Message: [QUOTE="Marty McFly, post: 2826273, member: 5905"] Unfortunately, I think getting SW is a pipe-dream. They wouldn't have gone into Rochester if Air-tran hadn't merged with them. While I do think that would solve a whole host of Air-travel concerns, I think we need to come to terms that the SW ship might have sailed. They seem to be less focused on growing hub and spoke routes, and more focused on Hawaii, and International gateways into Mexico and the Caribbean going into 2019. I think non-stop gateways on a major carrier to one of it's western/central US hubs will go along way for connecting leisure/business travel out of SYR. It will also help with often high prices when the best connecting gateways start filling up... There is demand, a refurbished airport, and the need... but will the carriers see it as a profitable venture, there in lies the rub. [/QUOTE]
