I’m sure Breeze had their reasons, but I think the point of my comment was that we have so few people that are disgruntled here that nobody wants a union. It’s not all rainbows and sunshine and the company does still misstep from time to time, but most are fairly content with the progress we are making. We still have people leave, however from talking to some that move on it’s not because they dislike Avelo their calling just happens to be at a major. We also have some that leave because they are unhappy because let’s face it, this type of airline is not everyone’s cup of tea but as I have said before I have never had a better airline quality of life. It’s sad that whoever this was feels like the company hosed them but like some others said, I have seen sleazy and we are far far from that.

That’s great, let’s hope it lasts a few more years. Then we can be miserable like everyone else. I count the minutes until I can spend my flights *****ing about how bad our TA sucks.

I mean, it's not surprising there would be less demand for O&D leisure traffic on all of those routes in the winter.

Looks like ILG announced as a base today. Their post said it's the fourth base, does that mean RSW isn't happening anymore? Because that was supposed to be the fourth one. Does it seem like HVN will remain the junior base, or will ILG become the new junior base?

For reserve this Is true, but I guess industry standard.

3.25 credit/day is too low

Yeah typically reserves were getting 15 off, RSW base is delayed for now due to hurricane IAN, but still planning on the flights I think if they are selling
