Also after that aquisition was when SJU STT and STX plates showed up in our jepps and rumors started about getting the 170's etops certified.
RAH does not own any part of Carribean Sun. Wexford owns them.
SJU, STT, and STX showed up because Shuttle flys to the Carib. from Atlanta.
ETOPS is not required for any flying that the 170 can do. You can go to any island in the Carribean and be within legal distance of an alternate on one engine.
