We have an office in MSP so I fly the EWR to MSP route
quite frequently. The 737 flights in both direction are
great times for my trips. One of the worst things about
the change to regional jets is that they seem to have
much worse on time behavior. It is very common to sit
on the apron at MSP in regional jet in both directions.

I think CO is missing a huge opportunity especially since
Delta is trying to take over the NYC area market.
There is very strong anti-Delta feeling in the Twin Cities.
For example, the change from the local US Bank Visa
to Amex. I do not understand the competing US Bank
card, but is very bad for the Delta brand at MSP. There
is definitely a feeling of betrayal. This is hard to explain,
but there is also still some animosity between northern
Minnesotans and southerners.

It is true CO 737s in coach are only about 1/3 full, but
I think that is because nobody knows about the flights.
For me EWR is the best airport because of the train to
Penn Station without needing to deal with JFK. I do
not understand why CO does not advertise in the Twin
Cities because in New York the Delta ads are all over.
