Bingo to your bingo.......
The captains list does not move much in MCO.
For every retirement, there is always another senior carpetbagger pre positioning for retirement moving down here from BWI or MDW to take their place.
Been like this since MCO opened 20 years ago, and I don't see it changing, unless the wave of locusts invading FL vote in a state income tax.
A close friend of mine upgraded in HOU 5 years ago, and commuted from MCO until last year, which was the first opportunity to get back into MCO. He is sitting less than 10 from the bottom, and always sweating holding on to that.
