So, if the SJTA/casino could create a lucrative deal for Southwest, much like the real estate developer in Panama City FL, WN could do 2x a day from ACY-MDW, much like they do 2x a day. Or ACY-CLE-MDW, if not to add more strain at MDW, with a side benefit of serving CLE to the PHL region. In end, still a better flight time into ACY, over AirTran which would go via Atlanta.
