Very cool. Wish Spirit would offer service to LIT, it'd be nice to have someone other than American and Southwest to fly out of here.

You would think there would be more routes out of DFW, as the base expands there. How big will the base get? Are there any hard numbers?

DFW will probably get big. I can see 100 per seat by the end of the year. Right now they have 40 as of March. I doubt management knows. They like to stay flexible and I can't blame them for that. Plans are changing frequently. We are watching the legacies, and if we see a market that seems overpriced, we go in. In other words, the legacies make a move, then we make a move. DFW was the result of the AA bankruptcy. We started to crank up LAS when US Air was pulling back, etc.

As for the DFW base, the latest estimate(take it for what it's worth) is around 80 crews by summer, possibly more after that.

I'm newly based in FLL . . . Can anyone recommend a decent FLL hotel with shuttle service and a generous crew rate? Free breakfast would be great, too . . . . Thx.

The Hilton Garden Inn was really nice.

You'll be able to get nicer places for that price and maybe even cheaper sometimes (Priceline worked well for me); the wild card in South Florida is demand. The place you found for $80/night 2 weeks ago now wants $225. That was the nice thing about the Roadway- one price all the time.
