Quoting GQfluffy (Reply 9): Was this really ASA, or was OO just using it's newly acquired aircraft?
That was an ASA flight from SLC. Per scope clauses at DL, Skywest was not permitted to operate 70-seaters for them, so DL decided to send ASA and their CR7s to SLC to do just that.
Quoting RwSEA (Reply 10): What is MFE? The code scroll-over doesn't work. Same with SGF.

Quoting KcrwFlyer (Reply 6): How much longer until CID has too many flights and not enough pax? G4 recently announced SFB right?
CID is on track to pass one million passengers this year, I am sure we can handle at least 3 daily ATL flights. We used to have about 8 MD80's/717's to STL per day on TWA, not to mention mainline from UA and NW (now we are down to one mainline NW flight, in addition to G4's M80's to LAS). SFB is only going to be 2x per week. ATL is a major business center and hub, one that is sorely missing from CID when you look around at the airports in the region of similar size who do have ATL service (MLI, DSM, PIA...for example). I know our airport commission has gone to DL to ask for this service.

How long until you stop complaining you don't have enough service? And you can't really compare CID and CRW.. CID has much higher boardings.

Exactly.. I would expect CID to get ATL anyways since MLI, GRB, MSN, and BMI are all getting ATL instead of CVG. Also as I've said before, I think just 2x CRJ to MEM to connect to 2 of the 3 banks would do well. Also on my wish list is a Mesa flight to PHX but that would be unlikely and I don't want to get carried away.

Never....... The catchment area populations are close in size ; despite the boardings.

Hows CID similar to DSM in size, im not disagreeing with the others, but I thought DSM was much larger.

Ah yes. The root of the word is CATCH, which means to retain. Therefore, CID has a higher catchment area because it retains and boards more people than does CRW, no?
'Cause you're on ATA again, and on ATA, you're on vacation!

I also have wanted this route for a long time as well. CID pretty much has its bases covered for heading east (ORD, DTW, CVG, MSP, STL) and west (DEN, MSP, DFW, LAS). The one spot we are sorely missing is access to the SE United States. Having either MEM or ATL flights would help out in that regard.

Quoting N908AW (Reply 18): Yes, as I'm sure people would much rather fly SGF-ATL-LAX than SGF-SLC-LAX.
When Wal-Mart employees want to go to LAX they take AA.
It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

Sorry about that. I realized too late that we are talking about SGF and not XNA.
Just no planes for the SLC route.

Wow--the DL ATL build up of the heartland continues...reminds me of when AA added these similar destinations to their mega hub in DFW. Which city do you think has the next best chance of receiving ATL service?

No.
25 N908AW: Suppose you go out to a lake and 'catch' 10 fish, but one got off the hook before you could sufficiently 'load' it in the boat. Your load, and theref
26 Iowaman: DSM is larger, but it depends on your definention of "much" larger. Yes, at the expense of CVG service. I'm going to post a sepreate thread for CID/D
27 KcrwFlyer: Man....what are you talking about? Catch does not necessarily mean retain. To "retain" something, you must have already "caught" it. Okay, look. CID
28 N908AW: Spell metaphor. And you just talked yourself into another corner. I've been trying to tell you 'retaining requires catching' for about 5 posts now.
29 KcrwFlyer: i give up. While talking about fishing?
30 N908AW: Yes, one calls it a metaphor. Minnesotans rarely compare life to much else than fishing anyway...
31 Iowaman: Thank you.. which is maybe why CID has more service and can support more? Also I don't think anyone from CID is going to drive to MSN (That's like 6
32 N908AW: Such as in [see signature]. I tend to think of it as disproportionally served, not overserved.
