Fitz - Thanks for the reply. I see your main point now....the proposed expansion. I guess my questions is: Politics and grift aside, for what functional purpose? The existing facility seems under utilized currently. Even with the added AA flights next season, its hard to imagine EIS ever being anything like the STT weekend sh_t show. I think Delta could even add a couple flights from the mainland and not overwhelm EIS's capacity. That said, perhaps there are times when EIS is maxed out....I've just never experienced that in my travels. If there are choke points could they be addresses by adding staff and making minor structural improvements?

Agree with VGR, more (later) ferry service options would help.
