Checking the BKL arrivals today now I'm curious about callsign EDDIE91 and the "Sharp Airlines" flights arriving from KLCK (Rickenbacker Intl near Columbus) in rapid succession... wondering if that's the Thunderbirds?

I looked through the logs on Flight Aware and didn't see anything related to the UA 737. In years past I know they've chartered it from CLE.
I did see this gem with one of the thunderbirds practicing. The call sign wasn't being coy about what it was!

Just got an email from United that they're starting nonstop service from Cleveland to Nassau, Bahamas (NAS) on Saturdays in December...
Now the Bahamas (and well, the Caribbean in general) is not my favorite place to visit that's certainly interesting. And preclearance at NAS means no need to meddle with CLE's FIS situation...

And what recourse is there if a return flight is missed?
As far as the Caribbean goes, try St Lucia sometime.
RNE, mentioning that I proposed to TSMRSRNE on Orient Beach.

United wants to fly CLE-NAS this winter. All the service they added this summer it’s a good situation. Lots of UA dedicated flyers still out there.
maybe did not participate due to the pendemic.

PD article says UA adding LAS & PHX seasonal to CLE starting in December.

United said it will be flying “the most departures the airline has flown from Cleveland’s Hopkins International Airport since 2014,” the year the carrier closed its hub here.

Also great news for employees crew and maintenance base are probably safe. What other routes do they need to bring back
CLE-PBI seasonal Frontier operated briefly
CLE-LHR at least seasonal
CLE-SEA at least seasonal

Out of these, I think CLE-SEA is most likely. UA seems an unlikely entry for this city pair; I imagine Alaska or Delta would be most likely. Do you think Cleveland/Seattle could generate enough traffic to make a daily nonstop profitable?

I *think* LHR is still slot controlled and can't imagine UA would cannibalize a slot from one of their hubs so they could serve Heathrow out of CLE. Also, neither LHR or CLE (anymore) are *A hubs so there's really not much opportunity for connecting traffic on either end, especially compared to Oneworld at LHR.
SEA... both SkyTeam and Oneworld are stronger than *A there so it's not a big priority for UA to go after more business there.
PBI... is it big enough?
As for CLE, I've heard from a UA employee that talk of eliminating the base was dropped long ago.

Ancient scrolls recently excavated in the archaeological digs beneath the ruins of Concourse D shockingly describe there having once been 3-per-day, 7-days-per-week flights between Cleveland and Las Vegas. "Absurd!" and "Nonsense!" say local historians who insist the scrolls are apocryphal. "Cleveland never had it better than it does now," maintains Prof. N. Compoop. "Praise Scott Kirby," says the Grand Poobah of the Cult of United.

Unless you can make good money on O/D traffic to GRR and BUF, I can't see why UA would have any interest in servicing those cities from CLE.
