Serving TYR DFW now?

I thought we were pulling out of Tyler. Good to see the company working to capitalize on opportunities to keep airplanes flying.

Theyre not capitalizing... they have no desire to go there... the DOT is making them go there

I was just about to ask. These sound like CARES Act routes.

They are the “milk run routes” built by the company to satisfy the DOT’s continuation of service requirements (under the CARES act). They fly the 3 looped cities in one direction. Another example is the previously non-stop service to Denver from Madison and Milwaukee. Now it’s a DEN-MKE-MSN-DEN-MKE-MSN loop.

I’ve only seen 3 cities per loop so far but I wouldn’t be shocked to see 4 cities in one loop.
