Southwest has cut ISP service to such an extent that I don't know how they can now justify the money they spent on the terminal. It seems as if WN didn't see the downturn in the economy coming. As it stands now WN does not need 8 gates at ISP. Not that the market dictates it now but it would be nice to see a network carrier begin service other then U.S Airways.

Should I be surprised that nothing was cut at PHL? :?:
