RAH has pulled their 50 seat flying from US Airways. As of May 1, none there.
US Airways Mainline drives the fuel cost indexing at RAH, implementing their fuel cost indexing software to RAH to reduce wasted fuel in all flight regimes, including APU usage.
RAH starts taking deliveries of new AA E175s in July '13 with 2-3 airframes per month. Opened CVG training facility in May (old ComAir FSI building) with a new SIM there.
No new news on RAH's C-Series LOI with Bombardier.
Frontier, while up for sale, isn't bleeding red ink anymore.
SKW just inked a deal with UAL to operate 40 E175s and inked a deal with Embraer for those 40 airframes, plus conditional options for another 60 airframes. That doesn't include their MRJ commitments.
Just sayin'
