Thats quite the rumor to throw out there... I know US Airways is cutting back, I'm with PSA so i cant speak for the cheeseheads but i dunno about 50%. They do A LOT of the express stuff.

Ouch! Is USAir the only airline Air Whiskey flies for?

I hope this isn't true for them! Best of luck.

I think the rumor got distorted, it was probably

"Comair Loses 50% of all it's Delta flying, Delta fools Comair with the old bait and switch, then LOL's and says 'that's for the strike!"

I believe so...

Do they fly only the 50 seat CRJ? If so I could see that happening. Best of luck to the Air Wkisky guys if this is true.

What's up with the huge text? Only heard 9% for September and then who knows about the rest of the year, but highly doubt 50%.

I think that US Air is also watching to see what is going to happen with Mesa. If they go under then Air Whisky may be picking up some of there flying.

Always good to see the rumour mill working over-time.

We've had our block hours reduced from September on by 9%, pretty much in line with Airways and the other Express carriers.

Put no stock in third-hand rumors...especially ones of that magnitude.
