Once again, Southwest cancels another flight out of ISP. The last schedule 3 flights were canceled. How about canceling all of them in one shot since it will probably end up that way in long run.

I looked at the new schedule and, once again, ISP is taking another hit. When SWA first began flying out of ISP some 10 years ago, they started with 80 flights a day and ISP was ranked the 78th busiest airport in the country. Then American left, followed by Delta and Continental. SWA pretty much owns the airport now and has continued to cut back service and raise fares. ISP is not even in the top 150 busest airports and with the new schedule, SWA cancelled another 3 flights(dropping the total number of departures to 21 per day from a high of 80). Thanks for ruining a once great airport....please leave!

While their policies are good, their tactics are not. When SW first started flying out of ISP on Long Island, the airport was the 78th busiest in the country. They had very low fares and 80 flights a day. The competition left, SW fares went up and the number of flights they fly has been cut in half. Now ISP is not even in the top 150 airports in the country. I rather fly out of one of the city airports then fly an airline who has been taking the people of Long Island for granted.

I am very puzzled by the fact that SWA has decided to cancel two flights between ISP and BWI (in addition to other ISP cancellations). One of the flights which has been cancelled is one that I take every week on a Friday. That flight is usually 95%-100% full all of the time. First you drove out the competition from ISP and now you are cancelling flights.....not good!
