Same Time Next Year

It’s been nearly a year since I wrote about the problems that come from
having 11 bosses who are not on the same page about anything, as well as

hopefully we'll see more of that in the near future
Murphy was an optimist
You folks are really getting overly excited over 2 commercial flights at ORH in 2 days.
It is showing our collective desparation re: ORH and reminds me of the prom queen who lets the ugliest guy in classs dance with her for 2 dances then blows him off for Greener pastures.
Another New England winter and we cannot even land a few flights per week to Fla. during the winter months.......or maybe we'll see a few more tour flights to Fla instead of AC during Febr. School vacation.
Bill did we ever get our $1M grant from Washington for this year (calendar or fiscal) for NOT meeting the annual 10,000 passenger goal? I ask, b/c if we do not get it, then what is our deficit.
I am slowly getting tired of seeing my taxes go toward a finacially unviable airport that seems to mostly benefit private flying interests on the collective backs of Worc taxpayers who realize no benefit from it.

After the Pats lost, we are all truly desperate people.
No, I have no hear anything about the $1,000,000. After 9/11, the DOT gave airports a break if they did not reach 10,000 commercial passenegers.
I highly doubt that will be the case this year and ORH will not get the $1,000,000. Who cares if we lose another million? Nobody else seems to care...
God, I wish I could have seen that today. But, I wonder if it will be coming back in the near future? If it does, I will be sure not to miss it.
A bird, an airline plane, no it's a charter.
Just keep remembering that an air force base is getting more passenger travel than a multimillion dollar WHITE ELEPHANT.
Close it down for good and let Grafton and the other GA airports do the work. As for airlines, I think Logan has it covered.
Four full 737s land and depart from Westover (aka the boonies) and zero go into ORH.
After seeing that picture...GEEZ...talk about a wet dream taking flight !!!!!

Anonymous, their A319s, not 737s, but what does it matter I guess. Anybody know how their flights are doing??? I'd like to know how the flight to Greensboro is doing, thats an unusual route.
anyone ever fly in to Nantes, France? I'm taking a puddle jumpah from Paris to Nantes and then a train to the Brittany coast for a wedding and some vino tasting..curious about the airports in Paris & Nantes..I usually just fly in to em and get out.you cats take this airport stuff pretty seriously
It is time to go on a road trip it's getting to depressing in the city and on the blogs
Careful Paulie, we may banish you to Worcester, ENGLAND !!! Although the people there are much friendlier and you will see people downtown after 05:00pm...

To the comment concerning four full 737's into CEF - if you meant four flights per day than yes but if you meant four planes per day that's not entirely correct - it's only two per day. And, as someone already mentioned they're A319s - not that the load numbers are really all that different.
Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuse meeeeeeeee!
Dave,
I've heard the Skybus ops in CEF are doing quite well to both Greensboro and Columbus (they just added a second daily flight to OH a few weeks ago) - but not half as well Skybus is doing in PSM. I think that CEF has limited potential with BDL so close by - but you never know. Delta and another airline (forget which) just downgraded their operations in Columbus OH due to Skybus - so maybe they'll put pressure on BDL with the same result but I doubt it...
