Default not enough airline service in San Antonio??

Hello? XJT management? On behalf of all employees? Can you explain this to us?

You mean the nonstop flights to Tulsa aren't good enough?

Maybe they'll change their mind if we start service to Gatwick. "Jetlink 1 heavy".

What kind of explanation do you expect? San Antonio is not the center of the transportation empire. They want more point to point travel. Unless they are located in an airline hub city, you are going to two leg it anywhere you want to go.
Besides, they are communication, why do they need to travel so much? Shouldn't they be video conferencing instead of face to face interaction?

Funny that they cited this as one of the reasons they are leaving. I've seen their fleet of Falcons loaded up every day, lined up one behind the other taking off out of SAT for the last ump-teen years.

Then you have to stop and remember that Wal-Mart's world HQ is in XNA. Could you see Wal-Mart leaving that area because of better flight connections?

Default XJET is missed

I was just on a WN TUL-DAL-AUS and found another passenger who, along with me, missed the XE TUL-AUS and TUL-SAT flights. Branded runs a real bang-up operation from the PAX perspective. Please figure out how to make money doing it (e.g., charge more and return to the pre-April schedule.)

Unfortunetly they did figure out how to make money doing it: but it involved paying less than $95 for oil

yeah... maybe if AT&T would subsidize some flights, they may get the non-stops they want like wal-mart did.

When you got the dough, you do what ever you want right?

Not to mention, XNA was built by the determination and money of the wife of Sam Walton.

If you can't sense Wal-Mart as you walk through the hard stand area of that airport, I dont know what to tell ya.

Speaking of which, does anyone have any info on the XNA Ramper that I want to impregnate?
