[PRCo] How far off TRACK can we get????

[Bob Rathke]

For some, 15 minutes was a lot of time to get to the gate.  In the1970's I sometimes traveled with a co-worker who more than once arrived at the gate about a minute before the aircraft door was closed. 



We were in Pittsburgh a few weeks ago, and with the 70mph speed limit  I figur ed that driving the 500 miles would take about an hour longer than total time taking the plane .  Plus the car was more comfortable than coach  and  I di dn't have to pay at least $100 to check our bags, and then pay for a rental car in Pittsburgh.

Airlines?   I can remember when you could dash up to the gate with 15 
> minutes to spare, get on the plane and go …. 


Me too. July 2001. 28x was late, I got to the airport at 8:06am and was not 
the last person seated on my 8:15 departure, which left on time.
