Vegas Follow-up

Paxton great initial question and Matt thanks for the explanation. Maybe if Allegiant raises alot of money with their IPO, they will be able to upgrade their fleet and fly from ORH-Vegas??? Until that happens, or if that happens, we should be talking with Allegiant about adding more Florida destinations. We should get in touch with the people at St Pete's and Fort Myers and explain to them why we think ORH to their city would be perfect and have them on our side when we go to Allegiant.

As far as asking for more flights to Sanford-how can we get more flights when the current loads are running at 72%? And as we all know now Vegas is impossible. That leaves us with two goals:

  • First a shuttle to a major hub. Since JFK is the closest, this should be our number one goal.
  • Second, we need to be on the front lines for VLJ's that means Linear.

Skybus, DJ Air, CQ Air and any other start-ups should be kept on the radar screen but it will literally take years before their first flight gets off the ground and we do not have years. Again thanks Matt and Paxton for the input.

Post IPO Allegiant may not have to buy brand new jets. The legacy carriers in bankrupcy )or the trustees handling the case)would probably unload some "newer" jets at a fairly decent price.
