When we were flying it we were doing 5 round trips a week. So it was easy to keep the planes flying out and back to SUU. Two flights a week with 2 planes does not work. But now the east caost flying has slowed down. So now we are screwed...

Atlas has picked up the SUU flying, two trips a week. It works because they are doing it with a -400 and heavy crew it, and then move the crews and use them elsewhere. I'm willing to bet, the bottom line is less in the end for the SUU flying.
