My wife's cousins husband heard.....
 
I figured since APC was so grateful in giving us a sub-forum, that we have a rumors section. Any juicy tin foil hat talk is welcome. :)

I thought United was buying us......, lol.

MCO Base is strong but so was LAX & ATL so who knows

I'm still hearing Wifi rumors. I do know we looked into it a few years ago. Sounds like there's more interest now because we could make money.

Nevermind ETOPS huh? Actually that would fit us perfectly. We'd get the route, sell tickets, train everyone how to do it and then the day of realize we don't have ETOPS.

In ORD the other day we gave out some miles to a random pax in a random seat on the plane. Balloons, high fives but they forgot the miles voucher.

Lol! This is true...we would pull an American and fly to HNL with a non etops aircraft. In all seriousness, etops is easy to put on the certificate. With Allegaint pulling out and VX. This leaves a nice little chunk....not holding my breat.

We wont do Hawaii. That would require an overnight for the pilots outside of the lower 48. That gives spirit management the heebie-jeebies. Lima is an anomaly.

That's what dead heads are for. Hawaii turn with two sets of low tier pilots on board is far cheaper than the cheapest dump in Hawaii.

There is no MCO base coming. The Silver gates were bought by American. I spoke with the base manager this week. Sorry, but it doesn't look like it's happening.

Heard from who? Every 'rumor' that I've heard over the last two years has been 100% BS. Not a single one of them has been true.
