Which again, if that is the case, why was BNA even in the running when WN doesn’t even have a crew base there yet. Since SWA was nudging all three communities for an economic incentive to base flight crews in one of those cities, perhaps they were considering opening a BNA base if Nashville power b...
Jump to postWhile the article doesn't clearly state what Denver won, I think both the headline and a quote deep in the piece give a plausible answer. (It sure doesn't say much about the quality of the writing when the reader needs to piece together substance from clues buried in the paragraphs.) Headline: Confi...
