The front seats of a 737 are better than just about any seat in coach, especially if it's a full flight.

Yeaterday on top of the ###### weather both ILS's went out around 745pm. The PEK-EWR flight diverted to BWI. Our 230 flight took off at 856 and after nearly 2 hours in the air and a few holding patterns finaly got to the gate at 1050pm. By the way the crew was going to time out if they were not airborne by 902. By it by 6 minutes. So with the holds theeir duty period started at 710a and the landing was at 15h 40m of duty.


EWR SUCKS!!!111one11!!

Yea...but I had heard that USAir had majorly scaled back their PIT operation. And instead were building up their PHL & CLT hubs.

This of course was all before America West "saved" US Air...

Its not that its a "ghost town," Its still a major class B airport. I'm not to sure about it, I'll talk to my uncle and read some stats, BTW, your source (not arguing, just curious)?

PIT most definitely is a ghost town. I don't think I've ever been delayed there. Ever. The airport is pretty empty at pretty much any time of the day.

Walk the terminals (except around the SWA gates) and you won't see anyone. The story I heard is that US Air pulled out when the airport raised their pax fees. When US Air left, the airport board was like WTF? and drastically lowered their fees to get more airlines interested. That's when SWA and Jetblue swept in.

I have heard US Air wants to put a little more flying back there. I believe the Republic 175's will be based there.
