Skywest to open MCO base

[LearLove]

can't fly for SWA since we now have a no domestic codeshare in our new contract

thank you

It is for Airtran and Airtran will also be announcing a base in MCO too.

That would make logical sense since Airtran HQ is based at MCO and they have mx there too. Also, they've been growing MCO and perhaps FL costs could support what DL couldn't in MCO.

BTW didn't OO just ink a new codeshare with FL out of MKE? Seems logical they might want to expand that too. Between MCO and ATL, which has room for more RJs?

Finally, we can put that 5 year rumor to rest. Good job SWA pilots/union on putting something in YOUR contract to protect YOUR flying. Too bad no one else seemed to care about protecting flying/jobs/the career. Hopefully CAL will keep it at 50 seat jets too. Too bad they never thought about the turboprops when the contract was being written years ago.

All the guys that would come on here during the union vote and make that rumor up will be mad now

That still leaves Canada and Mexico.

This MCO rumor looks to actually have some teeth.

According to MM, it is completely false.

No offense to MM. But I can't count the number of times he has said he has heard nothing and then I see it happen a week or two later. They usually are not as big as this but it still happens. I have decided SAPA knows about things about 5 minutes before the rest of us.

Touche, sir. Correct you are.

And the Caribbean? And Alaska? And central America?

You heard it here first. Official announcement not to come till late March or April. Guess who they will be flying for?

Delta? Comair, Chautauqua, ASA, and Freedom have all had an Orlando base for Delta sometime or another. Why not Skywest? Wait, never mind. I'm living in the past.

ASA has never had a base in MCO

Couldn't they go to the islands and Mexico from MCO?

 

[Speedtape]

ASA has never had a base in MCO

That's right. Only because, they knew no one would go and that it would be shutdown within 18 months after they opened it.

So I was right 4 out of 5. That's 80 percent. That passes an FAA written, right? Stop being an over-achiever.
