Portland International Jetport | PWM

The schedule adjustment may be due to limitations with pilot hours and crew rest seeing these are the longest transcon flights in the country. This change to a Sunday morning departure rewards the crew with a layover in Portland which I'm sure is welcome. Maybe they had a crew deadhead to Portland for the return when the service originally commenced?

Was surprised to find that there are only four New England and upstate New York airports that have service to California and they are BOS, PVD (seasonal), BUF (seasonal) and PWM (seasonal). BDL, ALB, ROC and SYR have zero flights to the west coast and are all busier than Portland when it comes to enplanements. PWM and BOS are the only two airports in the entire region (not counting NYC area) that actually serves more than one California destination. Pretty impressive for a city of only 70,000!
