WN's move to offer service at MSP is brilliant.
If WN flew from CVG and if Wn flew to Asia and Europe, I would defect, too.
But they don't. And until they start flying the routes you suggest and the routes I suggest, it is purely hypothetical.
WN is using guerilla tactics quite successfully in the current market conditions. But there are limitations to this type of business model. That doesn't mean they won't continue to be successful, but there are boundries they won't be able to breach unless they change their model. And frankly, why fix something that isn't broke ? Although their stock is also trading near their 52 week low.
