Right you are, Sand. There is a VERY slim chance of getting Fl, but hell, I bid it anyway. The Beech will be in operation for awhile, has the Saabs come online, they will be placed on all the Florida routes first. The Beech's will be used for other oppurtunities though there is a strong demand for thier services up north and other places. Of course thier retirement from the airline is a sure thing, with the Saabs going up north and EAS routes too, but that's about 2 years out or shorter, the way upper management is talking.
