@David:
The food vendors should’ve been located on the other side of the security check-in area. That’s where most of the people do their waiting.
But that is a business decision that would escape the grasp of Mayor Flintstone & Co., career leftist politicians.

@ David
I agree with your reasons for why the food vendors come and go. However, I’d like to suggest a change in your line-up. The first, and most important consideration, is finding out if you’ll have enough customers for what you’re offering. If you can’t answer yes, all the other business costs are not even factors worth considering. Without customers, you simply don’t have a business. Period!

Similarly, it appears Jet Blue failed to properly analyze the need for Tallahassee to Ft. Lauderdale flights. It only took them a few months to discover there was no real need and they pulled-out.

The “build it and they will come” approach to a business decision only works if you’re really sure what you’re “building” is something that people want.

@ Publius = I can only guess why Food Vendors come and go at the Airport and my Guess would be 3Fold: 01) High Rent. 02) High Prices. 03) Not enough Customers.

Skeptic: The Crowdstrike issue has been identified, For technicians working on the front lines, they can tell you exactly what caused this. It wasn’t in the “program” or an “upgrade”, it was an update file that had issues. Once the offending update file is deleted from the machine, the system was back to normal. Sometimes it is just as easy as a bad file. You can believe whatever you want. If you don’t run Crowdstrike, you were not hit by this outage. Crowdstrike has has similar(not as devastating) issues in the recent past.

As a periodic airline flyer, I find the ongoing cosmetic changes in the boarding areas amazing and when finished nothing really looks improved! Who are the contractors? Why do food vendors regularly come and go? What commercial businesses will be benefiting the new “international” area and how much has the City of Tallahassee spent?? How many Tallahasseans continue to fly out of Jacksonville and Panama City due to high ticket prices from Tallahassee?

David — I recall several years ago when a Microsoft “bug” put the Iranian centrifuges into wild spins and destroying them. The “bug” later escaped into the real world and went around the world.

I’ll never be convinced that the bug in the CrownStrike code was due to a routine upgrade and that it didn’t have “undocumented” purpose.

Correct me if I am wrong: I only found 4 Cities that Jetblu flew to from Tallahassee, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, Philadelphia and Boston. If I am not mistaken, we have had several Airlines that specialized in flying to just a couple Cities out of Tallahassee over the Years leave soon after arriving because there was no market for it.

I listened to Biden’s speech and it was full of Lies, as usual.

If a CrownStrike Employee working on the Update Program installed the Bug while creating the Program, would that be considered a Hack? I am thinking that may have been what happened because I would think they would have tested the Program out many times looking for potential issues BEFORE sending it out to all those Computers.

I have said, Jet Blue would not succeed. I hope taxpayers didn’t have to buy in to their attempt to provide service. What this community needs is some that knows and understands the airplane business running the airport.
