Doesnt look like there is much growth out of LAS, Do you all think it will remain a small base or continue to grow sometime in the future?

Depends what they decide with DFW. All the DFW flying will either be staffed by its own base or much larger LAS and DTW bases, IMHO.

growth looks promising on 2013, vacancies will come then. I think we got 30-40 new hires this year, at best, non the less it's the best direction.
Now that we are #6 low cost c of the US we got to keep at it.
On another note, I still don't understand how VX gets first LCC prize when they are more expensive than bankrupted AA to fly with, they got to pay for those unis I guess.

No they are not. And if you don't understand how VX gets first place prize, just fly on VX.

got it, thx, I guess the do offer great service and great leg room accompanied by awesome entertainment system, not llc style, I compared tickets on them, AA and us and they come up way higher than both, and still manage to loose money.

I'm just glad our management understands that most people anywhere would choose McDonalds, Walmart, and Sam's club when on a budget....and they applied it to an airline. If McDonalds put in tvs, had their employees dress as gay as possible and sing to you...would you pay $20 for a number 4 with fries?
