unless it’s portable starlink. The geostationary satellite internet receivers that are portable are slower than dial up in the airplane. Tried several models at my 91 gig. Connection was difficult to maintain.

interesting read regarding our powerhouse market at MCO. Be interesting to see where this goes (maybe another displacement :confused:). Latest strategy points to PHL expansion,, business travelers, outstation basing, and day turns. |

The reason we don't have wifi is similar to the reason why it took us so long to get an HF radio - lack of proper operational foresight/vision for the future. Our mgt team is not revolutionary. This has become apparent and will continue to be moreso in the future. |

WiFi in a plane is NOT hard to figure out. About 92% of all airlines (regionals included) in N America have it. It can't possibly be UN profitable for each.

I would agree with this. Also to attract any "business traveler" you need WiFi.
Obviously neither is guaranteed to come, but the company is certainly looking into it |

CD has said that wifi is being looked into very seriously and they have samples of business class seats in the HQ.
