I thought LAX was going to be gone in a few months, that it was going back to Envoy while we ran other routes better suited to 76 seat aircraft.
That said, how credible is your source? It's hard to say what will happen with PHX, but most guys I've talked to feel confident that our mainline partners will maintain its hub status for the foreseeable future, and that it could even grow. Coupled with SkyWest's PHX contract almost being up (can someone else confirm? I'm not as current on their affairs) we might get additional flying out of Phoenix.
That's all optimistic, I admit, but I'd love to get to the bottom of it.
