I believe that the reductions are temporary seasonal changes that are adjusting to some market changes. For instance, there has been a drop of leasure travel to MCO from select markets that even the Walt Disney Company has recognized. That is why some of the MCO directs flights are being scaled back. Expectations are that this travel will pick back up after September. These reductions, coupled with the addition of Kansas City in Oct will allow FL to keep up frequency in some of the better business markets. As for TLH , it's just matching seat miles with demand. Delta seams to be planning to combat FL's market penetration with more RJ frequency and some price matching. Only time will tell if that strategy will be sucessful. FL has built a loyal customer base over the years that Delta has been sleeping. Is the cost for seat mile cheaper on a 50 seat RJ?
