In the interview I read with Fred Deleeuw (Probably butchered that) he stated they were in talks with the DOT about ceasing only the east coast EAS flying but the DOT told them no. If they shut down some of the EAS flying they have to take down all the flying. He went on to say he was hopeful they would allow them to continue their EAS flyinf out west while a new carrier was selected. Best of luck to all involved. Tough situation.
