The question: What happens to the EAS 90-day notice to quit, and the Federal obligation to continue service until a replacement takes over?

Do the Feds get to arm-twist some other carrier to take over immediately? And 'immediately' isn't truly 'immediate,' given the need for the incoming folks to hire staff, get or re-assign aircraft, do proving flights, negotiate with the EAS people, etc.

Any way you look at it, sounds like there will be a gap between the EAS hard places and GLA's 'rock.'
