I'm afraid the message didn't go through...don't know why. :confused:

Quoted from TribDem.com
 

The U.S. Department of Transportation has approved Silver’s proposal to take over the subsidized service being handed off by Colgan Air, Senator Bob Casey announced today.

The Fort Lauderdale, Fla., airline is asking for $3,997,187 a year in federal funds to operate 18 flights a week between Johnstown-Altoona and Dulles International Airport near Washington. It includes three flights each weekday, one on Saturday and two on Sunday.

Any word on when it will start? We better get some more Saabs on property soon, or else this is going to be a nightmare....

The news article said more details will be published Friday.

Hopefully the delayed aircraft won't be too much of a problem:

Also this might still stop all progress:

Now we wait to see if the other bids go through.

Did anyone ever hear what the mins. are now? I have heard 750TT a few times but their website still has 250TT. Also what if any are the multi requirements? It was never listed since they started hiring. Just curious.

Ok I just know now that Silver have a new CP and rumors are that after next Monday when next ground beggings they will stop hiring for the summer. So now what? Fly Banners? CFI? Buy a plane? Or play the lottery!

Or how about taking a grammar course :D J/k

Apparently the Atlanta flying may become more tangible very soon. I know it doesn't mean much without a DOT approval, but still...

I little birdie told me that Delta would talk code-share with Silver once they had Saabs in operation (which I still don't believe considering Deltas push for jets)... maybe this is the start of something?

I'm also doing that right now. Lol
