Re: A child takes control of traffic @ JFK during few seconds !
With all of the focus on safety and security, why are non essential persons being granted access to critical areas such as the tower? At some point common sense has to kick in! The dad and all present should be placed on leave. An airport like JFK deals with multiple INTL carriers, many of which don...

Re: Arik introduces A330 between Heathrow and Nigeria
Take a trip to JFK! (on the right day, of course) I know they are 1 of the carriers the city of Houston is actively pursuing. The INTL terminal here for foreign flag carriers is currently under a big expansion to supposedly add atleast 4 foreign flag carriers. They claim they have secured them but ...

Re: the 787 is rolling !
A little off subject, but it looks to me like the 2L door is located pretty close/in line with the number 1 engine. How will that affect the use of existing jetways at the 2L door for boarding and deplaning? Maybe im not seeing it correctly, any info? I know US Airways doesnt use the 2L door on its ...

Re: Pittsburgh gets transatlantic service to Paris with Delta
This is very interesting since Delta doesnt have a substantial presence @ PIT. US Airways used to fly this route in the past but discontinued it because they said it wasnt profitable. If Delta is successful on this route, the management @ US Airways should bury their heads in the sand. Delta will do...
