The headline article in this weeks Atlanta Business Chronicle is "Charlottes vs. Atlanta for China". It apparantly discusses US Airways wanting to fly the route, but I can't read more than the opening paragraph because I don't have a subscription. I was under the impression that USAirways wouldn't be flying the route anytime soon, so I'm just curious as to why it made the feature story this week int ATL....anyone?
They might be talking about the CLT-PHL-China route.
I could see "Charlotte" winning against ATL for the shear fact that CLT, and PHL, are both cities with no Asian flights.

Mr. Negative
ha ha, thanks. I'm a totally lost person when it comes to building stuff, unless if it's in the next big thing.
-
Call me Mr. Negative, But I already {in my mind} declare this dead... Only so I do not get all depressed
Expect the worst, hope for the best.
I do wonder, although, how exactly did we {UP} assume a German bank was moving some jobs to Charlotte? Just wild speculation? To me, this whole project is nothing but that; Specualtion.

The trailer park thing got me a little offended.... But Then... I remembered last night at the fuel pizza when we were doing Karoke, a guy with one arm named PJ was singing aboutbeing drunk, and another chick was singing Redneck woman....
I love Gastonia. All them development places in Mecklenburg and Union get on my LAST nerves {Beerwick, Brandon Oaks, ETC.}. That is one thing my relatives notice about the Charlotte region.

I remember reading that USAirways has more boardings than Northwest, and Continental.
Obviously they are doing somthing right? -
I was reading a article that USAirways was going to save hundreds of millions going with the A-350.
The A-350 is also supposedly going to be more advanced than the 787, and be more fuel efficient.
Airbus was even quoted that "Composite engines are old fashioned". The A-350 will be better than the 787 probably.
Besides, USAirways is getting A-330-200 aircraft to be delivered starting 2008 which can make a Asia-USA flight, I'm pretty sure. We are getting 8+ of them babies.
I know the guys at the sandcastle suck at running a airline, but I think they did somthing good for once.
Also, US would have went with the 787, And the A-320 family, but Boeing said all or nothing.
Let us also not forget our 10 757 ETOPS aircraft that will serve as Transatlantic aircraft.
10 757 ETOPS
8+ A-330-200
9+ A-330-300
9+ 767-200
22 A-350-900/1000
How did we conclude that going with Airbus was a bad choice?

have you been to singapores changi airport? wowowow. absolutely beautiful, hell it even has an art galllery.
On topic, there was an article in the paper two days ago with the usair spokesperson saying that clt would not be getting a china flight until 2014 at the earliest when usair gets the new airbus a350. In the mean time, usair does not have a plane capable of going the distance from phi - shanghai. they would have to lease or buy an a340-400 to make the trek and they are not exactly laying around for the taking. that is why, at least the article in the paper said, that usair would concede the 2008 china route award to delta and make the push in 2009.
USAirways is in the talks with some leasing companies with some aircraft, and Besides, I believe the A-330-200 can make a Asia/CLT/PHL flight, which is supposed to be delivered 2009.
USAirways tried to get Air Canadas A-340-500, but they did not bid high enough, or had clear plans, so they lost the bid.
USAirways, as far as I know, does not plan on getting the A-340 unless awarded a Asian slot.

I did not think there was a market for CLT-Beijing... I guess we will have plenty of connecting traffic to fill up the plane.

Assuming the worst, what is going on with Signature at this time?
Scaled down? Not built at all? perfectly fine? More office space, and less condos?

Hold on folks---sorry but there will NOT be a formal announcement this week....negotiations for additional parcels have taken longer than expected. The formal announcement will not come until the final renderings are ready and all trade contracts are signed. I cannot tell you at this point when that will be. There are not any problems...just that everything needs to be in place before they go "official." This only makes sense. As I mentioned before, when the formal announcement is made it will not be thru a 'Next Big Thing' article...we are talking televised press conference, etc.
As to architects, I can tell you this--LS3P was disqualified months ago. That article in the CBJ about "wanting to work with 'The Donald' himself" was just Tribble posturing so as to protect his reputation when Charlotte finds out that the architect is not LS3P.
I hope that additional parcel is that parking lot infront of the Ratcliffe.

ughh, I can not stand skylines without a clear dominant tower.
Wachovia,Bank of America, and Trump will be Charlottes signature towers, no?
-
I can't confirm this, however I have heard:
65-74 stories for the hotel resi portion- approx 1.4M feet (not definite yet because it is still being defined)
36-44 stories for office - approx 750K to 1M feet
2 story retail - 200K feet
Total = 2.35M feet + or -
So, will Tower Charlotte, and Bank of America virtually be the same height?

I was just wondering why Center City Partners decided to change the picture from Trump Atlanta to Trump New Orleans.
Did they just get tired of the Atlanta rendering?
-
hang in there a little bit longer--i think there will be some news by mid-week
I'm guessing the next big thing?
-
Personally, I think the takeover target will be Delta. I could be wrong, but why would UA want the step child US Airways? Its one big dysfunctional family, that will never change I'm afraid. America West has barely taken advantage of the potential synergies of the 2 year old merger and is in the process of shrinking the fleet. I have little confidence in Americas Wests ability to pull US Airways out of its "current" tailspin. "If" US Airways were the target it would be great for Charlotte, more service, world wide recognition.
Delta does not want to merge. Continental is one of the big ones in one world alliance {or whatever}, and United is one of the founders of Star alliance.
USAirways is in star alliance, USAirways is going to have a international expansion when we get our 20-30 widebodies {787,A-350} and 10 more A-330-200, USAirways has a shuttle,ETC.
USAirways has probably 2x more European, and Caribbean routes.
Do you really think a United/Delta, or Continental/UAL merger would make the DOT happy? I don't...

^ Deja vu all over again, I wonder what the differences would be between a United deal besides the fact that we wouldn't have the close proximity dual hub situation that exists with USA and Delta.

If a UAL/LCC merger went through, I would imagine this would be very good for Charlotte.

Nothing new really.
