The sub $100 walk ups have been fun to watch this week on the west coast. DL really is getting aggressive, and it’s spreading – kind of makes the structure increases less relevant.

Sorry Brett I’m not going to sign up to be a digital subscriber to the Houston Chronicle to read what you said. But from what I already read online, every U.S. carrier applied for routes including AA which seems to think it should be the MIA-HAV shuttle airline.
