Gnd power what I am saying is if Solair is not filling the the allocated 70 plus seats on OA how are they to make a profit by paying more than twice the cost for more than double the seats most of which will probably be empty. The run is overserviced and now they are going to add an A320 load of seats into the market. Read what Sale and Coco have said to probably get closer to the mark. Both the B737 and the A320 are very suited to the route as far as operational considerations go but A320 has too many seats.Pacblue won't stop and OA is going there anyway on route to Nauru so they can both sell cheap seats at Solairs expense. Strategic will stay as long as Solair pays the bills and the past has shown that is very limited.
