From an Email we received it looks like we’ll be down to a fraction of our current fly by the end of next summer. Although they tell us they will not close the base seeing there are routes that 9E can't fly due to their contract with NWA. Instead they will maintain ATL’s current size and flow us through DEN, ORD and SLC. In NOV I had two trips that included ORD CR7 flying and third had me spend a day in the DEN system.
I can see it now, by the end of next year the only destinations we will have in ATL is MSP, MEM & DTW (all NWA domiciles)! LOL!
Skywest will need some 700's in ATL, were doing ASE to ATL in FEB. As far as I understood, we only have 900's in ATL. Still not sure where the plane will come from. It will have to start in SLC?
