  1. I flew on the Continental ATR-42 out of Hobby to IAH several times as well as the Embrear 120 out of EFD to IAH. The terminal at EFD looked like two mobile homes stuck together. Years before this there was a dedicated Continental DC9 that flew from HOU to IAH called Houston Proud I believe. There should be some pictures on the web. While we are here, anyone remember the old Clear Lake metro port? Metro Airlines Twin Otter service to IAH?

  2. Hipster

    hip-sturn. One who possesses tastes, social attitudes, and opinions deemed cool by the cool. The Hipster walks among the masses in daily life but is not a part of them and shuns or reduces to kitsch anything held dear by the mainstream. A Hipster ideally possesses no more than 2% body fat.

    Sort of like a lemming?
  3. All the network airlines including in Europe have the biggest threat from Emirates, Qatar, and Ethiad Airlines. Their government pays for their fuel, which give them an advantage. Delta last year spent 8 billion dollars on fuel, their highest cost. Lufthansa Airlines is protesting Emirates wants more slots at the new Berlin Airport because they will not give LH more slots at Dubai. WN does not even compare to these airlines in the middle east. That is a whole different page they are still considered the cattle car. You can find more information on flyertalk.com if you are a frequent flyer.
    I'm guessing you we're trying to make an example here with UA/WN? I guess one thing I could take from this is that Hobby would be somewhat safe from a situation like EY/EK/QR taking the wind out HOU's international sails.
  4. They should only preserve the frame and put a nice artificial park with pond and all (all already suggested) but add LEDs to the the frame and lights to have the same effect the Eiffel Tower has. Every hour a light display, twinkling, etc.[/quote ]

    Then it could become our Coliseum and eventually Yanni might play there... Or was that the Acropolis? :)

  5. Like Southwest, I really hope Houston ups its investment in Hobby infrastructure such as the parking lot, pax arrival/departure lanes, freeway connectors directly to the airport and even buying up some of the adjacent land and extending 12L.

  6. I remember his critics called him "Out of Town Brown". Going out of town via the out of town Brown terminal, heh, that's funny.

    That's hilarious. In the same vein, Austin should name one of it's terminals after Perry.

    Or at least one of the terminal busses... "Perry Ferry"?
  7. Phoenicia needs to sell food too. :)

    Also you might be surprised how much we downtown yuppies eat out. I'm really lazy.

    While I see the benefit of both sides, I must point out that my wife and I live downtown and spend on average $3500.00 a month eating out. Albeit, probably less than $500.00 is spent in the downtown area. However, with more new restaurants opening, we are starting to walk to dinner a little more.
