I mention this because who ever moves into these routes is going to have to overcome allot of bad experiences....entire companies (mostly the oil and gas types) almost entirely send there personal to IAH by van or car now. Hell some entrepreneur in Beaumont started a shuttle to go back and forth to IAH for 30bucks a pop and guess who his biggest customer is, that's right Colgan. They cancel so many flights a day now that half the time they just send everybody on the shuttle so they don't miss there connections hahaha.

Even if Silver could spare a few 1900's which I think would work fine for the Beaumont, Waco, Victoria type routes would United even allow this? Also would this flying have to be contracted by United or could a Silver or Lakes come in under a code share?
