Correct, we had 48 daily departures and now we have 38. For no other reason than the September downtown, flying is down company wide as it is everywhere else. It’s just financial irresponsible to continue with 5 flights a day to a destination when you’re “AVERAGING” less than half full therefore DAL, UAL & Midwest cut back on their service. Even with the reduced flying the industry is averaging less than 73% full where as previously, with increased flying, they were over 88%.

When the holiday season roles around we'll have more flying with a few new destinations.
