So if all goes as planed and every SF340 is TU by the end of may what is going to happen to all of these routes from IAH? So many of these towns have invested huge amounts of money in terms of infrastructure and direct subsidy's to keep commercial service alive and I know at least a few are actually profitable. Would XJT be in a position to at least cover some of this lift on a temporry basis, I know back in the day they would run almost 5 flights a day to Beaumont in the ERJ (obviously a poor business decision)

In another thread someone pointed out that Victoria was EAS, so if I understand things correctly Colgan will have to continue to fly these routes until the DOT releases them from the EAS contract? That being said would they leave a few Saab's around or is it conceivable that we could see a Q or CRJ on this route and possiably others?
