I haven't heard anything specific about Bar Harbor, however that is the kind of market they're looking at expanding into. So when EAS routes come up for bid - which is every two years I think - I would expect that management would be there putting in a proposal. I think Colgan is getting rid of, or shrinking, their 1900 fleet and trying to sell the Saab 340 on the EAS routes, which because of higher ticket cost, and lower frequency, was not as attractive to local officials in Rockland, ME when they did our Dog and Pony Show up there.

I also heard that we went to MD last week to discuss an EAS route from BWI to a couple places across the Chesapeake.
