280 miles...hard to make that work with 737s and nothing on the other end except Phillie. Unless you actually want to go there or are in love with USAir onward to Europe or elsewhere, PIT is better served by many of the other hubs which surround it. WN and FL already cleaned out most of the North/South traffic from US out of PIT.

Not sure if it's about WN not being able to make it work, rather the plane better being put to work elsewhere. PIT-PHL is needed by US, not WN.

Not sure if it is about WN not making it work, rather the planes can make more $$$ on other routes. US needs PHL-PIT.

I dont know if you could call it sad, but KPIT's fall from being a major national hub has been pretty astounding. Seems like not too long ago you couldnt fly anywhere on USAir without stopping in PIT twice.

That seems to set some kind of record price for 280 miles. Wonder how many customers that get with that price. To me, it says, go some where else!

That is an expensive flight at $2.49/mile. Much like what Delta has done in KMEM; Memphis to New Orleans with a 7 day advance purchase is $825 or $2.72 per mile for a flight of 303 miles.

I wonder how many customers are will to pay that kind of money for those flights? Or, do you get a difference price if you going somewhere else and can get a packaged price? I understand about aircraft utilization (been in the business a long time and retired now). Would make more sense to go to smaller turboprops ( the express airlines ). They should have considerably lower operating costs.

Think its more to do w/minimal yield on a given route and reallocating acft to a more profitable route.

Not surprising it's $305 to fly from Salisbury, MD (USAir's Piedmont Express home base) to Philadelphia (109 miles, 14 days in advance) that's $2.80 a mile

Go figure... Southwest can't make it work, I wonder what USAirways is going to do with it. Pittsburgh used to be there main hub and corporate HQ, and pulled out.

John, Southwest does it 20-something times a day at DAL-HOU. In fact during morning and afternoon rushes, they'll launch one out every 15 minutes.

Only Steelers fans like PIT.

You made my point...there is some commonality on either end of the DAL-HOU flight and people speak the same language and share businesses at either end of that route.

I trained @ CHP when Allegheny was in still business. They had to have a nurse follow me around the clinic translating Pittsburghese into English during my first two months. At that time PITT wanted nothing to do with anything to the East of them.
