Rumor I heard from someone who had a face to face with Watterson was that they wanted to grow TPA, but TPA airport authority wouldn't commit to long term gate leases, etc. MCO would....that's also when we started growing MCO again. We shrunk a bit in FLL and moved flying to MCO...no idea if that was cost or not wanting to be all spread out.
