So the Woke stuff isn't working to get pilots? Like BOOM!?

There is still a lot more easy money to farm in DEN, IAD, IAH. I’m not saying they won’t have some non-hub destinations out of FL, but it’s not the next ORD, much less LAX.

Kirby wants to beat American by winning… He’s not going to lose a bunch of money out of a Florida hub, just to cut AA’s yields in Miami, while DL’s margins gap ours.

All this prophecy is worth the paper it’s printed on

They just wrapped up a new terminal there didn’t they? Maybe we can snag the old one.

I really hope there’s some weight to the FL rumors. I hate going down there and I’m sure there are just as many people that hate flying into where I live. I get a nice seniority bump and don’t have to fly to Florida, they don’t have to commute and spend more time in my base that many people hate. It’s a win win.

Woke is a person or organization so intent on appearing to be supportive of "social justice" that any semblance of common sense or critical thinking has been abandoned.

You’re right, Boom is probably a total sham but being compared to “woke” is unfair to Boom.

More Gates in use than in CLE. We still have a pilot base there. In fact I think all the cities that Kirby mentioned have more departures per day than CLE

They're about to open a whole new additional terminal that they've been building for the last 5 years.
