I don't remember exactly, but aircraft w/ more than 30 seats cannot operate into ARFF A airports, right?

And all of Horizons fleet have more than 30 seats, right?

Maybe AS wants a B1900 operator to serve places like Moses Lake. Is Moses Lake an EAS destination?

Just a thought.

Moses Lake does not have enough passengers to justify service with such a large plane. It has noting to do with performance issues.
