I heard from 2 Seattle Captains less than a week ago that they had talked to Seavy, and that the 2 AC HAL had the letters of intent to lease have become unavailable (lessors raised prices, and HAL walked away). Who knows which story to believe? As for the 717's in LAS, I think I heard this rumor a few years ago, and personally I think it is wishfull thinking (especially for those who live in the West Coast). What would we do with these planes, compete with all of the other carriers moving folks from Vegas to LA? As Whale rider said in an earlier post, you have a better chance of being hit by a bus. LAS is a flooded market, with established low cost carriers who will send HAL running with it's tail between it's legs within a month. If Dunkerely is concerned about competition, than flying domestic in the US is the wrong arena to throw his hat into.
I want expansion as much as the next guy (actually more because I can go back to work for a carrier who's paycheck's don't bounce), but stupid expansion is no good for anyone.
