What people don’t realize is that this story is just a start to all of the money being siphoned from the economy.

Just some impacted industries:

-Airlines
-Real Estate
-Hotels/Airbnb
-Restaurant

This spend by Canadians is now going to the Caribbean and Central/South America.

SLC is one of the most expensive airports in the country. This coupled with Spirit’s inability to revenue manage effectively creates a recipe for failure.

*Taps head* Can’t ground me if I already ceased operations

For March, that PVR is rough. I wonder how many seats Apple had agreed to in their block.

LH continues to be solid.

Does three weeks of service really count as adding a route?

Next year’s Canada schedules will be interesting for FL and Southwest markets.
