Also if our memories aren’t too short remember when we open new bases all the other bases stagnate for a couple of years so enjoy that little fun fact and be careful what you wish for if you want to stay put.

When we opened LAS/DFW/ORD it was a stagnation shrinkage nightmare then just when growth started to happen again along came MCO and stagnation again.

Ted came through my recurrent class about a month ago and outright denied the possibility of a LA base.
