Better get another gate in ORD soon !

 

Don't feel too bad for them. They were not able to trade during open time, which usually doesn't amount to much, but they are going to be flying their whole month at 150% credit.

 

I can see some CLE flying in the near future.....also anyone else heard anything about SEA?

 

CLE ?? Why, because United is pulling back or did you hear something concrete?

 

Why not CLE? As we grow so does our destinations.

 

Most of the talk I've heard about the growth for this year has centered on frequency, not new markets. But, I guess anything is possible, I'd love to see service to Seattle.

 

We need more frequency. Hopefully more planes coming in and out of places will result in less 25 hours overnights everywhere we go!

 

I agree, HOWEVER, I'll be really honest here and hopefully don't come across as a bad husband and father.

After 4-5 days at home with the family in 10F weather with massive snow events almost weekly, I welcome the long FLL. Layovers, lol
