(Maybe DAL could pick that up cheap and tie together T2 thru T5.) Although, JB is good for increasing SOMEBODY's Caribbean presence, but doesn't AMR already have good lift there?
But Virgin would be an easy way to pick up a few busses. That is interesting.
Allegiant, SunCountry, Spirit and the others out there are wildcards. I really have no clue about any of them.

I think the biggest unknown out there is USAirways. Dougie just cannot sit around and watch the world around him changing and continue to hang on to some sort of misguided belief that he can make things better there with the status quo.
