FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

And they have a great Winter Festival!! There is a plaque in the downtown area that reads "This is the site of where we drove the Native Americans from this area" Now there is something to be proud of! NOT!! :rolleyes:

Sadly, in parts of Louisiana, successfully expelling the non-white skinned people is a badge of pride.

Let's not forget that this is the state that came close to electing a Klan grand wizard as its governor almost 20 years ago.

That is why I think it makes great sense to use 737s on the routes. Increase utilization and grab some revenue from niche markets. There are a ton of people in Orange County with property in the islands who will pay a premium not to drive up to LAX.

I find it interesting that SNA is now one of the few markets with non-hub service!!

IIRC, Kellner has a home in Orange County. Maybe he likes Hawaii? ;)

I learned the pronunciation from a Northern Louisiana :rolleyes: with Acadiana heritage, so who knows...

I'm sure that :rolleyes:'s pronunciation was probably the more authentic one.

Well, remember LK lived out there and IIRC still has a home in Orange County.

Probably to compete with DL running flights to HNL out of SAN.

CO announced its flight first, and quite some time before DL announced its out of SAN.

Edit: Just realized they announced SNA-OGG today. I was referring to the previously announced SNA-HNL flight. Didn't catch until just now they were announcing additional SNA-Hawaii flying.

I'll definitely have to try one of those.

As a tidbit of information about these two cities, there are named after two Indian sisters from the area.

Bottom line, Orange County still has plenty of $$$ and people who despise driving up to LAX for their getaway flights.

Similarly, I can see someplace like SJC getting similar service for the googleites.

"dish" is the correct pronunciation. My cousins and uncle lived there for a good twenty years before he passed away.

Natchitoches is an Indian name along with Nacogdoches and if my understanding is correct they are actually sister cities.

ETA: Scott beat me to it.

According to the Wikipedia article about the last TW800 flight, the planned routing continued to Rome after CDG.

Teh Mom called me just now. The picture was taken in CDG after originating in ATH. The day she was on the aircraft, there was a problem that necessitated a stop in CDG...picking people up due to another aircraft going Tango Uniform. She was originally scheduled on an ATH-NYC nonstop.
