I'd assume a contract.

Talking about how it sucks for the original 600, how about the entire 1600 for changing how we fly completely. I didnt sign up to fly like Allegiant.

What does this mean, changed how you fly? (Outsider, just curious)

I think he just means the type of flying we might be doing in the future: Lot's of one and two day trips with out and backs and milk runs vs. four day trips where we leave base on day one, fly the system for four days and don't come back to base again until the last leg on the last day. So, just schedule stuff, not how we actually operate the plane.

Why three Florida domiciles?

Seems unique.

We do a lot of maintanance and destinations out of TPA. I guess they figured we might as well start building pairings out of there instead of having reserves flying empty planes to and from there for MX.

Atlanta we do plenty of flights out of there. Even though I didn’t see it coming evidently enough to justify opening a small base.

Bleeding 15 Million per day might be a good place to start.

Yeah. I guess we might be about to see a new chapter. Can Frontier encroach this time?

Do you really think they're going to telegraph their true intentions ten months in advance?

The did it years ago and we ended up with MCO base so I find it surprising. Maybe they did sign gate contracts in ATL as someone else brought up. There was a saying in WWII - “loose lips sink ships”
