I for one cannot believe that old Vern is going to just sit back and watch the ship go down- that would be a crying shame as the airline is probably in the best market position of all the local carriers. If the place was intelligently run then I have no doubt that they would punch well above their weight- they have had brief exceptional performances in the past, but I guess we can all agree that this was more fluke than by design.

Their lack of direction as pertains to disintermediation is now going to cost them big time- especially as there has never been a low fare airline( which is what they are) that has ever survived by selling their inventory only through one channel. They had the chances and didn’t grab them….. I think there are some very greatful competitors out there today….
