SWA dropping PHL-BOS?

[IslandDriver]

Also no more MHT and PVD to PHL. Airways does that too in RJ's. It is a hub for them...we us BWI. I wonder how many on Airways stay in PHL or just use it as a transfer point. I know when I have done PVD to PHL with a load of 100 or so we had like 25 thru passengers. Not worth it to tie up a plane in the mess we call Philly. I think a lot has to do with tieing up our planes and delaying them all day when our "hub" is BWI with much less delays.

Also pulling out of BOI-SLC route non-stops in JAN.

All these short flight reductions will make a commuter's life even more difficult. Just wait until the Wright Amend goes away in 2014. LBB, MAF, AMA and all the other small texas station will see reductions as well.

Kinda strange to me that there is more hype over the CNXL of PHL-BOS, OVER the PHL-PIT route. I've looked at those PHL-PIT manifests. They (on average) carry a TON of Airways jumpseaters and flight attendants.

Hey, we were always glad to help the USairs crews back and forth to PIT. But the harsh reality at SW is..if it doesn't pay the bills, we don't do it.

Seems to have worked pretty well for 40 years running.

No kidding. You pack a plane with non-revs and what do you get? No revenue.

Also gone, PHL-PVD and PHL-MHT.
