Now I know the Delta 757's exit behind row 5 or 6. Hopefully that extra five minutes will not cause me to miss my connection. Customs and Immigration in Atlanta is always unpredictable. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Big deal. It had nothing to do with the crash. Less experienced pilots take airliners thru turbulence all the time. |

| DRich Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 51 Posts: 4967 | How do they do it? I just booked a flight from Austin Texas to Las Vegas (2.5 hour flight) for $36 total. I love airline deregulation. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Why should the pilot get lunch? I never eat breakfast or lunch. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Passenger load last month at the local airport (Near Bethlehem PA, former Sands Casino | 90 minutes to EWR) 40.4% Allegiant (up to 7 vacation destinations with 4 in Florida) 25.2% American (to 3 hubs) 22.6% Delta (to 2 hubs) 11.4% United (to 1 hub) 0.3% Charters People complain about Allegiant Air, but without them we wouldn't even have much of an airport. They fly to up to 1050 miles, but not cross country to Vegas. Allegiant plans to base jets here in February and with Southwest pulling out of EWR maybe they will start flights to Vegas. |
