MCO TPA has always been the plan, the MEC just wouldn’t allow TPA until we got the new contract. MCO TPA makes a bigger base and that will benefit everyone. Shouldn’t be too hard to bid the departure airport one wants (reserve notwithstanding) and if one has to drive to TPA instead of MCO, one can spend the drive time appreciating that they’re driving to work and not commuting to EWR.
