IMO the pace is great. We select where we start. I chose MTY over MEX because I like the challenge of growing from a mid-sized market. If I had it to do over again I'd probably wait to open the second base tho.

If one is starting at LHR, they're virtually guaranteed to be one of the biggest as just about any route out of there is a moneyspinner. At the beginning, there's not enough competition to absorb the traffic so new additions don't kill the routes. Since A/C are so scarce, no one has the capacity to flood any routes. We're JUST getting beyond that stage for the major Euroairports it seems, but most of the rest of the world is still very much early days.
back on topic, 730k DOP and I'm on track to be #2 in Central America (which is like, #550 worldwide!
