I'm talking PHX, CLT, ORD, IAD, and even Hawaii. For the 2013/2014 timeframe...

IAD - Silver and Commutair weren't very attractive options. Many of those pilots actually jumped to Mesa.

ORD - True, other options here. But not a bad junior base when you got friends to stay with until you get your real base of choice.

CLT - I'm trying to remember who else was even there at the time. Did PSA have a presence at that point?

PHX - SkyWest was the only other game in town, but it was a smaller operation with an uncertain future and a long time to hold.

Hawaii - Not my cup of tea, but if you lived there, not a lot of jet operators to apply to.

Anyway, is it really such a bad goal to bring up the rear? We'd like to improve things, both here and for the betterment of the regional industry. Barring that, I think a lot of us wouldn't mind signing a contract that ultimately closes the doors due to costs. Kind of a nice one-two on our way out.
