Re: What A Nightmare!
Unfortunately this whole bus thing may send the wrong message to the public. It's basically a demonstrative, apples to apples comparison of driving versus flying over the same route. Expect to see yields and loads steadily fall in LAR and CYS, followed by the cessation of air service. My humble prediction. BOS-PWM and BOS-MHT both have had comfortable bus service introduced in recent years. Whereas there were almost 400 American Eagle SF340 seats a day between each of those cities in the past, now there are only a couple of RJ's/day in those markets. There's alot of different factors at work there, but suffice it to say that shorthaul air service is an increasingly tough proposition. Competing with oneself probably won't make it more attractive.
Ha! Extra staffing for a bus operation = more people to fire! Imagine how crazed the man will look when he's single-handedly working a Beech and a bus.Heavy_D_Driver said:
