Anyone think this will work? Sorry if the link doesn't work. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18 785438/ | ||

Sorry I didn't mean if this will work... I meant to ask if there is any chance that CYA could become a destination for this airline. | ||

I don't know, the Casino traffic could make it work. As long as you saved 20 bucks to fly back home people might use it. | ||

I'm all about flying cheap, considering I fly about once a week--but the service and amenities available flying into Metro is well worth the $50-100 extra price--and I live just 2 miles from CAY. | ||

It could happen. I'm open to any options @ this point. | ||

I always thought an airline that flew only to Chicago, New York, and Tampa/St. Pete would do well from City Airport. Chicago is always popular, New York covers the east coast and could potentially help with foreigners from Europe coming into the U.S. Tampa/St. Pete would be busy with all the snowbirds that come from Florida to the Midwest. | ||

Especially since DTW has officially become the 2nd best airport in the nation according to customer satisfaction ratings from JD Power, I don't think any carrier, even a no-frills carrier, will ever come to City Airport. What is the incentive? | ||

Flyby would sure like to see something like this happen at KDET however many improvements would have to take place first. To name a few: 24 hour security, re-licensing by FAA, improve terminal conditions, improve runway and taxiways conditions, re-hire maintenance personal. The list could go on. Not sure the city leaders would invest that kind of money considering the last two airlines couldn’t / wouldn’t make it.  In flyby’s humble opinion, the city leaders should concentrate more effort in the handling of corporate aircraft like General Motors, Fords & Chrysler. These companies currently use Pontiac and Metro airports. | ||

Good point Flyby! Edsel Fords Pentastar is out in Oakland County when City is just minutes from his house. | ||

That's scary as hell. I don't think I'd trust an airline that charged $10 per flight. | ||

Or we could just expanded the cemeteries. People are dying to get into them. |
