I think this article is a little old, but regardless, I do have a comment. What the author states about SJC is not completely true. Terminal C does not have jetways, but Terminal A, home to American and Southwest, does have them. In fact, the whole bit sounds like he only considered Terminal C. I'm pretty sure I used the restroom at least one in Terminal A. -- David Mueller / HNL dmueller7@xxxxxxxxx http://www.quanterium.com ...fan of SJC's observation deck... --------- Original Message --------- DATE: Thu, 14 Aug 2003 10:26:46 From: clay.wardlow@xxxxxxxx To: AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: >3. San Jose International Airport (SJC). This was a surprise choice, since most of my memories of using San Jose International were relatively positive. Then again, most of my positive memories date back to 1984, when there were fewer people living in Silicon Valley, and the airport was really more of an airfield. SJC is just slightly better than the New York airports with its on-time statistics - about 17% of its arrivals and departures are more than 15 minutes late. But most of the criticism of SJC is that it simply wasn't built to accommodate the influx of travelers and the increase in security. > >Passengers and flight attendants I talked with tell me that the hassles at SJC are the worst on the West Coast, if not in the country. "I really hate the C Terminal," complains Sue Bradford-Moore, a retired public servant who lives in San Jose. "Since Sept. 11, security lines have sometimes stretched the length of a football field, through baggage claim and out past the passenger pickup area." Sharon Wingler, a flight attendant for a major airline, wonders: "How can such an upscale part of the nation have an airport without jetways? Also, there are no restrooms past security, so think twice before ordering that double latte."
