Only 20 on a plane that can carry 126... That flight need to be significantly downgraded at least to a CRJ even a CRJ200!
Hey hey, it was 27 passengers not 20 :)
well they saved on fuel not spent didn't they!
What is really intersting besides the low PAX count, is the fact that it took off from LaGuardia, just like the US Airways Flight 1549, and they are building the new garbage transfer station adjacent to the Airport, BUT IT IS MODERN AND CLOSED IN AND WON'T ATTRACT BIRDS.
Yea, right
Yea, right
I agree with Mr.Wayne, La Guardia is definitely a problem with birds, but the problem is NY is so populated and everyone cares about the stink of a garbage dump except for birds and airports. So they need to do something and fast, and it doesn't entail expanding it.
