ASA taking over Freedom flying

[SiuDude]

The CR2 routes are MCO to: TYS, SDF, AVL, EYW, HSV, LEX, LIT, MSY, NAS, PFN, RDU, PNS, RIC. Also TPA-TLH.

Delta is completely pulling ATL-SCE, ACY, MEI, FSD and a couple of others I think.

MCO-EYW? That one's going to be ugly. Max of 30 I bet.

With existing ASA RJs, or new (to us) RJs?

Too bad that wasn't given to SKYW as rumored, oh yeh its our turn to shrink and be on reserve for years.

You can't be serious... Tell me this is just flame, right? You got me, good flamebait post.

Those were floating around last week...

After the last coupla years, though, would anyone (ecxept existing Florida commuters) bid it?

I bet it's not that bad since it's a pretty short flight. Less fuel needed so it probably won't be as runway limited. But yeah I bet they will only sell 40-44 seats on it. On Travelnet on the E145 they sell 50 going there and 41 coming back.

And 2 weeks from now when oil goes up even more, Delta will have the knee jerk reaction of pulling the plug on all those routes too. I can't imagine that IF a base opens, it will be that big, as the amount of flying fluctuates a lot with the season and economy.

AWAC doe (or did?) EYW-FLL and EYW-MCO...getting 50 into EYW is easy, 50 to FLL normally isn't a problem and I think the most I ever took to MCO was maybe 44.

I did have a ramper down there tell me ASA's 700s could take 70 folks out of EYW to ATL, though...

Serves you right for chasing an upgrade. Maybe you'll learn.....nahh, probably not.

Delta wants to pull out of MEI, but it's an EAS city, so they'll hit the city up for money and continue to serve the market with a larger subsidy from the government.

The money doesn't come from the city, it comes from the FEDs for EAS or the city for locally subsidized service.
