Yes, we did have side letters for Bar Harbor, who went bust when we did, but early turboprops and DC-3s are a far cry from today's deals. Hell, DCI's "jumbo" RJ is bigger than EA's fleet--284 to 325. Yes, the industry is bigger, but stll".....
Yes, Pan Am did right by taking Ransome, making it PAA Express. A friend of mine was #1 there, went to PAA mainline on the A310, retired from DAL.
