NK controls something like 98% of the ACY market. The base there is cheaper than a LIM hourly 'guest'. I can't imagine any management walking away from a slot machine like ACY.

That’s why spirit planes are yellow. So you can see them floating.

Get the local airport authority to enact slot controls for ACY and JB will be all over it like flies on poop.
