Mr. Freeman, I forget, which airline did you run prior to joining Community Air?
I'm being silly of course as I don't think you have ANY aviation background.
You are entitled to your opinion and speculation but remember that Porter's expansion is a calculated exercise and Deluce isn't going to add destinations that don't make sense. I do agree that it will be difficult to expand beyond the core cities already on the Porter route map, however, remember that Porter may serve cities beyond the 1000km range by making an enroute stop (like they do for their Halifax flights). Don't underestimate Deluce as his history has already proven he is a capable airline manager. On a related note about his startup equity, I read somewhere recently that some of the venture capitalists were looking to cash out their investment in Porter. I don't know if this has already happened or was only being considered because of the economic downturn.

Take Care!
Joe
