I heard the same thing. I remember seeing somewhere that they were going to have a bunch of flying out of Boise. (I guess that didn't come through) From what I have heard this company is disorganized and still pursuing any EAS flying that sticks. I think this past year they bid on 9-12 routes in KS, NE, SD, WY, CO and won NONE! Out bid by Great Lakes. That is LOL material.

They dropped flying to Great Falls and Kalispell (Their own back yard). Now trying to fly in Florida and Northeast. I would bet that their pilot group will be writing these planes up on maintenance issues to ground them. The snowball effect will be cxl'd flights, poor service, and an over-extended company based on operations. Just a guess. Also, apparently many pilots are leaving to other airlines because they are fed up with the "status-quo": Frontier, Skywest, Horizon, etc. That's all I know.
