A minimum of 5 years is what Management said was the determination when they posted the displacement bid. They said if they felt they would need that staffing within the next 5 years, they wouldn’t have done the displacement.
NK doesn’t know how to make money in non leisure bases. Unless there is a casino, an amusement park, or cruise ships, they don’t know how to grow a base. IAH and ATL will get to mid size level bases and then probably go stagnant as well, while they look to add 1-2 more bases this year.
Even Miami hasn’t been as strong as they hoped. They hoped the domestic travel would have been better out of Miami, not so much. Teddy said it was because FLL is so strong. Haha. Ok Ted
