The N&R did indeed answer the question of just how much of the $57 million incentives package was paid out to Skybus.

Even more interesting are comments from local leaders following Skybus’ early demise. PTIA chairman Henry Isaacson says he’d set up an incentives package for another low cost airline “in a heartbeat,’ while Greensboro Partnership CEO Pat Danahy says the “publicity and exposure we got (as a Skybus hub) far outweighs the cost.”

Really?
