I just want to say that if per the USAToday you really intend to make MCO, TPA, and LAS your Canadian connection cities and then require a second connection in Canada you have really gone mad! Who in the world would fly 2, 3 and 4 hours south in the wrong direction, connect, turn around, come back, connect again, and then get to where they want to go??? That puts you at a competitive disadvantage to EVERYBODY. AirCanada Jazz flies nonstop to Toronto with one connection to the rest of Canada without ever going in the wrong direction; and AA, United, Continental, Delta, Frontier, US Airways all allow you to fly in the right direction to a border city and then connect to any city in Canada that you want to go to. Why would you guys do something so.....well....blind? The article in Chicago's paper following the initial announcemnt that said you probably make the connection at MDW and have WestJet fly to several of their cities from there made exponentially more sense and I would strongly suggest you guys doing that instead or it is going to be hard to draw people away from their existing options. Sorry for posting this here on a somehwat older entry but it was the only recent and mostly relevant place to write it and I hope that you will read and consider it.
