Yet another DL Connection partner joins the fray

[TOOL CRIB]

We now have the only chopper service between Manhattan, JFKMay 10, 2007


Customers traveling to or from our New York-JFK hub now can enjoy the only eight-minute airport shuttle, through our new partnership with U.S. Helicopter Corporation. Starting Monday, our customers will have exclusive access to frequent helicopter service that operates between two New York heliports and Gate 11 at JFK Terminal 3.
"More than anywhere else, in New York time matters," said Jim Whitehurst, chief operating officer. "Our enhancements for customers at JFK continue, and U.S. Helicopter’s airport shuttle service is another way we're making travel easier."
Our on-the-go travelers will enjoy unrivaled benefits from U.S. Helicopter service, including eight-minute travel time between New York heliports in Midtown, Manhattan and JFK; federally regulated TSA security clearance at the heliports before arriving at JFK for departing flights; convenient check-in and boarding passes to final destinations for domestic and international travelers departing from and arriving in Manhattan; and baggage check to final destination for passengers traveling to and from Manhattan.
U.S. Helicopter will operate 27 daily flights, Monday through Friday, between the Downtown Manhattan Heliport, near Wall Street, the Atlantic Metroport at East 34th Street in Midtown Manhattan and our Terminal 3, Gate 11 at JFK. Additional service is available between Manhattan and Bridgeport, Conn.

They have had an agreement with CAL between thew city and EWR for a while. I think we as XJT can by a $50 non-rev pass. But no jumpseating

Do their pilots have to wear hats? What about ipods, backpacks and hair gel? Let's get to the stuff that matters!

Did you guys see their lines? What a bunch of crap. All day lines with 35 roundtrips between NYC and JFK.

hair gel and jockstraps are a must due to the vibrations.....

You know, I just got back from 12 days on the beach in Kauai and was having a crappy day. I'm back to work, in a hotel at IAH hating having to work and NOT being on the beach.

That just made me laugh Stifler. Thanks, bro. :beer:

I just talked to a couple of their pilots yesterday. They also codeshare with Continental and American. They do a lot of hops every day, but they only work two days one week, three the next, for a grand total of ten days a month.
