Joe Hodas Quotations

I think their intent is to grow their company as our intent is to grow our company.

I think there's this sense out there that every flight will just be jam-packed. Yes, some carriers pulled out capacity, and there's no doubt it'll be busy, but it's not like every flight will be full.

Jeff will likely use that as a forum to address these issues.

I think our story hasn't really penetrated nationally as much as it can.

The pilot at that point decided to get it checked out.

This really provides us with a cushion for unforeseen bad times as well as additional funding if other opportunities are available. It kind of straddles both sides of the street.

We've been building this airline for 12 years to compete against anybody, Southwest or otherwise.

There could have been something wrong with the door, or it could have been a faulty switch or misinformation by the computer system.

At the end of the day, I think (everyone) technically (does pay the same for security) when it comes to the security fee, sure. But those travelers (first class and frequent flyers) also generate more taxes, more revenue for the airport as well.

Flip's contract is coming to an end at Feb. 5 (the Super Bowl). We can't say whether his contract will be renewed. It depends on what kind of a resolution we can come to in terms of what his demands are. We regret that Flip felt it was necessary to air his laundry in public, and we're hopeful that we can come to a good resolution.

Flip has wanted to go to Mexico for quite a while. But it's difficult to let our animals decide where they want to go . . . really difficult.

This is such a huge thing for us to have large national exposure for our training program. This gives us the opportunity to build some name recognition outside Denver.

The airline business is moving at 100 mph right now. It just makes sense to get the things we might need in place right now so we can react if and when the time comes.

How are we going to catapult ourselves nationally and become a national news story? This agency will hopefully help us.

The key word in this whole process is flexibility. At the end of the day, we need the flexibility to respond to opportunities in this volatile industry. This means . . . we can do that easily and quickly.
