As a bitter Pittsburgher, all I can say is Phoenix beware. Parker blatantly lied to us and kicked us in the teeth, and there’s no reason to believe he’ll treat you differently.

As a no-longer bitter 'Burgher (since I fled that union-controlled area around the time that Kroger supermarkets also left, also due to Big Labor thuggery), I'm curious about the current state of what I still think of as the "new aiport". From afar, I recall that it opened in the early 1990s with much fanfare and high hopes (built on the backs of taxpayer dollars).

Over time, with the loss of Allegheny USAir US Airways, it's my understanding that many of the gates have been shuttered and that dreams of world class airport have largely been shattered. I had a connecting flight through there a few year back and the airport was far from busy. Just my perception or is that reality?

At its peak, PIT had 633 flights/day.

Now it's 155, so it IS a sad reality.
