I would love it but the point remains we were growing FLL vs MCO.

Man, you sound smart. Someone should put you in charge of this place.
That's when we were taking 30 aircraft a year with a fleet of 30 aircraft total. Now we take 10-13 a year with a fleet of 240....

Your talking points are old and idiotic.

Yes, the choice is grow 100%/year or 3%/year.

There is NO way you could divert funds from potato farms, tech ventures, or stock buybacks to grow at some healthy rate between those two numbers.

Come to think of it, with how inept our leadership is at running a stagnant airline maybe it's best we don't add fuel to the raging helmet fire this place calls normal ops.

Didn't tech ventures just give us an orwellian program to know more about our customers? Maybe they will know the customers' TV watching habits. And when half the TVs don't work on the plane, they'll be sure to get a seat with a working TV. Imagine the possibilities!

To be fair iad was a useless route that was never full. And Pwm should be seasonal anyways. Who wants to go up there in December.

Oh IAD was pretty full but with DCA and BWI sitting there it’s not a shock.

One less option for us dc guys.

Hmm every flight I did from iad (not as much as you probably) was maybe 70% full max.
