Importance of high passenger loads

Having Direct Air has been great since it re-established air service and helps us get to the 10,000 passeneger level to retain primary air status and get $1,000,000 from the FAA. More importantly it sends a messsage to other airlines.

LeHigh Valley currently has Allegiant flying to:
  • Punta Gorda
  • Sanford
  • Saint Pete's

They also have Direct Air flying to Punta Gorda. I was expecting to see Allegiant announce new services to their 4th Florida location (Fort Lauderdale), but they got beat to the punch by Airtran. I doubt Allegiant will want to compete with Airtran.

Allegiant stock at all time high, 4 florida locations now. We blew it with Allegiant.

Airtran (FL) is in for a shock with Allegiant (G4). Chances are good that G4 will beat off FL.

And on the radio news friday night i hear Havana Jim MCgovern was in town for his Easter Spring break...........and he held a press confereence at St V's hospital b/c he got St V's some earmark money for a new hi-tech cancer machine ......$105,000....now I ask u ........does a 105,000 of pork brought home from washingtin really warrant a press conference.............i mean thats chump change.......!!!!!!
Never mind the easter pork...........what a ham Jimmy is.........a paltry $105k..........

Dare I ask why we're giving a non profit, non pilot paying entity like St V's a gubmint dinero??????
