I don't want to be a pessimist but I'm not sure that operation can hold. I don't know what the subsidy pays on those EAS routes but I did do a little sniffing. Was recently flying the JS31 and 32 so it caught my attention. Forget whether the AC checks out or not. Consider it's ability to run the mission. There is a reason jetstreams are a mil and the BE1900 is 3 mil. Performance is weak on the 31 and it is not going to carry 19 people the 240 miles to Dallas (I forget what the initial route is supposed to be but it was 240nm anyway). Not in that Texas heat. a JS32 would be tough as well. So maybe 14...maybe. 14 times 99 bucks a head is 1400 bucks (if you sell 14 tickets. Lets just forget about 19) Over half of that is going to go to fuel leaving little for overhead. MX on those old british birds is not cheap either. They break every week and parts are not especially common in the states unless you know the guys I do and some of you do i'm sure. If that plane can't stay full and busy they will never be able to cover the fixed costs unless they can expand and justify 3 of those junkstreams running regularly. That's my thoughts. No doubt there will be a contract so make sure you put them under contract as well to continue to pay that full year even if they fold.
