Or you put CS or E2 on the west coast. We need to fly to the midwest. Maybe they didn't want to for a long time, but those markets have people that want to fly to both coasts (NYC, BOS, FLL and LA) and the Caribbean. The infrastructure exists in St. Louis, INDY, Cinn, CLE and even KC. Let's do it!

I'm no math wizard , but which of the above flights are "flying half empty"?
Now if the yield isn't there, let's continue talking.

Clearly the loads are more than that....the question is if what people are paying is sufficient.

Congrats.
Sell anything above 100hrs first.
Or if you are leaving after December they always give us the chance to sell it back then as well.
But yes PTO is paid out.

Midwest expansion from our east coast hubs is a more likely possibility if we get a CS.

Last time I checked there are some airlines that fly to the Midwest without the C series. I could be wrong though....
