Television

I caught a piece on the Master Plan on Channel 3 at 10:00PM and they filmed John Krajovic, MassPort employee, saying that ORH's place in the commercial marketplace was a nice markets where people in this area wanted to fly.

All I could think was yeaj, like Allegiant to Sanford?? Wonder if the Master Plan or anything last night was discussed as to why Allegiant could not make money at ORH?? Was anything discussed about Allegiant last night?

Anyone there please comment.

I wasn't there, but i think they intentionally wouldn't mention the Allegiant experience, so they could keep the whole thing positve. This is just my theory. I think they should have mentioned what they were doing to correct the problems that eventually led to the departure of Allegiant. And, I personally am getting annoyed with IMG. I want to atleast know what airlines they are talking to or who they are interested in. I have not heard one word, but thats just me. Has anyone heard an airline thrown out by IMG?

I more then understand how you do not want to emphasize that you lost Allegiant. How about turning it into a positive experience?? Like we maybe only had 9 months w/ Allegiant, but we learned this-that-or the other thing, so we will be more prepared for the next niche carrier?

I am not so sure if you should be annoyed with IMG at this point or the lack of communication from the Airport Commission. Although we know now that the Chairman Delhunty had a disagreement with Commisssioner Nemeth (who cares?), we know nothing about how IMG is doing from the Airport Commission Minutes?? Although we have paid them more then $200,000 over the past one year and half.

In last Tuesday's City Council minutes Economic Agenda, however, we now learn that IMG is preparing two package to help recruit commercial airlines. Why the disconnect?? No mention ever about the IMG recruitment efforts in the Airport Commission but now they are working on two packages?? Do you think none of the Airport Commission are aware of these two packages??

Of course they are, but it is never brought during the Airport Commission Meetings?? Evidently this may be discussed outside the meetings, when a quorum is not present, and deliberately not mentioned during Airport Commmission Meetings so they are not part of the official minutes.

Would it help us if we had an airline that flew into Orlando Intl?
