Southwest and US Airways execs in town

Look for some news in the next couple of weeks from US Airways and Southwest, PHL’s two largest airlines in numbers of passengers.

Southwest will be up first, with chief executive Gary Kelly in town Wednesday night and Thursday at the invitation of the Temple University School of Tourism and Hospitality Management. Perhaps the airline will take the opportunity to reveal plans for the additional flights from PHL that it says it wants to start.

On May 15, US Airways will hold its annual shareholders meeting at the Radisson Warwick Hotel in Center City. Look for some pilots in uniform and few of the airline’s other 5,600 PHL-based employees to show a keen interest.

Mr. Belden:
RE: Airport blog...just let each plane wait approx. 30 SECONDS LONGER. Is that too much to ask when considering all the negatives of the FAA's flight plan. (The word 'plan' is a stretch, since they HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS IS GOING TO COST TAXPAYERS, AND NO CONTINGENCY HAS BEEN MADE TO INSTALL A PARALLEL RUNWAY NEXT TO THE MAIN RUNWAY.) And, God forbid, UPS has to re-locate.
