Great news to be sure, I was really excited to hear about the new jobs at the airport (good jobs too!).
However, it should be noted that the $10,000,000.00 we are giving to AA is simply to guarantee no job losses.

Even MORE impressive is the continued hiring by existing companies. Large and small - from OneOK to Williams to QT to every metal fabrication shop, retailer, casino, and service company in town. Lets hope we keep this up for a few years and really get on a roll.
