News thread
Thought I would start a random news thread in light of the LGA news and corresponding stock bump today.
In other news…

We are going to need a new terminal.

Until then, most likely more LGA turns, and letting other airlines use our gates/slots for extra income.

The other problem is utilization. When the aircraft are all on monthly lease payments you need to run as many flights/ hours as possible. Again, doesn't work well easily for long haul flights.
Long haul low cost has been a major problem or a flat out failure business model. If the big, experience jet is only going to fly 1 or 2 legs a day, it needs the mega expensive 1st class revenue
