Yeah, it was my understanding the FAA made it clear to PEX that the only way the Ryan certificate could be resurrected was to use the aircraft that were currently on the certificate, B767's or A330's. Adding the B737 was not in the cards for initial resumption of service, and of course neither of those aircraft fit the PEX business model.
I didn't think planes went off ones certificate. I'm sure you know Ryan has flown DC9&10, B727/737/757/767, A320/330.

If you don't fly said planes, they usually do come off the certificate. It's about resource management. If they don't intend to keep them, then the FAA can't allocate the resources to manage them, how they do this is by taking them off the certificate. If they want to put something back on a certificate, or put something on there that is new, once again the FAA has to come up with the resources to manage it, manpower.

As James said, if you aren't flying a certain type, resources are not usually spent, both within the company and the FAA, to maintain the type. If they aren't maintained, they come out of the Ops Specs. It's all irrelevant anyway, PEX didn't acquire the Ryan certificate. Rumor has it the FAA closed the Ryan certificate in the last few weeks. Rather unfortunate, not many certificates had as many authorizations and types flown throughout the years.

There is a thread on the JC "jobs available-member's only" section for Vision FOs, specifically to staff this People's Express op. Apparently Vision staffed up by a couple classes recently to fly these routes, or at least that's what folks in that thread are saying.
