Ah good...The beatings will continue until the moral improves, eh?

"'The regional jets are littering the skies,' says one airport manager."

Yeah, it's ALL the regionals' fault.

300 bucks a flight...that's nothing...you pay close to that for landing on time in YYZ!

Partly, yes it is. When you start flying more jets into the same gate space things start backing up. It's basic math.
 
Re: Attn: Major Carriers...Don\'t Be Late at Logan

Do you get a late arrival charge if you got held up because of Flow Control Management Program at another airport?

Do you get fined if you are held up by weather?

The whole thing seems to need a lot more thought!

That is to say I've not come across many airlines that deliberately try to run late, as far as I'm aware they usually get held up, the problem is I think that if one route is bad and hold up a plane then that plane itself is late, and the knock-on effects to the rest of the schedule cause problems, will we see the days coming back of standby aircraft all over the place to avoid these fines?

Ahem - well the "express" regionals don't control that schedule, that's done by mainline.
 
Re: Attn: Major Carriers...Don\'t Be Late at Logan

Number of jets in the sky (and more importantly at the gates) was my point. Schedule can help some but if you fly MORE airplanes to the SAME gates it takes MORE time to get all of them through. Again, basic math.

Re: Attn: Major Carriers...Don\'t Be Late at Logan

Exactly...the airspace argument I mite be able to buy, but not a gate space argument...Just go to ATL, ORD or places like that and see how tight they stack RJs into gates.
 
Re: Attn: Major Carriers...Don\'t Be Late at Logan

Even if you can get two or three airplanes at one specific gate it still takes time to coordinate moving those aircraft in and out ... pile enough of them in there and things slow down.
