If they made decisions just on economics would they get rid of turbo props at a time when gas is just under all time highs? If it was based just on economics wouldn't they keep flying routes with government guaranteed money? It was my understanding that that these routes were positive cash flow. Regardless of how you feel about EAS, if the government is going to hand you money, why not do it?
