Chances of FL Flying to City as Close to ATL as GSP?

Just read that GSP has 59% market leakage to CLT, ATL, etc due to high fares here. So, the 1.4 million pax who used GSP last year equals less than half of what GSP should be handling - disgusting.

GSP is the center of a region with robust business activity, even in these economic times, and one that continues to grow. Given the leakage numbers, there is LOTS of business to be had for the LCC with insight. Not only that, but GSP pulls from a large region including parts of the CLT & ATL metros, CAE & Western N. Carolina. We have an immaculate facility, with gates available.

FL is the LCC I would personally most like to see at GSP. Based on the explosive response in this area to Independence Air and the corresponding surge in pax numbers at GSP, I know that this market would richly reward the carrier smart enough to recognize this lucrative potential.
