Jump to postI cannot believe how much Eugene air service has grown in the past 10 years. Same, and even more surprising, a lot of that growth has been just in the last 2-3 years. WN and Avelo both started (as did aha! but that's another story), and pax numbers are up about 20% over 2019. I've lived here since ...
Jump to postAlso, at what point do we think we'll see FedEx or UPS mainline fly to somewhere like MFR or EUG? UPS built a brand new customer/distribution center about a 5-minute drive from EUG... I don't know if that means anything about their volume coming through the airport, but it seems possible. Fedex (or...

I suppose one way to look at the criminal charges is they could be a way to try to get Forkner to implicate others within Boeing. Staring at a big block of jail time has a way of focusing a person, and can make it easier to decide if you're going to go down, you aren't going to go alone. I guess ti...
Jump to postMaybe I'm lucky or blessed, but I have had a 35 year engineering career where I never spent time off due to lack of work. It's even easier now that so many places offer remote work.

Jump to postFor me as an engineer the generic schedule/budget pressure rationale doesn't hold water. There always is schedule and budget pressure.

I feel like that wo...
Jump to postLooks like Avelo Airlines is going to start BUR-EUG/MFR/RDM 3-4x weekly. Will be interesting to see how they do! Between that and WN starting up at EUG, that's a lot of new mainline service coming over the next few months. I have to wonder what they are all going to do for gates (though at a relati...
Jump to postAt one point I recall hearing that over 50% of the Eugene area's market (catchment area) choses PDX for fare difference/ non-stop service, so it certainly makes sense that WN will be able to develop a market in Eugene.

I actually think that UA2555 is not the flight for Berkeley. I believe that is the ferry flight for UCLAs return plane back to LAX if you look at the timing of when it is headed up to EUG. The plane that is taking UCLA up to EUG is headed back to SFO for normal service right after it drops off the ...

Jump to postAgreed, that's a heck of a list.
I do know F9 flew EUG-DEN briefly in 2013-2014, they changed their minds pretty quickly (as they tend to do). I suppose the "old" Frontier might have as well, but more recently it was F9.

With that in mind, now that the financial impact of the merger seems to be in the past, I'd love to see the airline crack its wallet a bit for a couple of improvements. First, it seems like standards for cabin deep cleaning have gone downhill a bit lately. Maybe it's just bad luck, but I've been on...
Jump to postLooking at the whole year, it seems like the winter weather in late February/early March put the numbers behind what they would be otherwise - at least in EUG, the YTD figures were below 2018 until Aug/Sep when they have just caught up by less than 1%. Not sure if the weather impact in PDX was as se...
