FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

! I'm considering changing my DCA-BOS-FRA US and LH F flights tomorrow to IAD-FRA on UA new F'd to save about four hours of transit time.

! Someone please talk me out of it.

! If you do that, you won't be able to see the pigeons that live in the US terminal at BOS.

! Sorry, that's the best I can do on short notice.

! I think the RCC at PHX predates the US/HP merger, and they're in a different terminal anyway.

! The RCC network was always pretty extensive -- there were RCCs in all sorts of places (BWI, CLE) -- and sharing the PHX RCC with CO might help keep it open.

! Because the UA terminal is about 4,000 miles from the US terminal.

! Pigeon is an apt comparison to some of the older fleet on US. Rats with wings.

! Sometimes, if the airport's big enough, UA just slaps in an RCC. They've got them in several airports which aren't hubs for themselves or partners, like:

! MSP
! SNA
! MCO
! SAN
! PDX

! Getting tired of prefacing every line with a ! already...
