Edward Fox:

US Airways officials should be more concerned about the third world airline they are running rather than the airport. I lived in Washington DC for 25 years and used the buses at Dulles airport for most of those years. With the midfield terminal, you no longer use the buses from the planes but they are still in use to and from the midfield terminal to the main terminal. Dulles has its problems but being a third world terminal is not one of them. I've have been to 6 or 8 third world countries in the last 5 years and would have been delighted to have such buses at some of those terminals. on the other hand, I find US airways only marginally better than some of those airlines. US Airways could also learn some lessons from some of those carriers about on-time flights and customer service.

Take care of your own business first US Airways. None of the international flights I've taken on US Airways in the last 3 years has departed or arrived on time.

How can any airline run a first class operation with no delays?.. You, dear traveler are dealing with the United States Government and don't expect a new radar system soon.. Until every traveler writes his or her congressman/Senator/President.. We are paying a great amount of taxes ( check you next cost of travel carefully) and what do we get for our money? TSA agents who can't catch bomb materials when they are tested?? but dare you wear your sneeks....Watch out..or wear your belt...Oh brother, they will get ya.probably a full body search to find that watch you left on your wrist... What a way to waste YOUR money and mine..
