| Quoting usflyguy (Reply 94): Quoting enilria (Reply 93): One of the poster children for the synergy of FL/WN..(sad trombone sound effect) I didn't realize that FL started flying there before WN bought them... Oh, wait. They didn't. WN started the route on FL metal after the purchase. |
| Quoting usflyguy (Reply 91): MCI-SAT adding daily |
| Quoting AWACSooner (Reply 97): PA-THETIC!!! Once again, they're handing the entire southeast monopoly to DL...and the accompanying sky-high airfares. |
| Quoting enilria (Reply 100): Exactly. And it was added as an example of synergy between WN-FL. Linking an FL strong city to a WN strong city...and it failed, like others. What is your point? |
| Quoting DariusBieber (Reply 101): There's not much connection traffic at MCI or SAT and the O&D numbers cannot be that high between the two cities. |
| Quoting enilria (Reply 29): Again, we are talking about whether WN will announce long-hauls NOW. All the other decisions you are talking about were made a long time ago. You act as if WN is the worst managed company ever and doesn't evolve with changing conditions. Oil is higher now than when those routes were announced and I've noticed diminished interest in long flights from them. NK said the same thing in their quarterly call. |
| Quoting Southwest1675 (Reply 108): The fact that BNA-SEA is still seasonal is beyond me. |
| Quoting Cubsrule (Reply 107): Quoting DariusBieber (Reply 101): There's not much connection traffic at MCI or SAT and the O&D numbers cannot be that high between the two cities. MCI adds access to much of the upper midwest, actually. Remember that even MDW has only two nonstops to SAT. |
| Quoting usflyguy (Reply 104): BTW... ATL received a bunch of frequency additions on Saturday in addition to daily frequency additions on ATL-SAN and ATL-STL. |
| Quoting SANFan (Reply 112): More of a shot at DL! AS ops 1 Q daily r/t, not a real major network asset. But it IS an AS route, so in a way, perhaps... I think it's more a case of WN thinking "let's add a couple of new routes at SJC." |
| Quoting ScottB (Reply 113): MCI offers connections to a bunch of places outside the Midwest, too -- like BOS, LGA, DCA, PDX, SEA, OAK, ATL. It really depends on how the flights are scheduled. |
| Quoting Cubsrule (Reply 107): MCI adds access to much of the upper midwest, actually. Remember that even MDW has only two nonstops to SAT. |
| Quoting DariusBieber (Reply 117): Like I said, SAT-MCI just feels like a weird service. I know Midwest Airlines barely lasted one year on that route with a CR2. |
| Quoting knope2001 (Reply 118): Actually Midwest flew mainline MCI-SAT 2x/day as far back as 1999 and operated for several years. SkyWest took it over as YX* (for a time as 3x/day CRJ) but the airline was in such bad shape as fuel skyrocketed most secondary MCI markets were cut in 2008 or so. So it lasted around 9 years. |
| Quoting enilria (Reply 76): Quoting PlanesNTrains (Reply 62): An announcement like this I imagine Enilria calling "signalling". Who are they signalling, and why? You are talking about the AS adds? |
| Quoting phllax (Reply 119): Interesting to note is that there is a BUR-PDX daily r/t which hasn't been mentioned before. It appears to start Saturday, August 7. It's mid-day each way. |
| Quoting DariusBieber (Reply 120): I thought they flew mainline 2x/day SAT-MKE? And then it changed to MCI with a CR2? Or do I have that mixed up? |
| Quoting SANFan (Reply 114): Clarify please... I see one more-or-less daily SAN-ATL r/t on the new schedule, which is the same as it's been for 2 years, when it was reduced from double-daily. |
| Quoting SANFan (Reply 122): Quoting phllax (Reply 119):Interesting to note is that there is a BUR-PDX daily r/t which hasn't been mentioned before. That would have been mentioned and discussed here back in mid-February when WN's August 6 schedule extension was announced. |
| Quoting HeeseokKoo (Reply 83): A couple of hours ago, year-end week (Dec 26-30) was dirt cheap but now all raised. Well, Dec 31st and Jan 1st is still cheap. |
