I’ve flown regional airlines in foreign countries. The United States experience does not compare well.
Our airports are a disaster. I was at Charlotte last week where the walking time between terminals is 22 minutes for Olympic athletes when the moving sidewalks are working. The last time I went from one terminal to the other, 4 out of 7 weren’t. Then there is the seating: 80 seats for two gates in one terminal and 200 seats for 8 gates in another. That was adequate when Piedmont Airways was flying DC-3s in and out.
