DJ Air

We need to have more of a sense of urgency turning this airport around. Things like our Master Plan, not having a meeting in 2005, is ridiculous. DJ Air should have been pursued for what it is was ( a very very long shot), with the majority of attention on second-tier carriers like Allegiant/Hooters/USA3000. In addition, our model airport should be Rockford Airport , an hour outside of Chicago versus spending $100,000 (that could have been used to help a new airline) on consultants.

The sad thing about Hooters is that we may have already missed this winter season traveling to Myrtle Beach/Florida. Even if we have not, many people may have already have made their reservations elsewhere. At the same time, everything needs to be pursued. I am not saying do not pursue Sun Country/SunShip1/Frontier/DJ Air Group, but lets focus our energies where have our best chances.

Seriously think about how much time we wasted on DJ Air Group. Why did we ever get anyone thinking about an airline that has never ever had 1 flight and is 100,000,000 short in venture capital. We should have been talking about attainable goals like Hooters and USA3000 the past year and if DJ Air Group happend, it would have been an added bonus.

Funny people in the airport administration will not tell us, when we are in discussions with airlines like Allegiant or Hooters, which could only help their efforts, and get people excited about ORH. On the other hand, multiple stories are leaked about grandiose plans for a start-up called DJ Air Group, which has slim to no chances of happening and will only lead to more negativity towards ORH.
