this is fear mongering and it is buying right into management's strategy of scaring us into overnight trips and "changing the business model" from day trips to 5 day trips.
Not Fear Mongering, without adding multi-day trips bases that are out of room like most of the florida, will not see any future growth. The company could grow and stay day trips by continuing to open up more and more bases or if room allows grow midwest bases. Once a base has no more room for more aircraft the growth stops unless you keeping planes out in the system someplace else overnight. It would be hard to see much of any growth without them adding a percentage of flying via multi-day.
