Joe Hodas Quotations

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
