Right. That's what they told them on the 2018 expiration;

Just need to be able to string them along well enough to ensure an orderly transfer of beat up old clapped out airplanes to Commutair and TSA.

They don't seem to be replacing anything. Speculation at the regionals is that United will start taking back the flying that the regionals currently do. The other guys seem to be doing the same thing. Jet Blue has the 190s, Delta ordered the CS300 . This could be where some of the growth is going to come from.

Fixed it for you.

Hopefully VPS or PNS soon!!!

Off the top of my head where mainline has returned to (not necessarily completely replacing Express) over the last couple of years.

MSN
ORF
STL
IND
EUG
BTV
JAX
CHS
PWM
FSD
MKE
CVG

I'm sure there are others.

And as the 777A models get converted to a high density domestic config for hub to hub and Hawaii flying, that frees up narrowbodies to go to the spokes. In addition the 65 737-700's and 21 (TK number from my PC last week) used 319's coming will accelerate the change in domestic flying.

^^^ good. Can't turn RJS into beer cans fast enough. Scratch that, they're not good enough to be beer cans.

Litter boxes?
Bed pans?

I've had over nights at MEM, GRR, CMH, and PSP in the last few weeks, seen all the rest except for TUS in the bid packages. They're coming back. Can't get PNS/VPS/ECP soon enough.
