No expansion unfortunately, they are discontinuing LAX-MOD service (my hometown dammit!). So cut the 4 daily flights from Motown and that's where the planes for the 2 and 2 new flights come from. Such a bummer, it was nice having the Modesto-LAX flights while they lasted. At least we've still got the SFO flights, oh I forgot, they are cutting those down from 5 to 4 a day too

No idea dude...since I've been looking to head back East I haven't really kept up on the goings-on at the schoolhouse or Fatherland...
How are you bidding there in FAT?? I think I've already asked you once or twice, but my memory serves me much like a goldfish LoL

It very well may be man...Not too happy about it, but I've gotta go where the flying is. Actually, I'm seriously thinking about transitioning over to the Bro in FAT - did I already tell you that?? Not sure haha...Anyway we'll see - oh and btw, I got your invite...damn right I'll be there!

I think like two are being removed from service in June or July according to our last Headlines paper we got. Next time I run into Dennis I am going to probe him for more info. I have recurrent in FAT on April 12th so maybe I will hear something there? Anyway, that looks like that is all the Bro's were getting rid of this year until the new 700/900 start coming in the beginning of next year. Of course that is all subject to change as well. Did a LAX-MOD run last Thursday and the news was there doing a story about the loss of service to LAX. Seemed like that was a pretty good run for us and flights I have flown seemed to have good loads on them. MOD is a good overnight and I am sad to see them getting cut back!

Maybe someone else can chime in but back when I flew the Bro we didn't have to do anything special. The only addition to the a/c as far as icing goes is the "Comair Box" but that was installed years ago and as long as you stayed above 170 KIAS you're fine. I've flown it in some pretty bad icing and it did just fine.
