Thus insane congestion causing stupid lengthy delays that other areas of the country with storms are able to recover from much quicker because they can depart in every direction. Is what it is, company could do better but having the "fortress" be in the worst possible location atc/weather wise is a combo for failure.
Can't leave Florida because it is a cash cow.
Maybe we should start a "make Detroit great again" campaign to spur interest and take some of the heat off of Florida. We could even buy one of those abandoned neighborhoods you hear about and turn it into a target range with zombies.
