CaribLee--Huh. OK. So, in addition to everything else they can't accomplish, PJIA hasn't hired enough ground crew to do the job?

eightzerobits--I frankly doubt that is the case in SXM. I am pretty sure that check-in staff at SXM are not employees of the airlines.

That seems odd to me, no place to park. How could that surprise you with everything else going on with this rebuild.

What I meant was literally no place to PARK? Yes, agreed, could be no place to park close enough to use a jetway, but no place to PARK? No room on the tarmac? Nah, doesn't make sense. Although not much that they do makes sense.

We departed yesterday on AA flight to Miami scheduled for 2:35pm. We departed at 2:25pm. We arrived early so had a good view of all the activity at the prime time for arrivals and departures. It was very busy. At one time, there were three planes lined up on the tarmac, one departing and two waiting for a gate. Our flight began boarding at 1:15 from gate C3. Over one hour before departure. We boarded a bus and were transported past all the gates, out past the fuel depot than to the middle of the tarmac where our plane was located. It was parked next to a Delta plane that had just arrived and was off loading passengers. Our boarding process was complete by 2:10 and off we went to runway 28 for takeoff. We arrived in Miami 30 minutes early with no gate available for 15 minutes. Got through Customs in record time. Had signed up for MPC but didn't need it as there was nobody in the line ahead of us.

chicstersun--really sucks, apparently AA to Miami normally does not get a jetway. I wonder who they allocate them to??

jbutah--didn't realize there was an AA flight leaving SXM for Miami that early. Our flight in June coming home leaves at 2:45 and it is the first one of the day, I think.

I think the difference is sometime between now and June is when they go from three flights a day down to two. Definitely no flights to Miami earlier than 2:45 in the middle of June.

Hope they were giving people something good to go to one of the other flights. I probably would have taken it, if they gave a couple hundred in flight credits.
