We did same with IAD like 5 years ago. Now we only have handful of flights out of there. Let's see how ewr plays out and what sticks. Gate space is much more valuable at ewr, so maybe they will just keep on trying new routes till gate leases expire or just sell them to spirit or b6.

As much as I hate Newark I think it’s a smart move from the company. I just said on my last trip how I’m glad we stay away from those airports. Sorry I jinxed us.

With Southwest pulling out, this is probably a no brainer to try.

Im sure it'll be a very tough operation, but there's an absolutely massive population to support the service.

Agreed. Not to mention NYC is a tourist destination as well.

Newark no longer has slots. For almost 3 years. https://airwaysmag.com/airports/slot...rk-october-30/

I’m guessing here but I would think we would have to have a base open here in the spring. I couldn’t see how we could run a semi functional operation without it. Thoughts?
