On Deltanet, SKW CF in LGA is down to 94%, whereas Republic and EDV are at 99% or better. That supports the notion that a lot of SKW flights are being covered by other carriers. I can't tell though if that's just today, or MTD. Firefox doesn't work well with deltanet.

The 94% CF is today only. Yesterday, OO was at 95% CF.

With the minimal flights they still do in LGA, one RT canceled and that puts it at 95%

I see. Then I don't know how to see monthly stats for LGA only. If you guys really do that little flying in LGA right now, it might be too early to gauge performance anyway.

I would not count on LGA necessarily being around for the long term. It is a new base and bases come and go. Ask yourself this. If the LGA base closed shortly after you joined, would you still be glad you made the decision you did because of the RTP transition program? Even if it means commuting to ORD or moving?

Damn dude. Didn't you just start here in like July? How can you tell people not to come here when you just started here too?

I think on the FO side maybe ... not enough captains trained yet to grow the base.
