Forward-looking statements may include, among others, references to future performance and any comments about our strategic plans. There are many risk factors that could prevent us from achieving our goals and cause the underlying assumptions of these forward-looking statements, and our actual results, to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, our forward-looking statements.

Advantages over the typical carrier 4  Leisure customer – Will travel in all economic conditions – Vacations are valued – price dependent  Small cities – Filling a large void – Increasing opportunity - industry restructuring – Diversity of network - minimizes competition  Flexibility – Adjust rapidly to changing macro (fuel/economy) – Changes in supply - immediate impact on price – Minimize threat of irrational behavior from others  Low cost fleet – Match capacity to demand, highly variable – Low capital needs, higher free cash flow – Can grow and return cash to shareholders Built to be different Leisure customer Underserved markets Little competition Low cost aircraft Low frequency/variable capacity Unbundled pricing Closed distribution Bundled packages Highly profitable

Future opportunities 14  Small cities are still core – More new cities – Plenty of connecting the dots – Impacted by weakness in regional carriers  Mid sized cities providing new opportunities – Cincinnati - downsized Delta hub – Larger cities mature and grow quicker than smaller cities – Group most likely impacted by consolidation  Airbus cities – 20-30 cities which Airbus aircraft can operate out of vs MD-80  International – Small cities from Mexico and Mexico destination cities – Caribbean
