US Airways Dividend Miles (Pre-FlightFund Merger) - EMB170 @ PIT?

Pittsburgh PA
US Airways 9301 45 11:59PM B PROVING RUN

that was from flypittsburgh.com .. is that for the 170?

yup

Saw it there yesterday. It would've been a nice plane w/ a nice FC cabin. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

With the flight simulators for this aircraft having been sent to CLT (instead of PIT as promised), I wonder if we'll see many of the new EMB170's at PIT.

2 of these puppies are currently parked at the end of B terminal. (49 & 50)

I believe they were 802 and 804. (possibly 801)

Saw one at ALB yesterday or the day before. It looks like the EMB 170 is going to be flying a route between here and PIT now or soon.

PIT-ALB is one of the routes that started on Apr. 4, 2004.

The EMB170 comes up as an option from SYR to both PHL and PIT on Apr 22. Kind of odd that when you click on the little blue "E70" you get a "Information not available" pop-up.

Not odd, typical of the usairways.com web site. US needs to hire E-commerce staff and pay them at competitive wages. Until that happens, you'll have the web site you see now.

I saw this COB on the employees website for aLoyalty Project Lead with an IT/E-Commerce backround. I pasted most of it in since no one can link without a password.

They ( management ) are trying.....

wonder what type of salary, benefits, and profit sharing they're offering up for this? Methinks it'll be a rough go competing for people with their preferred qualifications while they're out of $.
