That's what I'm thinking. I don't see how you can operate a regional airline on at risk contracts on a long term basis. I guess it would be better to sell them both for 83 million and let Trans States and Pinnacle figure it out, but so far no regional airline has done at risk flying and lasted longer than 18 months.
