There is nothing for us to sting down here - UA pulled out of PBI and FLL, and is turning MIA (no thanks) into an Express-only station.

For us, it's either CO or US metal in/out of south Florida. FLL has a huge business market, most of which is the domain of Delta, Continental, and in a limited way, US. Once UA turned FLL into a TED station, they effectively lost any hope of capturing market share down here and were doomed.
