I don't see any threads/posts on the 17 route cuts The Points Guy confirmed from United this last Sunday.

I hope the Port of Pasco (PSC) gets some money back from United. They paid united $750k in federal grant money for the PSC-LAX route that was then switched to PSX-ORD before being suspended due to Covid.

Certainly if UA didn't live up to its end it should pay the difference between what it contracted to do and what it actually delivered. But $750k doesn't get you very far when talking about the cost per hour to operate a commercial airliner.

Some of the articles indicate that the IAD cuts on United Express to many southeast stations are permanent when United indicated these were coming back in 2023 once pilot shortages (hopefully) softened. Has that changed? I find it hard to believe that UA is permanently cutting some of those markets like GSO, GSP, GRR and MKE permanently from IAD given such large international traffic flow at IAD.

Yeah that isn't going to happen. Per the airport, the grant money ran out within the first 3 months of operation. https://www.tricitiesbusinessnews.co...12/lax-flight/

I believe my home airport DRO was subsidized in the past and fares were cheap. Now it regularly costs me $500 just for the RT 40 minute flight to Denver and the flights are packed. That said, at least we have lots of time options for a small regional, which is far preferable over a bad schedule.

My July 1 SFO-SBA segment just got dropped yesterday. Original routing OGG-SFO-SBA is now OGG-LAX-SBA. Actually preferred the LAX routing but it was $200 more when I originally booked. Flight departure and arrival times are almost the same as before, so for once, this worked out OK!
