We got to do something to keep up w NK's aggressive growth. With the oil so cheap right now NEOs are not going to be much more economical vs the CEOSs. Hopefully with extra 2 rows being added, the 319s will generate enough profit for the management to be satisfied with them.

I suppose they should have seen that coming
He was saying all indicators are now on Florida.

Said F9 couldn't even get the Atlanta airport to return a call or an email after Delta got involved. Quoted one of our top execs as saying: "Guess now we know who runs that city!"

The base will be the base. If management doesn't know where it will be by now they are well you know. Do you really think they would say Atlanta or Orlando will be are new pilot base and not have the gates and all things required lined up ahead of time? Oh crap, I forgot who I work for. We are screwed. Also, name a city that we would not be taking one of the big boys. We might as well go big and crush Delta.

Since Southwest has reduced their (AirTran) presence in ATL, and since load factors are so high out of ATL, it appears as if ATL would be the best choice. AirTran (ValueJet) had to build it from MCO, however, so that could support the MCO argument.
