Yes, those markets all arguably have excellent air service, although there’s still loads of unserved nonstop opportunity from all of them. They are all popular midsized to large leisure destinations and/or population centers. I think a lot of people took Neeleman’s plan too seriously. They gotta fill E190s, they can’t be flying Fargo to Lakeland, Memphis to Green Bay etc. They need routes that aren’t too risky. You should be able to fill dozens of routes 2x weekly on an E190 from all those destinations with no, to little competition.
