Don't shoot the messenger, man! I agree...full base is what they need to do. But you guessed right what the .5 was.

Give it time. They can't send us back to MIA full boar so soon after removing us from it. That is business 101 unfortunately. They made two mistakes. First, closing down envoy's MIA base. Second, having Republic be the airline that moved in.

They realized that mistake pretty much from the get go if it makes you feel better. But a basic principle of business is you don't reverse a decision too quickly, even if it seems like it was the wrong one. You give it some time so that variables are worked out.

My personal opinion is that MIA will be a full base sooner rather than later. The other news will be something you will like...and satellite bases will pale in comparison.
