Domestic certificate wouldn't have done very little for Eastern. What's their "special marker" which other established carriers don't go? They needed Cuba to stay limited/restricted. I don't wish bad for the pilots there but the company has very little to offer the general public. I don't see a long term outcome for Eastern. Hopefully another 737 carrier can buy them so everyone can stay employees.
