Thoughts to ponder.
Put the right equipment on that route. A 3,000nm Mach .84 jet ain't the right bird for the mission. The E120 sucked, but it was enormously profitable.
There is nothing in our scope which would prevent the right equipment be put on that route to make money and provide service that would feed the ATL / CLT or MCO operations of various carriers.
Of course the other issue is the Heimatschutzministerium and the cost structure that makes it worth the while for Savannah folks to drive to Jacksonville. They blame us for that, but it really is not our fault.
