While I was screwing around with one of my computers ACARS picked up the Allegheny A319 (N745VJ) operating out of LGA. The ACARSD database hasn't been updated yet to include the new registration so only the reg showed up. Unfortunatly I didnt add the "flag" correctly so I didnt notice the flight until after the fact.
Did anyone see it?
This is MOST annoying

What program is that and where do I get it!? That is some awesome info.
I use ACARSD...There are many progs out there like it though.
Some other one are Airnav ACARS
Other ACARS are Wacars, SkySpy, Airnav ACARS Decoder from AirnavSystems, Airmaster. ACARS is more of a hobby in itself than anything else. For me its like wacthing TV :) (which I dont do) :)
Senga
but...
where did you get that program? ;)
Got a call early this morning from work that 745VJ had been rerouted to visit LGA this morning. No time to do a thread with rush hour traffic,just hopped in the Maxima and high tailed it to LGA, I apologize to you all. It arrived around 1000 and departed at 1110 from and to CLT, and even though I had good access, the light as you know at that time can be problematic, but I hope I got something worth uploading As always aircraft routing's are subject to change, this morning was a classic example but as of now she is due back on both Friday the 14th and Sunday the 16th, ironically on the same flights both days, arriving at 1457 from PIT on 174 and departing back to PIT on 259 at 1545.
With in hours of Jay's shots hitting a.net and JP Tempe received over 300 e-mails from employees upset over the appearance of the tail and how small the Allegheny wedge is. All where told we goofed and this will be corrected very soon. This morning N742PS was rerouted BOS-LGA-PIT arriving at the PIT MTC base for a 24 hour visit, here is the free talk for her MTC Problem
***A319***
742 PIT SMILE UPGRADE 1100/12 1100/13
This was also promised by Tempe as the smile is not as wide as the real thing and US Management said lets get it right ! So the 745 tail re due could happen this week and effect her LGA visits. I will be off both Friday and Saturday but will do my best to keep everyone updated. I will call work from home on Friday for further updates !
BTW she looked better in person than I expected, some of you should be pleased !
Cheers

The guys in PHL got it...

As of 2100L on Thursday night no change to 745VJ's routing's so she should be at LGA Friday and Sunday see my above post for times, flight numbers.
N742PS operated PIT-SAN tonight with her new and improved PSA smile.
Do out of LGA at 0715 Sat morning and back in after dark.
Sunday on the Shuttle departing at 0800, 1400 and 2000 with arrivals at 1300 and 1900 !
Cheers

I was at LGA Friday afternoon and got to see VJ taxiiing and departing off of 13. Not a bad bird.
US announced on Friday instead of redoing the tail logo the entire aircraft is to be repainted to more accurately recreate the Allegheny scheme. In addition to the tail re-due, the black nose will be reduced, the stripe will be narrowed at the back, and the lower gray will be darkened and there will be a larger percentage of the fuselage in gray. They are saying 3 to 5 weeks before its back in the sky with the new look, for now its still in service. This will delay the PI Bird but will probably make for a more accurate PI bird so fine with me. US sure is listening to its employees !

they sure are. i had a great convo with doug parker when they first announced the heritage schemes about a few of the ideas i had for them.
kudos to US!
Okay folks here is the routing update as of 0950A on Sunday Morning. N745VJ has not strayed and is still on the same routing for today. US174 Arrive 1459 turns US 259 Depart at 1545 from/to PIT. On Monday it arrives LGA after dark to RON, then does Shuttle flying all day Tuesday. I will update those times from work.
N742PS is on MTC in DCA so no flights scheduled. It could still make an appearance in LGA later who knows.
I hope this is helpful ?

Sorry Senga, 174 is the weekday number, 1404 is the Sunday only number, me bad. And departure time is 1535, me bad again. And TowerAir MTC is an aviation industry abbreviation for Maintenance. 742 is still showing at DCA with no flights assigned.
