I agree that PanAm, Delta and Trump did the East Coast Shuttle routes but am fairly certain that none of them ever flew LGA-PHL. DL bought PA out in the '90s and inherited the MAT gates while Trump took over the EA Shuttle and when he had some trouble, US got its management and the lion's share of its ownership. It may now own all of it.

The US terminal was owned by Eastern and that ownership was taken over by Continental when Lorenzo was cherry-picking EA's assets. It was subsequently long-term leased to US which now appears to have the right to assign the lease to DL.

My plat card came in the mail today :D
The s/o also received their gold card which included drink coupons. ^, mine did not :td:

In other news I found out that my mom was holding onto a CO 10% coupon she came across last month when taking a 4 hour WX delay. She claims she forgot about it :eek:

Yes, I did. My only excuse is I've been saddled with getting these kids (okay, young adults) to PHL and DEN, and the "best solution" (it after all, is my money, so therefore no object :rolleyes:) is they overnight at JFK, get to LGA in the morning, go out together on US that afternoon stopping in PHL, where one gets off, and the other plane changes to DEN with a 90-min connection.

It's beginning to cost a lot like Christmas.

This is 994 for me; I could easily chat with you to and thru 1000, but, no offense, I'm going to hold that silver bullet till tomorrow.

Oh, oh. They're all showing 994! I may be over; a logout/login is in order.

Pending government approval.

I hope the deal gets rejected.

Why? I figure that it doesn't really kill things too badly to swap them from where they are now. The routes in question are ones I'm almost certainly never going to fly anyways.
