New Airline in town

Seems like this new service might be a byproduct of the fact that a huge, efficient aircraft maintenance site is located here.  Airlines save money by routing jets through Tulsa for maintenance, so why not carry some passengers as well?  

i dunno which is worse, being on the last flight before the plane goes in for maintenance or being the first passenger flight on a plane fresh out of maintenance.

lol, I've thought of that too.  Then I figured if a plane is on its way in for some maintenance it means it is getting regularly scheduled maintenance - which is nice.  It would be the ones that fly for services without a maintenance contract that should scare you.

Good Ole' Boy Network:  Doesnt apply here at all.  Express Jet will be paying to fly out of TUL not getting money from the county - like *some* airlines did.

And the route are fine with me.  They have to fly the ones they think will make money.  if enough people use the service, it will likely grow.  Now all I need is rate info!

Its nice ExpressJet is talking about good inflight service, too.  Meals, snacks, and XM radio.

BTW, you can get single connection service to Asia.  I flew TUL-DFW-NRT (Tokyo) on AA in September.

Oh come on, they are hauling neither hydrogen, nor buffalo.

Maybe it wasn't a buffalo in the first place...

Did you feel like a puffer fish after being in the air that long?  I don't think I could stand being cooped up that long.
