Not to insight a riot here as I know the PinnaColAba body is still warm but it's been widely reported that Pinnacle has asked the DOT for an accelerated departure from the EAS flying which is now served by the SF340 (I.E. IAH and IAD).......Is the IAH saab flying currently done by 9E 100% EAS or are there some revenue routes?
If what there saying is true that all SF340 will be gone by the end of may than I have no idea who would be able to pick up this flying, at the moment we have 4 saabs and very long way to go before this place is a functioning saab airline, in terms of operations and especially training. Would CAL/United ever allow the 1900 out of IAH/IAD as an interum while the saab's are brought on line?

The EAS routes, wherever they are, will be flown by someone the DOT requires it and someone somewhere will pick up the flying. What my concern is the SF340 flying currently done at least at IAH make's absolute no since without EAS funding. I.E. 5 flights a day to Beaumont which is 1.5hr drive? I actually think that these routes (IAH-BPT,LCH, ACT ect....) would make more since for the 1900 than the Saab since these things are empty 90% of the time.
