Good luck to ERA guys
Sure would like to know where you heard that! Last year, when ERA was for sale, PenAir wasn't interested. I hope that we get 3 more SAAB's, (can you say upgrades
) but I kinda doubt it. I think ERA will use chapter 11 just like all the major carriers. They can get out from under their debt, and start paying their employees less. Sound familiar anyone??? I have a friend over at ERA, I guess I should give him a call and get the real scoop.
