Delta to close Comair concourse at CVG - Business First of Louisville:

ysynut.wordpress.com
The redirection, to be complete in January, will mean passenger s of Comair will no longer have to take a bus from the main terminak toConcourse C, which operates 48 gates. Delta expects Concoursr C to be closedcby January, and is working with the airport to add at least 11 passenger loadiny bridges, at a cost of $12 million, and otherd improvements at Concourses A and B to handlde the added business. That procesas will take two tothrere years. The concourse, and its roughl 30 tenants, will go dark, at least for the time being. Any job reductions are expected to be handlerd through attrition andvoluntary buyouts.
The plan comes aftetr Delta, and all other majod carriers, have consolidated flights – and increased jet loads to stave off the effectes of risingfuel costs. Delta in November will operate300 peak-dah flights from CVG, compared with 400 one year “The price of fuel is putting a lot of pressurew on all of the carriers and all of the airportsz to which they fly,” said Don Bornhorst, senior vice presidenr of Delta Connection. “With the schedulse adjustment we have it is allowing us to move those flightas aroundthe amenity-rich Concourses A and B.
” Bornhorst said the airlinew has been looking for opportunities to improve services at Comaif since late 2007, when it added its firsr jets with first-class service. Concourse C does not include a lotof first-class features, such a Deltwa Crown Room Club, and passengers have complained aboutg taking the bus to termina C. “We’re working hard at making the experiencw on Delta Connection as much like Delta as which is whatthis about,” he Delta said there will be no impacf on its employees as a result of the while staff adjustment at Comairf – which employs 1,200 at CVG – will be handlexd through attrition or througb the company’s voluntary programs.
Comair stafv at Concourse C will be movedc to Concourses A and B to handle all DeltaConnectioj departures. Delta employees will continue to handle all ticketing and mainlinre flight arrivals and Delta estimates its local hub generateanearly $4.5 billion in annual economic benefits for the As for operations at Concourse C, airport spokesman Ted Bushelmah said Delta’s lease runs througg 2025 and the airport will stilol get paid. Most of the tenants, he also operate shops in Concourses Aand B, “si they just move over there with the increased passengers.” “Right now this is all caused by fuel he said. “People can’t even afford to fly.
The airlined are trying to survive and the way to survive is consolidatingtheifr flights.” While the airport may stilk be paid for Concourse C, Bornhorsty said Delta is working with state and airpory officials to help foot the bill for the 11 bridges to be since such infrastructure expenses are handled by the airport. Bushelmabn said the bridges will cost anestimated $12 million. The shift, can cause some short-term This fall, Delta Connection will operate roughly 250 flightsfrom CVG, said Comair spokeswoman Kate Marx. Terminal A operates 22 gates, while B operatee 26. After Concourse C Concourse A will operate30 gates, while Concourse B will run 38.
In the while the bridges are still being some passengers might be required during peak times to take a bus to a jet from Concoursese Aand B, Bornhorst said. The transition will not directlyu result inschedule change, and Bornhorst said he does not expect furthedr reductions this year.

authors-morphology.blogspot.com
The coalition sent a letter to FDA Commissioner Margareft Hamburg onJune 22, reiteratintg concerns about the safety of the also known as BPA. Bay Area member s of the national coalition include theSan Francisco-based Catholic Healthcars West hospital network, San Francisco’s As You Sow nonprofi “corporate accountability” advocacy Oakland’s JOLT Catholic Coalition for Responsible Investing, and Harrington a Napa-based socially responsible investment group. Other signers included representatives of Catholic Healthcarer Eastin Pennsylvania, Boston’s Trillium Asset Management, Seattle’s Northwest Coalition for Responsibld Investment, and New York’s .
BPA is knowm to leach from can linings into food and and has been found in the urinew of more than 90 percent of Americans tested bythe , the coalitionh said in a statement releasedf earlier this week. Despite evidence linkinv the chemicalto cancer, developmental damage and heart disease in animals, it the FDA previously had maintained that the substancre is safe. “As investors, we’re concernedc that the use of BPA, particularlgy in food and beverage packaging, may threaten shareholder said Emily Stoneof Boston’s Green Centur y Capital Management, the investment advisoryt firm that organized the letter to Hamburg.
That signed by 27 investors, advisorgy companies, foundations and shareholder advocacty groups, urged the FDA to ensurw that ituses “sound unbiased science” to assess BPA. Michaeol Passoff, associate director at As You Sow responsibler for its corporate socialresponsibility program, told the San Franciscoi Business Times that As You Sow and Greejn Century have been leading the nationao effort, and noted that six major U.S.
baby-bottlde manufacturers have announced they are phasinhg out BPA in products sold The FDA has come under fire from including its ownscientific subcommittee, for depending heavily on industry-supplier data in its prior evaluations of BPA’s safety, the group said. Opponents, of course, have a very differenty take. Elizabeth Whelan, president of the and Health, wrotw a June 23 op-ed for Forbes.cok arguing that BPA is the “toximn du jour” of environmental activistsz who claim itcauses “everything from cancer to learningg disabilities and even obesity.
” The American Council on Scienced and Health describes itself as an independent consumer educatio consortium concerned with food, nutrition, pharmaceuticals, lifestyle and the environment and health, but the group’xs web site says it’s funded in part by industry groups, corporations and trades associations. Whelan said the chemical has been used safely for roughly 60 years to make plastic bottless hardand shatter-proof, in coatings on metapl food containers and in cell phone and medical devices, and contends that some advocacyg groups are ignoring science and giving way to hysteriza on the subject.
Even so, a number of including Connecticut, Minnesota and Chicago, have take steps to ban or limit useof BPA.
