I haven't paid much attention to IAH since it opened, is this normal? Or a February slow time thing? Or is IAH circling the drain? I can't believe we only have 20 daily departures out of there for February.. that's crazy. Meanwhile OO keeps adding flying there. I know Republic has always been a northeast and outstation airline but does anyone know what's going on with Houston?
I think the rev bit off more than he could chew with IAH hoping to secure some of the flying Mesa was doing down there, hence the 100 jets that still haven’t shown up.
Hopefully just because of the slow time of year, but probably more likely because United is awarding that flying to Skywest, Mesa, and ExpressJet. It’s not NY, so BB sees no reason to fight for it. Probably because we’re the “best” in the northeast or whatever that crap is they spew at the training center.
