It’s time for YNG to follow Rockford!

From the Rockford-Register Star newspaper:
Chicago Rockford International Airport officials conducted an online
survey over the past two weeks asking people whether the airport got
seasonal, nonstop jet service — with an average fare of about $100 each
way to either tourist destination — which they would prefer.
Niagara Falls got 1,748 votes; Jackson Hole, home of Grand Teton
National Park and close to Yellowstone National Park, got 1,715.
The survey response could help the airport get a new destination, officials said.
Airport Executive Director Bob O’Brien said the airport is in talks
with an unnamed airline to start service to one or both as early as
Memorial Day. To start that early, though, a decision needs to be made
in the next 10 days. If something is announced later, service would
start later.

Folks, I’ve been pushing for something like this for months now. Hell what do you think I started the RallyForYNG Poll for! Steve Bowser has had every opportunity to use the data from that poll to show to airlines, its simply to the right of this post and is on every page of this blog.
Just imagine us if we did do something like this, thought outside the box, and worked in this 21st century economy to get things done! The "SKIES THE LIMIT!"

Thank You!
if you are expecting steve bowser to do something it is not going to happen. I commend your efforts though.
I have talked with Steve before. He is a sincere guy and does his best for the airport. He needs someone dedicated to working out airline deals. He has more stuff to do than you may think in a work-day.
I do not agree. It is time for a change.
Greg, please email me @ ohiostadiums@gmail.com.
I’d like to talk to you privately about the airport. Thanks!
