I missed a couple of others. Some are new routes. Some are additional flights. Still good news for new hire commuters though.

Although it wasn't the "good news" that many in the pool and future interviewees might be looking for, it certainly wasn't bad news. We just have to ride this one out for a little while longer.

Keep the faith!
