PNCL Corp says the contract is only for 1 year. Depending on the profitability of the markets, of course. I predict that they will trim some markets after a couple months, just like they did with Colgan.
The flying is pro-rate/at risk. If the slot seat goes through I doubt there is much need for these aircraft- hence why Colgan no longer serves the markets. We would still be there if the slot swap was not mentioned.
