Good try on the florida comment. Lived there 35 years, recently left. Back about 10 times a year. Lots of friends and family there. Sure they have some tech and medical but tourism is by far and away the bread and butter.. Florida sits about 30th in the US in household income, crushing it!! The yields are LOW, really not that hard to understand. You won't find a single full fare paying first class ticket going there. First is all upgrades.
Florida is one of the first to get crushed in economic downturn, always has been. That isn't going to change.
I check loads 3-2 days out for my commutes. Not a lot of first class to and from MCO. So saying FC is all upgrades is objectively wrong. Maybe certain time slots FC might not be totally booked, but it’s not all upgrades like you’ve stated. If this was the case, DL, an airline that deals with a “premium” product wouldn’t double down on MCO.

There has been such growth in the last 5-10 years that it’s not just people coming here to visit grandma or Mickey Mouse. The housing market exploded with new construction and every house sells (no, not just from Blackrock). I follow what city and county leaders are trying to do regarding growth and they’ve done a good job executing their initiatives.

It seems like you’re bent out of shape about trying to sell the idea that Orlando is JUST tourism and it’s doomed. None of the numbers back up what you’re saying. Idk what Orlando did to hurt you, but relaaaaax, dude lol
