Which Feeder Airline will fly to CUBA first?

[jws717]

I had an overnight in Havana once (broken airplane), and I wouldn't say it's any more dangerous than any other Latin American country. It's a popular vacation spot with a lot of Europeans and Canadians.

Dam that must have been a huge pile of paperwork. What broke?

The right main landing gear was pissing hydraulic fluid all over the tarmac. Yeah, it was pretty bureaucratic, but the company took care of everything. Beautiful country, impoverished but very friendly people.

American Eagle has been flying Miami to Havana for years, US crew, but none of the passengers can be US nationals. Count on an hourly shuttle service from MIA to Havana and JFK-Havana as soon as it opens up. Have to dig in more, but I think Eagle has been doing the ATR to Havana longer than Gulfstream has been in there.

 

[Inconceivable]

Haha.......... not only is it replacing DC-9s, it actually looks like one.

It IS a DC-9. The wings and fuse are built on the jigs from the MD-90 program they exported to China. All that is new are some RJ engines and updated avionics--and lead in the paint, asbestos in the seats, and melamine in the potable water.

Gulfstream IA has been doing it out of Miami for years

I think Metro already addressed that, with, ".....other retarded companies."

Exactly. If you think Cuba is a dangerous place, you haven't been there.

American sends in mainline 737s during the Christmas season. Many airlines have done charters to Cuba from Miami. You can be a U.S. national, but you need a license from the state department (research, journalism, etc). Cuban nationals can return every three years (it used to be every year).

No shortage of flights from Miami as it is now:

Republic will get a contract to undercut Cubana.

How do you say Scab in Spanish?

hahaha, I love that. good one

Undercutting Cubana? jeez Fidel pays his pilots practically nothing as it is

Smoothest runway I think I have ever Landed on.... went there back in 04 with Eagle....

Which means they probably couldn't afford to groove it...

 

[AMANSWORLD]

Yeah... Cuba is such a dangerous place... We should all fear the people there. What with all their money and power and all.

So is Washington DC. They have one of the highest murder rates in the USA (and not getting better). Cuba's people are for the most part very friendly and unlike other certain races and cultures they actually have are productive people. You ask how I know this I have been to Cuba several times both in and out of the military. I have friends that are from there and they are good people. You need to understand the culture before you can make that assumption.

It is kinda like saying when was the last time a black guy held a job for 4 years, funny yes, racist yes , truth we will see.

BTW OCP I know you are being sarcastic. Have a good one.

I've never heard the Maha Rushie say that Cuba was "dangerous."

You must have him confused with some infobabe on FauxNews.

I cant wait till Cuba opens up. Lift the embargo and watch it grow.
