'cause it's an RJ, and many companies have tried to do something in/out of there before. Seems only NKS knows the secret. I believe Spirit still does ACY-ORD. What would you rather fky in, an airbus or a RJ??

Jersey politics is the only reason this is happening. In exchange for burning Jet A for a few pax, the PATH will run right to EWR.
