I certainly understand Terry’s point here. The very large main hubs are not
likely to change by 2017. However, these large, main hugs are few and far
between. We probably need to be prepared to drive as much as 2 hours once
arriving via air to location.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] air flights to national
With air travel being so unpredictable why should it be used as a criteria for
a national site? Show sites need to be booked years in advance. there is
absolutely no guarantee that a hub will remain a hub, or that the airline that
flies direct will even be in existence by the time a national rolls around. If
they haven't selected a 2017 show site by now there probably not going to hold
a national in the west. This is 7-15 those facilities are booked no less than 2
years in advance.
If they didn't have a vote on a 2017 site at this board meeting there isn't
going to be a rotation it is a simple as that.
Why beat a dead horse.
Terry
