. According to the report, the...

Jump to postSo there are standards about on-concourse amplification, speaker placement, message, etc. Concourse B, for example, is at approximately the corner of 20th and Brunside. Look at this Airport Cooperative Research Project report: https://pubsindex.trb.org/view/2018/C/1496281 In it, you'll see: the high...
Jump to postI flew VX for the first time a couple of weeks ago LAX-JFK, EWR-SFO, and SFO-PDX. I found it interesting, but underwhelming. The planes are nice and fairly comfortable, and the in-flight service concept is unique, but none of it is worth a premium. I thought the mood lighting on the plane was a litt...
Jump to postApparently my earlier reply was deleted, so I'm reiterating a couple of thoughts here: Suggesting that someone deserves bodily harm for standing up for themselves in a non-threatening situation is just simply absurd. This man did not deserve the outcome, regardless of the rules or the statutes or th...
Jump to postI think that's quite a bit of hyperbole. Will there be changes? Certainly. The total cessation of flights, though? Absolutely unlikely.
Jump to postAnd one might say VX did pretty well for a young airline in such a cut throat business. Who might say that? On the rare occasions that VX made money, it was because of low fuel prices, not because of anything they did themselves. If the Board of Directors thought that they did "pretty well&quo...

A.net myth. But keep perpetuating it.
The difference to some is that Jetblue at least seemed to have more in common with Virgin America. I'm not sure how accurate or relevant it is, but for those who wanted something "different", Jetblue was the next best thing. Sure, but AS had the checkbook, and that's what counts. Were B6 ...
Jump to postBut good luck telling passengers you killed their special thing, but you added some subtle blue light and your profitability is better. Hate to say it, but the "special thing" of VX was going to die one way or the other. It wasn't big enough to be sustainable on its own or profitable enou...
Jump to postEAS certainly is in need of reform, but I don't support cutting the whole program. Prior posters are right about remote portions of the west, especially parts of Oregon, Nevada, and California -- those communities really do depend on the service without many viable alternatives, so it needs to stick...
Jump to postI sit here and contemplate whether I want to blow my last flew paychecks, go up to the airport and head down to Maho for a few days. Reality is I need to pay for my bills so a web cam will do for now. Visiting SXM, Maho, and St. Maarten in general is fantastic. I'd highly recommend it. In addition ...
Jump to postWelcome, Jeff and VerticalScope. I wanted to add my thanks for being so open and communicative here. It's a very refreshing change. I'm also an old-school user (17 years and counting).

Jump to postI'm pretty shocked at the behavior of Demand Media here, not just for their botched overhaul, but for the contempt that they're showing longtime users. I posted earlier that in my opinion, Demand Media is making a shortsighted decision to end the First Class program for those of us who are willing t...
Jump to postWait, are you saying there's no paid subscription option so we can't do anything to get rid of the ads? As far as I know, that's the way it is.

Jump to postI don't think the impact from obesity has a demonstrable direct impact on costs like fuel, etc... but there is an argument that there are indirect costs -- for example, the perception of crowded cabins causing people to book away. It's a weak argument, though, since it would affect all airlines, not...
