I've always thought there has to be some reason that JB has negleted ISP for as long as it has. Barely mentioned...Not even used as an Alternate. Southwest had a somewhat large presense there until the last few years, and now Frontier has a fair sized operation.

But as you said, there are tons of people on Long Island who would much rather fly out of ISP and would pay a premium to do so, and those same people aren't interested in flying on Frontier. My hope is that it becomes something like HPN where we're opering multiple flights a day to numerous cities, overnight 4-5 planes a night there etc....Guess we'll see where it goes.
