Worst Hub Airport

[knewhigher]

Best:

1. CLT
2. IAH
3. IAD (if you do not take into account united ops or ramp)
4. CLE
5. DEN
6. JFK (not including the international push)
7. DTW
8. DFW

Worst:

1. ORD
2. PHL
3. EWR
4. LGA
5. ATL

just my opinion, which isn't worth much

Wow, didn't realize you all hated our little airport so much. Well, we enjoy having you there. Just remember. Don't stop and alpha or bravo and all will be fine!

 

[Quack]

Phlthy for sure!

 

[DOVPILOT]

they're all bad

Sewerk - EWR

I really like DEN for UA and STL for AConn. Then again I havent been to most of the bad places except for ORD (UA) and EWR (US)...and yes they suck!

 

[IHateDaley]

Only thing I can complain about is the busy ramps, especially when "Standby Sally" is working, but it's absolutely nothing compared to NY area airports...

You mean "Two Plane Jane?"

 

[LowlyPropCapt]

CLT is a piece of cake. In all honesty, I think PHL isn't all that bad. For sheer madness I have to say LGA takes the cake, especially during a 4/31 operation with "Miss Cleo" ("moniter tower, good one") working ground. Gonna have to take more fuel for that one!

Worst hub? That's a redundant question.
The worst one is the one you get stuck in most often.

 

[atl pilot]

I heard you gal from EWR is transferring to ATL soon. None of us are looking forward to it. I certainly hope they don't assign her to me to train. I just don't have the patience.

Working for Mesa + flying out of JFK = worst hub

Working for Mesa + flying out of JFK = worst hub

Mesa's contract did not have JFK in mind.

For those not familiar with the Delta RJ situation, they put about 15 airplanes at two gates. There isn't room to move so there are long delays going into and out of the gates. The procedure is you call your out time and wait for your turn to push. During the international push it may take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour just to push. Comair pilots are paid for the entire time, Mesa pilots are only paid historical block, so they are basically working for free. Ug!:bawling:

 

[say again]

Mesa's contract did not have JFK in mind.

MESA's contract didn't have anything in mind.

As per my past airline life- CVG was a great hub (though the area sucked). The worst, in my mind, was PHL, LGA, JFK (international push only), EWR. Never had a real problem with CLT.

Speaking of CLT, when is Republic going to open the rumored base there?

Probably just after they close IND.
