Just kidding, I doubt it will last long, Spirit seems to be the only airline that can make ACY work, they have been there a long time so they know what they are doing.

Any speculations over Spirit news at the Dubai Air Show starting tomorrow?

All orders have been converted to 330's!!!
Since we're speculating, figured I'd toss that one out there……...

I like that rumor, especially if everyone above me on the list bids the 330. I've had my fill of long, overseas flights.

deal according to WSH is:
Chris Christies supports the expansion of PATH trains to Newark, United serves Atlantic City. (no more changing rains required coming from manhattan)

Doubt E145 service is a concern for Spirit. If anything, a boost for ACY.

as it looks like Airbus doesn't have all that many delivery slots remaining in the near term, my guess is changing some of those A320s to A321s instead.
Airbus overbooks on current A320 production
however it has not been that long since the last fleet announcement so I think its too early for new order/changes.
would be happy if I am proven wrong though!
