Are you sure?
"On February 14, 2012, the President signed the “Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Modernization and Reform Act of 2012” (Public Law No. 112-95), which contained several additional reforms. First, the law capped the communities in the 48 states plus Puerto Rico that are eligible to participate in the program. (There were no changes in Alaska or Hawaii.) The law states that only those communities that were receiving subsidized EAS at any time between September 30, 2010, and September 30, 2011, or that received a 90-day notice from their incumbent carrier and the Department held that carrier in, would remain eligible for the program. Therefore, no new communities can enter the program should they lose their unsubsidized service. Secondly, the law requires that in order to remain in the EAS program, beginning with fiscal year 2013, subsidized communities must maintain an average of ten passenger enplanements per service day. The law provides exceptions for communities in Alaska and Hawaii, and for those that are more than 175 driving miles from the nearest large or medium hub airport."

A single IAH base? Does that mean no IAD or EWR either? Everyone based out of IAH? Sorry to seem ignorant, but I just accepted an offer from CommutAir and trying to get a grasp on what's going on. Anything in the rumor mill about a possible base in DEN?

It was also mentioned that the MX base could possibly be ALB...I'm sure all the mechanics will love the FAA right next door breathing down their necks 24/7.
