international flights that are scheduled to land and depart in the morning might be key.....

It would be nice if USAIR could get their domestic routes working properly before they try to expand further.

Regarding Int'l service:
I think they will have to have the flights spread out thru the day like Jim said above.
Regarding domestic:
I travel regularly for business and I am curious to know why a lot of people seem to have the notion that US Airways and/or PHL have such bad service. Granted the baggage problem was horrific, but that has been fixed to my knowledge. My last 7 flights the bags have come out in less than 8-10 minutes (really!).
Are the issues related to the recent weather delays or the connections? I don't have many issues with connections because I live in philly. I know people complain about having to connect to the "F" terminal from "A", but did you ever have to make a connection at DFW or STL when TWA was still in business (bring your running shoes cause its a lot longer!). Also, how long does it take to get your bags in Las Vegas?
I would be curious to know what some of these problems are, because I can guarentee you I have experienced problems in every major airport in this country.
Cheers and safe travel!
