    Portland Bayside

    What a horrible, embarrassing mess. It's frustrating to see that neither side is willing to budge although Federated clearly dug themselves into this. Bayside is in such a sorry state. A giant hole of vacant lots right in the middle of the peninsula....I wish the city would just seize all of...

    Looks like 2x weekly on Thursdays and Sundays. I'll be honest I can't see that route doing too well. ISP has been one of the lowest load-factor routes for Breeze out of Portland (it was below 60% last year) and with AA resuming LGA there's already A LOT of lift to the NY market.

    General Portland Discussion

    It seems like it will be very similar to what was proposed in 2017-2018. Like the previous proposal it will also be a "Home2" branded hotel with frontage on Fore and India Streets with a pocket park along Middle.

    Now it's time to turn your influence towards that horrible carpet in the eastern side of the terminal! :p

    Thompson's Point, Portland

    I’m hearing that the Thompsons Point team has teamed up with Cathartes Development based in Portsmouth, NH on a 6-story, 250ish unit residential project on the site. They intend to formally submit an application sometime in early July.

    Tallest building in town, can you name the city?

    Yes! Decker Towers in Burlington. The tallest in Vermont at 124 ft.

    Tallest building in town, can you name the city?

    This building has been the tallest in its city since 1970. At one point several years ago it seemed like it was going to be superseded in height by a new development.

    Looking ahead at some peak summer schedules, we're definitely seeing the impacts of delivery delays from Boeing and Airbus. There are some small but notable frequency reductions in July and August Delta PWM-ATL is only 2x daily with 737-900's and A321's Traditionally it's 3x daily in the summer...

    Portland Passenger Rail

    It would be huge for ridership to/from Brunswick. Eliminating that reversing move would make the DE basically time-competitive with driving to/from Brunswick and be a good option for commuters working at Mercy / MaineMed.

    As I understand it...Amtrak is pushing to replace the DE's Amfleets with Horizons because they're very short of Amfleet coaches for the Northeast Corridor and they have an excess of Horizon coaches in their Chicago equipment pool.

    Is the Horizon replacement a done deal? I recall NNEPRA staff not being supportive. The Horizon coaches are -technically- newer but generally seen as inferior from both an operational and rider perspective (as you mentioned) ....and the Airo trainsets are still 4-5 years away.

    Will these gates be exclusive for American? If so we won't need to worry about 757's at those gates since AA sent all their 757's to the boneyard a few years ago. Seems like only DL sends 75's to PWM occasionally as equipment substitutes. Personally, I'd like to see United move to the western...

    I assume gates 12-14 will be reconfigured to allow 737/A320 sized aircraft to use those stands? Right now those stands are only large enough for CRJ's and E-Jets. (To my knowledge) I also assume this is intended to be a medium-term solution until the terminal is fully extended westward?

    I think we're actually starting to see an increase in demand for office space. Most companies have adopted a hybrid schedule and only about 15-20% of the workforce is able to be fully remote. The downtown office vacancy rate is back down to where it was circa 2018. It's also interesting that...

    Don't Montreal and Toronto-Pearson have US Customs preclearance facilities? In that instance international flights arriving from those airports would essentially arrive as domestic flights....no FIS required.
