mercurydancer, my comments were not aimed at the passengers, nor am I speaking on behalf of the airport or have any official connection with it. My comments were aimed at the minority who spoil this thread, most of the people in question probably being from the north of the region and therefore biased towards NCL - and when you peel back the layers all it comes down to is they're scared of a little competition because they can see the potential the place might have if the effort gets put in (and as of late a significant amount of effort is being put in).
Yes you're right most of the passengers have p***ed off to other airports as you put it, but luckily for DTVA, the vast majority of them will happily return without a seconds hesitation when the routes come back in, which, due to the nature of this industry, will probably be between 2-5 years, but better late than never.
