Our commercial agreements with United will have two impacts on our bid:

1) Our code share agreement will transition from an "Express-style" relationship to an alliance style code share, similar to our Florida and Bahamas network. The passenger impact of this change will be minimal. Our passengers will continue to access coordinated schedules, competitive fares, and seamless connections at Washington Dulles International Airport.
2) We have reached terms where United will continue to piace its "UA" code on only seven of the nine cities included in our original April 17th proposal to the RFP. Because we will be unable to continue placing the "UA" code on flights to Altoona, PA (AOO) and Beckley, WV (BKW), we are
no longer able to serve these communities and have removed them from our bid.
