Did your friend also inquire about how we will staff these planes (at least the captain side?)

Peter will be robbed to pay Paul. That's what this place has always done it. We need a dozen more airplanes to adequately serve the cities we fly to now. There will be no west coast expansion. Expect an email soon about what routes we are cutting to serve our new found destination darling.

Good to know! Stay tuned for more...

I don't know man. I'm usually pesimistic too but I've heard from enough people to think there might be something brewing on the left coast. I'm an east coaster so it doesn't really help me much either way... I'm just sayin.

If there is an announcement on a new West coast focus city, I would have to guess the rollout would be slow. Probably not a crew base for a couple of years. It'll put MCO expansion on the back burner once again.

From where, I'd ask. Airbus is already maxed out on the assembly line. They can only make them so fast and the ones coming out are already accounted for.

There's really only one way for a quick expansion if that's where this company is trying to take us.

Taking some of Frontier's NEO deliveries scheduled for 2017. That's the rumor anyways...

That would fill in a few midwest gaps, easier push out west.
