Well, statistics show that in the past when the jet routes decreased, turbo-props picked up the slack. It's not so much that they're looking out for "number 1," but financially it makes sense.

It sucks that US Airways and PSA are loosing routes, but I bet you a dollar to a doughnut that once the economy recovers you will start seeing US Airways/PSA flying these routes again. Just be patient...

Good luck and keep the faith...

Well, then he is just another trite inexpert Riddle punk who could give a rip about anyone other then himself. So therefore, I agree with you. Rant over, carry on...

By all means please blame me for all the failings in this industry. I believe the title of this thread was PDT News and RUMORS! And yes I love hearing how all my friends, several who are at PSA are all losing their jobs. (Oh and since you can't hear my voice I am typing very satirical.) If you can't add anything worthwhile to this tread and you just want to degrade someone else or cause trouble, please just keep it to yourself. *rant/defense over.

To get back on topic, I was told today we will be starting PHL-EWR in March with an originator in EWR. Any truth to this?

Ok, here are some:

1) Flow through is right around the corner

2) Jets are on the way

3) Mesa is buying those jets to run under their own brand

Ooops, sorry, these rumors are from 1994....

Though some times it feels like we(PSA) are a red headed step child.

This probably doesnt have much to do with anything, but did anybody notice under the "view bid lines" and "view bid awards" on the PDT website that under the base selection options SYR is there? Was it there before? I swear it wasnt.. Might not have been paying attention, though.
