Opportunity knocks at EWR
FAA Loses Court Case Against Spirit Airlines Over Newark Flights
Who wants to bet that F9 is amongst the “other airlines” besides Spirit that were trying to get Southwest’s slots at EWR a couple years back?
I see a new base coming… yuck.

the FA base there I believe is planned for ‘22

The contractual problem for the company with a dual ttn/ewr base for pilots would be commuter clause for the trips originating in ttn. I believe Ual has a dual ewr/lga as well but both airports are not a commuter issue.

with zero trips originating or terminating in mdw correct? I can’t see them getting that going again without some sort of Loa.
