Be forewarned that several different groups have recently petitioned the DOT for Reconsideration of the Order selecting Southern Airways Express for the EAS contract at El Dorado. Any associated increase in pilot jobs at Southern Airways Express as a result of this order, may be delayed or nullified by the outcome of the reconsideration petition.
While the reconsideration petition only involves the EAS at El Dorado at this time, the DOT docket for this award does combine all three communities of Hot Springs, El Dorado and Harrison. If the reconsideration petition results in a revised EAS order by the DOT, the EAS for all three communities could also end up being awarded to (an)other carrier(s) and significantly changed from the plans that Southern Airways Express has already announced.
