Pensacola really is the only logical SWA stop in these parts. They're just dancing with everyone else in order to get PNS to sweeten the pot even more.

They didn't spend any money. The Gmail address you could send your suggestions to was free. Did you e-mail your suggestions? That might be why they weren't considered.
They also mentioned the Big Airport Hidden in the Woods Intl. Airport suggestion.

New airport name 'confusing' - Okaloosa - Northwest Florida Daily News
"Brannon assured the Airport Authority that a recently passed half-cent bed tax in Walton County was meant strictly to help bring low-cost carriers to the new Bay County airport, and not other nearby airports such as Northwest Florida Regional.
?It?s just true that many of our infrastructure and transportation needs are linked to Bay County,? Brannon said after the meeting.
Brannon?s and Moliterno?s support of the Bay County airport came as a shock to Donovan.
?It was an absolute surprise,? he said. ?Historically, Walton County and the Walton County chamber have been supportive of VPS (Okaloosa Regional).?
Donovan objected to Brannon?s characterization of the half-cent bed tax. He noted a resolution the Walton County Commission approved in March that calls for using the tax revenue to help attract a low-cost carrier either Okaloosa or Bay counties."

^^^Interesting article
I had kind of wondered what kind of tug of war Walton County might find itself in.
I also was wondering what this meant:
How does a commission join and industrial district?

The new name kind of hurts my head...Can I just call it "NoFloPanCy Airport" instead?

Ah, the new airport code must be: NWFLPCIA
I know it is a little longer than the typical three letter airport code, but hey, so what.

I hope they secure a web address soon. Looks like NWF.com has already been taken, and not by the National Wildlife Federation. The Lebanese must be buying up all prospective names for the new airport.
