I’m not saying go full Allegiant. I’m saying there are other large airports that aren’t anyone’s centers of operation yet that could be chosen to dominate vs going head to head in DFW, ORD, DTW and the like.
Just pontificating. Seems to be an attack the hubs strategy.
If we only have 5% of the flights in a big metro we can afford to pick off more low fruit. If we go into a small market we pretty much have to own all of it to make it worth while. Large metros have lots of price conscious people that even with a small share we can fill up planes. How many planes can we fill in smaller cities at a good margin is what I’m sure they ask themselves in the network planning meetings.
