Strengths and opportunities:
- Business model not dependent on airfare revenue; strong ancillary revenues
- Operating under the radar of most big airlines
- Extremely low costs
- Using MD-80s with high operating costs but very low capital costs
- Maintains close relationships with hotel suppliers in Las Veags, Orlando and other key markets
- Tapping underserved U.S markets largely ignored by LCCs

Weaknesses and threats:
- As it grows, may attract attention of jealous competitors
- Number of small markets able to support air service to Las Vegas and Orlando, etc., may be limited, even with the low fares it can offer
- MD-80s become more and more inefficient as oil prices rise
