"Today, the dependability and delay issues that exist
at LaGuardia have reached a crisis point and have a daily negative
impact on the overall customer service and performance for every
airline with flights at LaGuardia."

American Airlines, putting a decided spin on the news American
plans to cut 42 departures from New York's LaGuardia, most of them
coming from American Eagle, later this year. While acknowledging
the move will trim its costs -- it follows similar cutbacks at DFW,
ORD, and STL -- American also noted the cutbacks could help that
airport's well-known congestion issues.
