"Bronson"?

Maybe Branson?

Oh, no, my mistake. You're right--it is Richard Bronson. Make sure you spell it right when you send it that resume... TC

About the only positive thing I can say about high-oil prices is that it has prevented new-entrant carriers from starting service. The last thing the U.S. needs is another 100+ A320's being dumped into the market.....trashing yields further.

High oil also has drained many airlines extra cash, preventing large asset buys from bankrupt carriers.....(At least I hope so....)

Bye Bye--General Lee

I will have to disagree on this one.

I was based in SFO for nearly three years with UA. The delays at SFO come nowhere near the delays I've experienced on the east coast for the past year. LGA, JFK, FLL, BOS and EWR all stink. Heck, I was delayed about 3.5 hours tonight at BOS because of a little rain in the area.

As for west coast airports SFO is probably the worst as far as delays go. However, I thought SFO was getting (or has now) a PRM approach that allow for staggered ILS approaches on 28L and 28R. Also, how much has traffic declined at SFO since United started downsizing?

Since SFO doesn't have much low fare competition I would think it would be a great place for a bunch of E190's (David, are you reading this?) so long as they could schedule around United's banks.

yeah- we've been trained on the PRM approaches and have been doing them for about 6+ months now. I've only had the chance to do one and we broke out above 1000' AGL. The stupid TCAS keeps going off and getting louder and louder everytime. You can hardly hear the other person talking.
