check your PM's

Firstmob;

Howdy, I'm Scambo, nice to meet you. I noticed you have 226 posts. I think 225 of the have the words slot swap in them. Please 'splain me what you know or want to know.

Nice to meet you.

Only about 150 and my "fixation" as you seem to think with the slot/swap is because it is very important to our future. Approx 35-40 % of airline passengers live within 200 miles or so of the east coast and if we as a company can capture a larger share of this business with a LGA hub then we can continue our growth which should mean more pilot positions. Also the revenue growth and solidifying our position with our NYC frequent flyer base will bring positive results. Nice to met you Scambo

Dude, at this point I'm hoping they don't announce furlough intentions... :o

Off Topic: Could someone PM me on if there is an airline discount at Sandal's Resorts, and how I would go about getting said discount?

Thanks

GMAB! :D

Given what has gone on a reduction is expected, but I would not fear it. Loads are still decent, and the demand is still there, even with the 13 price increases this year. We are once again in a holding pattern to see which way things break.
