Small time airline that operates scheduled and charter flights out of hubs in Orlando, St. Petersburgh, and Las Vegas.  They have already filed for chapter 11 once.  Bulk of their revenue comes from a contract they had signed for Harrah's casino.

"Ted" is/was United discount carrier that was made to compete with Southwest and AirTran, much like Delta had Song.  I don't know if Ted is still around though.

"Niche" market.  They specialize in flying Mom and Pop from Podunk to Las Vegas so they can play the slots and see Wayne Newton.  Lucrative market.

I fly them all the time.  Cheap fares, low service.  They even charge you a couple dollars for a bottle of water.  But who cares - airfare is $200 cheaper, and it's the only direct flight to Vegas from Shreveport, LA (I'm there every month or so on business).

I saw "Ted" flying last week, out of Vegas.

Thanks for the info.
