From CEO Bryan Bedford:

"I met with the leadership team and announced that by the end of the year the Company intends to consolidate the ERJ flying activity currently operated on the Chautauqua airline operating certificate onto our Shuttle America airline operating certificate. Wayne met with the FAA this morning to review the same plan. We understand this decision will spark a great deal of emotion for some of you and appreciate the pride you take in being associated with each of our airline operating certificates. Although change can be difficult, I am confident this change will be a positive move for our airline."
