There is no reasonable explanation as to why any of the lakers stayed there. It's pretty bad when at worst they could have left for Mesa or Gojet and it would have been a step up. I get the folks that did not have 121 minimums, but everyone else.

I know this this from way back in the thread, but just for clarification, I'm not sure if there are even any EAS routes in Alaska. Places that really need service tend to get it since residents are forced to pay market price (and airlines are loath to accept EAS and in exchange have pricing regulated in that case).

I think that's why they shut down...

Aren’t those planes like way past their service life?

Looked into it now.

I didn't see a list within the past year but it was funny seeing hub communities that have multiple airlines flying into them listed as EAS. Apparently they can classify for a size aircraft so the multiple airlines "don't count."

What a farce.
