Is 9K after all 6 cities or just the four? Also what happens to the other 4, if DOT votes Cape into these two cities. The only other carrier that bid all 6 cities, ( that I'm aware of ) is 3M and they wont do less than all 6, its just not cost effective (their proposal was all or nothing). Do the other 4 get re proposed, or start the process over again? FWIW I liked the proposal for a darkhorse company named Air Technologies, and proposed KA200's, and Chicago as a hub. But in the end, is anyone
REALLY going to be able to get codeshare for this, with STL as a hub?
Wondering how this will all pan out.
They whine, complain, say they're scared, but in the end they buckle up tight and go flying. 9 times out of 10 they come back again after realizing a 402 isn't as scary as they thought it'd be.
Looking at the EAS proposal, we bid on 4 cities, but will take a minimum of 2. Not sure about anything with the codeshare, though. I bet something will be worked out.
