No new bases. This new seasonal growth is not really all growth. Over half of the routes and focus cities they flew last year were a failure. They grabbed the dart board, threw the darts at the map and bam! New growth...
it’s basically reshuffling of the deck. This airline has no route structure and moves in and out of cities on a monthly basis. There are about 12 cities served on a year round basis and the rest is seasonal, and at best for 6 months. When they realize that those routes didn’t work they try another one. As a commuter you will never be able to rely on a consistent route structure and schedule to make bidding palatable. Until they can get beyond the 30 plane model it will be the same game as the year before. If you live in MSP it’s a much different story. 5 on 2 off as a reserve commuter is not a way to live.
