Looking a week out from this deadline, a roundtrip ticket from Anchorage to Bethel on Ravn costs $366. Traveling on the same days from Anchorage to Dillingham on PenAir would cost a person $600."
------------------------------------------------------------
Anchorage to Bethel (346NM) roundtrip - $366 direct on Ravn
Anchorage to Dillingham (286NM) roundtrip - $600 AKN-DLG triangle on PenAir
"Seybert also said he welcomed any competition that wanted to enter this market." Seriously?

UPDATE: EAS Ransom Demand Failed
Rumor on the street is that DS has removed his request for additional EAS subsidies, despite notifying the Department of Transportation that PenAir will cease all unsubsidized routes to St. Paul, St. George, and McGrath on November 12, 2017.
It seems that other operators were willing to compete with PenAir if the DoT added them to EAS. Is PenAir ceasing service to St. Paul, St. George, and McGrath after November 12, 2017? Ummmm, NOPE.

Presque Isle and Plattsburgh are also very stable economies, so stable that their chambers of commerce see jets in their future! Maybe a good reason all that money was dumped into airport/runway/taxiway renovation during the timelapse of this last contract..
