If you find a good way to fill seats (ABE-MCO, etc), you may not have a gate available at that airport. You have to fight for gates and routes, and that costs money too. Not to mention hiring or contracting all the people and ground support for every airport. That adds up too.
I'm ex-Express and still have a lot of friends there, so I wish them all good luck with the future; it sounds exciting and scary at the same time. |
Very good points, however we have a pretty solid management team that has planned this out, and remember its only 20% of our flying, not all or nothing, and filling 50 seats is not nearly as difficult as a 737, and we wont be competing with them in the first place. We also have learned a great deal of do, & don'ts from Air Indy. We will see, it will be exciting

But I wish you guys the best. But as I a pilot I analyze everything, from every angle to see what would be more efficient, etc. It's just me. |
No I agree, best way to look at this industry, from all angles !
