To say it another way, I think they feel like they can always grow MCO NEXT year... The new terminal is the exception however. But that sorta counters both our arguments.
Scott said multiple times on pocket sessions before he bailed that yields in MCO are garbage with our cost structure with so much ULCC competition. He didn’t seem very optimistic about MCO growing. Dave Clark seemed a little more positive on it on the last pocket session though. Regardless, there’s always schoolhouse / adjunct jobs available for guys who want to be in MCO and not commute.
