It would presumably do so from PHL. (snip) Ah but would it be from PHL. There is a lot of technology based industry in the Pittsburgh area that would provide O&D traffic plus the connects. When USAir first applied for service to NRT it was PIT-NRT. I have to wonder if anyone has heard anything from US abt this. Either way as has been stated it would not matter range wise.
