Quoted from TribDem.com
The U.S. Department of Transportation has approved Silver’s proposal to take over the subsidized service being handed off by Colgan Air, Senator Bob Casey announced today.
The Fort Lauderdale, Fla., airline is asking for $3,997,187 a year in federal funds to operate 18 flights a week between Johnstown-Altoona and Dulles International Airport near Washington. It includes three flights each weekday, one on Saturday and two on Sunday.

Colgan’s current EAS contract expires on June 30, 2012. Should Silver Airways not start full EAS on July 1, 2012, the Department will extend Colgan’s current contract until Silver Airways begins full EAS.
"...this proposal is contingent upon Silver Airways’ obtaining a United codeshare agreement to include the Altoona and Johnstown flights...

Apparently the Atlanta flying may become more tangible very soon. I know it doesn't mean much without a DOT approval, but still...

I little birdie told me that Delta would talk code-share with Silver once they had Saabs in operation (which I still don't believe considering Deltas push for jets)... maybe this is the start of something?

Ok something dosen't make sense about this company. So they are currently short staffed and been slow to get the training department going. Now they may have as many as 3-4 new contracts to fly with aircraft that are not even in service yet. If hiring stops how would they even consider the new contracts? I would love to know the new mission now.
