Continental on Thursday morning, and United on Wednesday joined American and other airlines in announcing big cuts in capacity, reducing the number of seats for sale. The latest on Continental's plans can be found at this link.
Read what UAL's cuts announced a day earlier can mean for your travel plans later this year in this AP story. For PHL fliers, there's little impact from United's move, while other airlines are holding flights and capacity steady. Read details of that in a good, wide-ranging story by Linda Loyd found here.

I wish Southwest Airlines would come into the 21st century and have agreements with other airlines when their planes are unable to fly and you can only fly Southwest when you pruchase a ticket....Last flight was cancelled and I had to wait and fly stand-by on the next available flight the next day.. It took 2 days until I was able to fly stand-by...This is not a fly-by- night airline in Texas. It is the 2nd largest airline out of PHL. Business people cannot and will not stand for this type of business model....Wake up Southwest, and join us travelers in the 21st century..

YHS...that is the primary reason I don't fly
Southwest. Business travel can be so ... dynamic ... at times that I pay that little extra to get a little more coverage. I was in Dallas once flying American home and they had to cancel the flight back to PHL. American put everyone up in a very posh resort on a Friday night; maybe the fact that Dr. J was a passenger had something to do with it.

Maybe , with the airlines cutting back flights, the wait at PHL to take off and land will be cut. Now PHL will be up there with the other airports with little or no waiting time to take off and land....Great Job..
