Idk of any update on the compact but For his sanity, it’s probably best Lobo didn’t stick around long enough to see what was to become of his beloved U. The writing was on the wall of course but seeing it materialize is something else.
40 high volume markets… when you start combining neighboring airports into a market like dfw/dal or Houston’s two, to get down to 40th market we’re talking like Omaha or Boise type shit.
Only hesitation I have on calling it is of course the far outposts of the city limits are gonna vote against it. All the pain with minimal payoff for them
I mean shit, the last ten months have been NOTHING but uncertainty and look at what the markets have done. Additionally it would generally remove the uncertainty of whiplash capricious tariffs going forward. As of today the corps are looking at the already paid tariffs as money gone so getting a refund would bolster them. Throw on no tariffs = lower price inflation and I see it as overall positives.
of course, scotus will prob say he has the right to enforce tariffs individual tax payers not just countries/industries. the market will prob bounce 3% one way then slingshot the other within hours bc that’s what we do.
