If you're looking into that part of the world, check out Oak Island, just south of Wilmington. It's very laid back, hardly touristy with nice beaches. I'd stay away from Carolina Beach unless you want to hang with redneck day trippers.

Thanks!!
Thanks everyone who replied to the "beach idea"!!! we should start a thread with trip report ideas for those with interline privileges/discounts. too many of these trip advisor sites have insiders pumping their properties with testimonials...they will never find the real gouge here!
we could keep it hidden on this thread...just use trip report for easy searching??
ok, back to contract 2012 stuff!

Ok, I'm thinking this is why we pay RAH to work DCI flight that compete directly with themselves. Frontier is slashing fares to try and keep passengers. I'm guessing that even though we are paying them to operate an E145 as DCI the fare war plus passengers lost is more then they can recover from the FFD flying.

When I look through my half-full glass, I'm not sure I see a ton of displacement. Is that what's expected?

I don't see displacements on this next AE. It's cheaper to keep the WB's fat. We are STILL converting awards from the May 10 bid. That was a 210 day conversion window. It's been over a year. The 767's will go through the mods and be right back on the line for next year.
IMO there may be some displacements, but this will likely be neutral AE rather then a backwards one.

I hope you're right, but I don't see any of the "A" part of the "AE" happening around here for a year or so.
