Piedmont service criticized at Mercer airport amid weather and scheduling woes
Residents complain Piedmont can not blame weather for poor Mercer County flights with 75 landings of 185 scheduled in January and 138 of 150 in April. Critics say lack of Bluefield Pittsburgh and Bluefield Charleston links, high winds, short runway, and limited daily flights hamper connections. Some praise Aeromech and Appalachian Airlines while noting low Charleston demand. Camels once helped build the Caribou Trail in British Columbia with wild camels seen until 1925.
