Talk:Tweed New Haven Airport

message: I'd like to question the deletion of former airlines. While PikDig removed them according to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Airports#Former_routes, that article discusses former routes and not former airlines that served the airports. Tweed has a long history of airlines that have attempted to serve the airport and pulled out after a short time. While I have no problem deleting the destinations (but I have an argument for keeping them, below), I think it's useful to note which airlines have flown out of Tweed over the years. Now for destinations served: It would be ridiculous to list every former destination of a major airport, but since most of the airlines that have flown out of Tweed have flown to only one or two places, it seems worthwhile to include them.

replies: text: Agreed.  A big part of the story of Tweed is its inability to maintain consistent, low-cost passenger service for its catchment area.  When people come to this article, they are often researching the question of why they have to spend hours traveling to BDL or New York when New Haven has a perfectly viable local facility.  The history of airline woes at the airport is essential to understanding the present.  There is no reason that such an important part of the tale should be eliminated from Wikipedia due to the blanket imposition of a policy intended for articles that serve other purposes.

replies: text:  The link I provided, discusses the former routes of former or current airlines that serves or no longer serves the airport. So the said discussion resolved that former routes of former or current airlines that serves or no longer serves the airport to be deleted for most of them do not have a reliable source aside from a person's memory. For now I will not delete it. -chris^_^ 22:25, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I'm not at all sure I understand your comment. What link did you provide? InkQuill 22:52, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  → Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports#Former routes this is the link I provided. -chris^_^ 05:28, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Each page has a discussion page in order for Wikipedians to hash out differences. -chris^_^ removed the airlines and destinations served, so I startd this topic. Only one person replied, so I restored the airlines and destinations. Now -chris^_^ has unilaterally removed the destinations, without making any reply to our posts that Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Airports#Former_routes is overly broad and shouldn't apply to Tweed, which has a history of airlines coming in and out and limited destinations. Please respond to the discussion; don't just take unilateral actions. InkQuill 02:26, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I removed the destinations first and foremost because it was resolved in the link I provided twice, and it is stated in the discussion which is in the link I provided to dump that section, for it is UNVERIFIABLE and UNENCYCLOPEDIC, for most of the airlines are already defunct airlines and they were defunct before this airport article was even created, so where did you get your reference that, that specific airline flown to this airport. Why don't you read the discussion on the link I provided twice. -chris^_^ 02:47, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I have read it. The discussino was started here to discuss whether Tweed is an exception. Frankly I could not understand at all what you were trying to say in your comment at 22:25, 6 May ("that serves or no longer serves the airport to be deleted for"???). The only argument that makes sense to me for deleting routes is sourcing, but I still would rather have a rational discussion rather than "read the link, read the link" with caps and bold (shouting) thrown in to boot.

thread_title:  Deleting former airlines and destinations served 

message: Someone added Allegiant Air as an airline operating out of Tweed (to Bradley) and, surprise surprise, no sources are mentioned. As neither BDL nor HVN appear on Allegiant's route map, I've allowed myself to delete the text. Please feel free to revert it if anyone can come up with a reliable source (perhaps Allegiant's website?).

thread_title:  Allegiant to Bradley? 

message: Deleted the reference to Pittsburg as USAirways only flys to Philadelphia at the moment.  If new information exists, please reference.
