I have heard conflicting information - did Porter build a new customs facility or is it the same old shack?
Newark has long been a better place to land at for flights to New York than LaGuardia. Both can be affected by congested airspace, but LaGuardia only has the one runway as well, so if things get choked at Newark, they are strangled at LaGuardia. Newark's rail service to Penn Station has always been a better connection than LaGuardia's crappy bus service too.

And, unless you see the flight loads everyday (which I can assume you don't, because you haven't come up to me and said Hi at work) you wouldn't have a clue what the loads are like on a flight by flight basis.
I'd be really interested to hear where you're getting your info about the low flight loads and the fuel costs hurting porter?
Considering the Q-400 is one of the better planes out there when it comes to fuel consumption, I don't see how the fuel issue affects them more then any other airline.

The most efficient airline in Europe is suffering badly because of high fuel costs....the stock is down over 50% this year.
