No Direct Flights?

Direct is not non-stop. Chances are it was headed towards Ernesto.

Also, it you really paid 'top dollar', it would have been a fully refundable
fare. You really need to read the fine print when you buy an airline ticket.

What kind of plane are you planning to buy that will get you from PIT to DFW
faster than an airline? Unless you're doing it weekly, you would be better
off with a charter.

I wasn't too happy when I got the call from AA few minutes ago. I paid top
dollars to get on direct flight from Pittsburgh to Dallas. That flight
would
leave first thing in the morning, 7am, I got the called few minutes ago
and
was told that my flight was cancelled and they won't say the real reason
behind all this. Now, I am being forced to fly to New York before I can
get
to Dallas. Refund or at least some of it? They simply laughed it off! I
feel
that I am being treated as prisoner, NO FREEDOM! This is one of those
reasons that I have to consider owning a plane.

Anyway, any thought about Airlines' current operation? Do you think they
cancel on purpose to save bucks because of few seats?
Time for me to hit the sack since I have to get up in few hours.

My Navion will get me from PIT to DFW in around 5 hours this morning
according to aeroplanner. The PIT-LGA-DFW flight this morning has
a elapsed time of 6 hours. Factor in getting to PIT early to clear
security, the fact that there might be closer airports to both the
origin and destination that PIT and DFW (the Navion only needs 1000
feet of runway), and the fact that I can depart when I choose, it's
looking like light GA is a winner on this route.

What does that thing cruise at? (starting to turn green)

I show it as 925NM. Can you cruise at 185 knots?
