Well guys, I just took what they gave us and made one assumption: that the new destinations would just be (begin with) one flight to/from per day. Then I looked at their (as of 4/1/05) flight schedule pdf to find that they only had one flight/per to their legacy destinantions listed, and two flights daily to Vegas. Six destinations for digEs, one of `em twice a day, brings me to (maybe) 7 flights/per with digEs. They could offer more flights/day to some, but also may not offer daily flights to others...

Seven flights/day with a generous 50 units each makes 350. add (customary) 50% more in rotation, and you get 525.

Take a look at their destinations pdf. It has a map showing all flights (their hub is Dulles). Nearly all are short haul to/from East coast locales. There`s where I jumped on the similarity with RyanAir, and how APS/Wencor says they are working with them on a short haul business model/plan (and how that plan may fit others, like Independence).

So my 525 number could be way off real easy, it all independs!

And I KNOW nuttin`!
