SWA wants to fly from HOU to MEX and SouthAmerica

[redflyer65]

United's Message to employees re: Hobby Int'l

The proposal would negatively impact our IAH hub operation and result in less international flying by all carriers out of IAH, hurting the city of Houston.

Pretty weak arguement.

Awe shucks. Poor guys might have to compete.

Pretty weak arguement.

I couldn't agree more red, pretty weak indeed.
What about all the jobs that would be created at HOU? Is that in the next memo that will be sent out...

Last time I checked HOU was in the city of Houston too.

stretch scarce federal customs resources

pretty solid argument, especially with the current gubment trying to grow.

And a lot closer to much of the population centers- IAH is not close to a lot of the HOuston metroplex-
Definitely a weak argument- They're basically saying that even though SWA has increased traffic in every market it's ever opened, that this will be the one time it won't. Good luck- if united wins that argument it's only bc they paid the right people enough.

I'm only assuming that United is constructing the same letter to send to the mayor of Chicago. Because we all know that it's impossible for one major city to support two intl airports. It may even cause the local economy to collapse. I don't know how the oil and gas industry will be able to continue to operate with two intl airports. In 10 years Houston will only be a shell of its former self.

Houston, it was good knowing you.

You have a good point. Actually the federal government should only allow one airport per city. Maybe even one airport per state.

The other cities need to shut down there second/ third airports .

By the way, HOU already has Gubment customs employees and a customs building.
