    Sure… why not? Let’s ignore the fact that people are not flying out of Mid Continent and build a new terminal to serve the dwindling population… that makes perfect sense! Next, we could put in an 8-Track tape store on the concourse!

    What do you mean by “dwindling population”?

    I’m with ya, WichitaWordsmith – the heck with the 21st century. Who needs a more efficient, safer airport for the people who DO fly? Who needs airplanes for that matter? What was wrong with the dang stagecoach? Facts show Wichita grew during that era – let’s bring it back.

    HELLO, antymaster…

    Did you even read Carries explanation of why we should care about the random comment she chose to publicize??? Here it is again:

    I get what you’re saying but seriously–You rival Kanye West in most gratuitous use of the caps lock button-we get it you’re disgruntled…about everything–why do you even read this column?

    Calm down, my friend.

    “Let’s ignore the fact that people are not flying out of Mid Continent and build a new terminal to serve the *dwindling population*”

    *Dwindling population* in your comment does not equal *declining passenger numbers* in Carrie’s post. The way you phrased it made it sound as if the Wichita metro population is declining, which is in fact not correct.

    Maybe YOU should re-read your own posts.
