Maybe out of IAH, but the Northeast is going to see a major USA reduction.

Well thanks for the all the updates. This all came as a bit of a shock to me ... then again I'm based in IAD and we don't hear anything here pertaining to the company.

We have EAS routes that go to BOS so either they will continue to operate those as US Airways express, or, they will continue to operate that independently. I'm sure that the extra Saabs from the LGA closure will find a home in IAD, IAH, or BOS flying. That is just my educated guess.
That sounds about right for the # of saabs we have there ... give or take one or two. We don't have a real big operation out of there, and without the summer island flying, it's barely anything at all. Hopefully we can find a place to use those Saabs. I'd hate to see us loose any of them.
