    Favorite NYC Airline

    What is your favorite New York City Airline? You may have more than one.

    Mine are JetBlue and Delta.

    I'd say U.S Airways, American, then jetBlue. Although I fly WN as much as I can out of ISP.

    ....actually, what is a New York City airline??? Based in NY? Flies into NYC?
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    I like American and jetBlue.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Pan Am, Eastern, and TWA. Not only because of the service they offered, but because they were at one time or another major NYC employers and made lasting contributions to the local economy.

    With costs being such a focus, even our current 'hometown' airline JetBlue outsources maintenance to El Salvador and I am sure if they could get away with it, no airline management would really choose to pay current NYC area labor and other costs.

    new york airways ,loved the BV107s, and pan am,and twa back in the day of course. and american when they sill flew astrojets. that about covers it.
    The beehive hummm of the JT9D and GE CF680C2,the thunder of the JT8D-17,the rumble of the PW1830 and the high ,thin whine of the PW 545A are all music to my ears!

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
