Here we grow again! -merged topics

[scuba]

Just some longer term ideas on routes since the press release states, "WN plans to return to SFO in a meaningful way."

Short haul- SFO-ONT, SFO-LAS, SFO-SAN, SFO-SEA, SFO-PHX

Medium - SFO-DEN, SFO-AUS, SFO-MCI, SFO-MDW, SFO-STL

Long Haul- SFO-PHL, SFO-ISP, SFO-IAD, SFO-PIT, SFO-DTW

Routes that should be added, SFO-MSP, SFO-LGA, SFO-DCA, ah what about WN getting the "beyond perimeter" slots for DCA that Spirit is dropping? Add two cities with a route that would have no direct competition. That would be the best, and justify the costs for both cities they currently don’t serve.

The only other question that I would have is WN returning to SFO because they don't want Virgin USA to fly? If so, I commend them. Oh who am I kidding I commend WN for making smart business decisions, over and over. Placing employees on the same level of customers, realizing that the customer may pay the bills, but employees keep the customers coming back. Accepting suggestions from the employees who do the job and making WN a fun place to work. Way to grow!

Spirit's flights are not beyond perimeter slots just regular slots. And I believed the slots that they have a DCA are owned by US.

Routes that should be added, SFO-LGA,

That's a great route, two of the airports with the biggest delays. Am Track would be faster.

No Philadelphia expansion? They stopped BDL, I thought they would pick up more.
