Delta's acquisition of US Airways gates at LaGuardia* has degraded the customer experience at LaGuardia. Security lines seem longer, and operating across two terminals sometimes adds a bus-ride to the journey. I did get through the TSA chokepoint quickly last night, because the TSA lady put me in the express line after I made a funny under my breath. 

Anyway, home. The dog, if I am judging certain characteristic behaviors correctly, was glad to see me.

My practice is to avoid the NY airports at all costs.

Admittedly, that's difficult when one's destination is New York.

But, bad times at those airports echo through the system like a stuck car alarm. I sat at Cleveland for hours Monday trying to get back to RDU when the United aircraft intended to carry me was, first, late from LaGuardia and, then, presumably, allowed to vanish into the ether. Eventually, a smaller aircraft was flown up from Charlotte.

Even when you try to avoid LaGuardia, LaGuardia reaches out for you.

I missed Delta's acquisition of US Airways in the news. Please advise on when that happened. Or is my sense of humor degraded by years and years of being surrounded by rightwing talkradio?

Thanks, Brad - I should have said Delta's acquisition of US Airways gates at LaGuardia, which transferred USA's GSO/LGA service to Delta. Fixed.

But it's still the case that Brad's sense of humor has been degraded.

There's humor in a Major Media Personality from the QC slumming in the comments here, no?
