The next month in US Airlines
#1
Posted 07 October 2005 - 02:55 AM
Independence will announce the parking of the rest of their CRJ fleet, and Virgin America will announce their aquisition of Independence.
Chautauqua will see a 20% reduction in 145 flying, and a 30% reduction in 135 flying.
Comair will lose 30-50 aircraft.
Skywest/ASA will get through unscathed.
Mesa will scrap their plans in Hawaii. If not, and even more distant prediction will have Mesa failing miserably.
Within the next year, American will file for bankruptcy.
Just some educated predictions. Discuss, and don't forget to invite your friends!

Independence may get to keep at least some of their identity. Although I do believe (unforunately) that it is near the end for them.

That's just speculation, though.

Listen, until Jane Campbell (mayor of cleveland) gets her head out of her @$$ and realize that CLE needs a bigger runway for bigger planes so CLE can become the next CVG, CO will not progrees b/c they have two real hubs and one that they want as a real hub. Why did we relect Campbell......
but, CO will still be the best of the legacys, even after bankruptcy is over for NW, US, UA, and DL b/c they have one thing that the others don't have: management that keeps employs happy

Delta/NorthWest Merger would not be good. Delta is way to deep in debt at the moment. If they can start to get rid of some of their debt then a merge could possibly be forseeable.

That so scares me. I can't stand Delta. Sooner or later one of the bankruptcy courts or somebody will relize that it may be beneficial for the industry as a whole to have some of these airlines go completely under instead of allowing them to merge or reorganize. I'm just wondering which airline will be the first to get with it. That should send a message to the existing airlines that multiple bakruptcies will not be tolerated. Shareholders and employees should be tasked with keeping an eye on upper management and making sure they airline does not go into bankruptcy.

And who said this was a deregulated industry?

CLE doesn't need bigger runways. It's got enough traffic already. http://www.airliners....file/266005/M/
That's one of my favorite shots.

i really don't like how continental is handeling cleveland...it really sucks. i believe they only have seasonal service to london gatwick on 757's...if there was a bigger runway, i could easily see BA and AF making flights to paris and london...as well as some more destinations for CO, such as amsterdam, rome (there, im being optomistic), and paris. maybe even on bigger planes than 757's. There's market in cleveland that's not being taken advantage of, in my opinion.
sorry about your mayor, that must really suck.
my little airport (Corpus Christi) is finally going to be called an International Airport again!!!!! Aeromar applied for service from Reynosa - Corpus and Monterrey - Corpus, starting Nov. 15, still pending gov. approval though

Another problem also is the fact that the NIMBYs are out in full force. Campbell wants all or nothing and refuses to allow negotiations for time-restrained slots.

If AKR had any type of brain at the moment, they would extend their runway, build some train tracks to CLE, and tell CO to come on over. I wish.
