This is true. Planes are being taken from BIL and are going to BOS. Cities out of BIL are being dropped because of this. However, they are already providing service out of the EAS cities and are planning lots of expansions to other cities, including into Canada that are not EAS routes. I wouldn't be surprised if they pull out of Montana one day and focus on the new Delta contract. This is where the talk of Salt Lake and LAX come from, feeders for Delta.
