Yep, i am looking forward to riding on the A220 as well, watched a bunch of trip reports with all positive reviews.

I just did a GSO-MIA-GSO hop a few weeks ago on a E75, was a great flight and very comfortable, especially with half of the airplane empty on the first leg and a empty seat next to me on the 2nd leg!.. But yes to your point LKN704, it doesn't seem to fit the needs of a lot of the mainline carriers. It's my understanding that the CASM is higher than desirable, and that the maintenance costs for C and D checks are quite high. There also was some unfavorable with the CFM engine choice Embraer went with. Apparently underpowered and higher cost.

Runner up? Why so? I am a fan of the A320, but i personally prefer the E190 over the A320. On the E190 you are guaranteed a window or aisle seat vs a 3x3 layout. Faster boarding and deplaning than a A320. Also much higher chance that you will get a lower density seating layout with better legroom and seat width than on a A320.

ITA Matrix is a good tool to use to search for fares, just FYI for some who may not be aware that it exists.

I said that the old website looked terrible and have to say that the new website looks so much better. It's modern, clean and simple to navigate. Most of the links aren't currently working but I'm sure it's just standard launch problems. Perfect? No But a big improvement IMO.

They did a pretty good job of making something outdated still look really outdated lol.. that choice in carpet is something special. Maybe it looks better in person.

Damn, was this picture photographed with a potato? It's like -5 megapixel lol.

KJ, I am with you 100% on how great and how needed the street activation is with the retail and residential this project is bringing, but i don't think there is any excuse for how terrible they did with the design and execution of this project, specifically this freeway facing side. This may not be rational thinking, especially since its a money game, and i know it's simplistic of me, but why can't developers and developments be held to a higher standard in Uptown? I just think Uptown deserves better. Props to some of the high quality projects like 300 S Tryon, Ally Charlotte Center(so far), Dimensional Place, The RailYard etc..

Spirit coming in clutch with the crooked pictures again. Maybe too many Coronas lol

Yes, I would drive from Greensboro to come climb...just make sure they have enough V1, V2's and V3's for me lol Also, i didn't think this project could get any uglier from the freeway facing side, but i guess i was wrong.

That wood or wood looking material they used on the exterior is fantastic, wish there was a similar material used by Crescent on their property up the street on the freeway facing side. Would make a huge difference and work well with the wanderwall. Thanks for the pics KJ.

The plant vines are the best "architectural feature " of this project and Crescent didn't even have to pay for it.

I think i remember that, I was in college at UNCG dj'ing the weekends away on Japanese turntables lol. Always awesome to see you do the skyline renderings.

I love Miami Beach art deco. The colors are really something special, how they work with the water, beach and the palm trees..its def uplifting. I spend lots of time walking on Ocean, Collins, and Washington Ave when i am down there and enjoy all of the sights and sounds. I really like Miami Beach and Miami Metro in general.

Awesome! Thanks RDF

All it needs is a good pressure washing, possibly some sexier and more efficient windows and stellar unique signage.

What's so special about this ice cream that people are willing to wait in lines that long or is it just that there are no other ice cream shops near by?

Are you guys talking about the ramp space in front of the Terminal A Connector? Just trying to see if i am thinking about the right area. Edit. NVM I see now that it is using the A22, A1 gates your referenced above.

Nice photo with the reversers activated. Love the sound when the air is redirected. I am also guessing this plane will be going to the paint shop in the near future.

I enjoyed the modern appeal and uniqueness of the staggered windows, but I also like the huge bottom windows in the new render. Nonetheless, this project is muy caliente.

There goes that guy again walking around with his box of krispy kreme doughnuts taking pics.

Idk about the others on here, but after finally seeing the first piece of glass being installed, i am liking the shade, it's a bit different than the common shades of blue we usually see in Uptown. Second, i really like how it contrasts with the grid pattern, i think it will be refreshing to have the exposed pattern and not a complete glass curtain. Finally, i think the smoked panel looking top will be very solid, especially when illuminated at night.. just my take. Also, the contrast this building will provide to the bland and different era architecture of Legacy Union will be refreshing. I actually think it's going to be the one that stands out amongst the buildings for the foreseeable future. We will see once Legacy Union area gets built out how it changes.

KJ, i usually disagree with your opinion on what looks good architecturally when i read it on the forum lol, but just want to say i appreciate you always taking the time out of your day to grab progress pics of the projects for the forums. Thanks . This building is going to turn out very nice.

Any insight into what will be different than what they posted Jayvee?
