Another US-HP "merger"

From the article "Spirit is the second-largest carrier at Detroit Metro Airport, with 18 daily flights".

Wow. 18 flights. Am I the only one who finds that strange that a carrier with just 18 flights/day at a large metropolitan airport is ranked the SECOND largest there? NW really must have a stranglehold....

Yes, you are correct to find it strange! They missed a digit! Check the flight schedules to confirm. Oh, but what's in the press is always right. (Sarcasm) SWA has 18 fligts/day at DTW. I guess the reporter couldn't distinguish between one LCC and the other.
