By the way, how is the SAAB out of MEM? That is what I am planning on at this point.
Thanx
Utilization is already up on the Saab. It is planned to stay as it is now.
Saab in MEM is tough in the summer. Flightdeck is very hot. There isn't a lot of variety of trips down here either. Only 12 outstations to choose from, so it gets a little repetative. You have fairly long breaks between stops at MEM, sometimes 2 hours. This is fine if you like to take a break, eat and make some calls etc. It isn't so good from a commuter standpoint when you just want to come, work and go home.
DTW has the most variety of destinations and trips. MSP is like MEM in terms of variety, but it is a lot cooler, and long breaks are few.
