Removed ref to airplane crash. Don't see how it is relevant. Or, if it is (maybe to figure out if one wants to fly there) it seems to me all airplane crashes should be added to the airports near their occurance.

The intro reads like an advertisement. Could probably use some POV help. Rdore 19:36, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

jetBlue has announced service starting in June, but they have already been placed in Concourse C on the KPIT page? Is there any confirmation of this? D seems to be a more likely choice unless they are taking Indpendence Air's old gate.

Logos not fair use?

Ok maybe I should head over to the Final Four site, the city sports sections, corporate description sites here at wiki to delete all those logos??!

Someone please give me some guidance on this, I'll add them back by late May.Hholt01 19:23, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I personally have no knowledge about "fair use" of these logos, but I personally am for them. Perhaps when they come back, maybe even using the express airlines in smaller format?

Innovations bad news?

Seems like someone was more concerned about "equal time" in the innovations section then the simple facts.

First I have used the Airport Wi-Fi maybe hundreds of time and NEVER been hacked and never heard of anyone being hacked, Pittsburgh has a "state of the art" Wi-Fi network according to their webpage and the bevy brain talent that Carnegie-Mellon, Pittsburgh SuperComputing Center, U.S. Computer Emergency Response Team HQ, Ariba, Seagate, Google, Apple and Rand Corp. in the city of Pittsburgh provide would seem to indicate that having the Wi-Fi network be among the most secure in the world only takes a few professors or engineers a half a tank of gas and a couple of WDVE songs to maintain.

Also I find it curious that a blanket statement about the increased risks with any Wi-Fi network would find itself in a statement not about the technical aspects of Wi-Fi vis-a-vi wired but in a statement highlighting the fact that one airport was first to build a free system open to all of a certain technology. Shouldn't the blanket statements about non-specific risk factors of Wi-Fi be saved for the page discussing Wi-Fi and not the Pittsburgh Airport, unless of course someone had a citation on hacking taking place at PIT which as a Post-Gazette, Pgh Business Times and Pittsburghlive junkie I'd be very impressed to read about finally (cause I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have ever skipped over that headline).Hholt01 06:06, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also the statement about the food not being street priced, I do think a few items could use a real-world check on food however overall I don't see much difference between food prices at the airport, downtown Pittsburgh, Sewickley, Oakland, Monroeville, Northshore, Southside, Strip District and the like. Again I think you would need a citation to rebut a few hundred web resources that claim that the Airport is indeed street pricing. I am sure that if you compared PIT to the Eastend, Monessen or Aliquippa you would find it a bit pricey but I wouldn't think you would fly all the way to Pittsburgh to eat in Monessen, and please don't be there after sunset ok.Hholt01 06:06, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The picture inside of the infobox needs to be replaced because of the pixel distortion. --Weatherman1126 (talk) 17:46, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
