US Airways Shuttle has had a mixed fleet of A319's and A320's since they retired all their 727-200's.The shuttle fleet has been now streamlined and standardized to all A319's due to overall excess capacity in the LGA-BOS-DCA shuttle market with the competition by Delta Shuttle and as of late last summer by interloper American Eagle too with ERJ-135's. Delta Shuttle had an 737-800 fleet since they retired their 727-200's, but in the last few months they have replaced and transferred slowly but steadily all the -800's over to mainline and to be replaced by older 737-300's from mainline plus some older -300's acquired from Germanair, I believe.And this market is further complicated by American Eagle pentrating the market ! Of all 3 competitors in this market, it is American Eagle doing the worst with using small jets plus more than half of the flight are late !I wonder how much longer AmEagle is operating this service if they have not pulled by now.... As for US Shuttle service "seemingly" deteriorating right after they emerged from bankruptcy earlier this month with the slow check-in etc., it is that they lost a lot of manpower due to lay-offs while they were reorganizing and all this contributed to that effect....

Looks like they are all operated by A319s now; and let me tell you how they squeeze every single person in this planes that they can. It is really a shame, the customer service used to be so good and then one day, just happened to be the day they emerged from chapter 11, it got really bad. Standing in line the other night at LGA I asked my friend what was going on with the slow check in. He responded with, "Looks like an airline that is not in chapter 11 any longer." --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo.
