I have to disagree, I think loosing BOS, while unfortunate, might be advantageous. It gives Penair® the chance to rediscover it's Alaskan roots, and hone it's competitive edge with local competition from RAVN. In fact, I'd expect an announcement very shortly about comprehensive plans to take the company into the future!!!

Competition?

lol.

That's the problem. They never learned to COMPETE.

Danny never saw a govt contract he didn't love.

While still maintaining two fleet types at such a small carrier?
That’s a reorganization plan for failure and why many left when they saw Danny was refusing to give up the Saab2000’s.
Few & very expensive parts
Additional training costs
Additional parts inventories
It also Separates your pilot group so you’re unable to cover each others vacations or sick. Massive decrease in utility and efficiency.
Good luck, but until Danny’s hubris stops running the company and focuses on returning to profitability and ditching the 2000’s, you guys are doomed.

Look, his restructuring plan focused on CASM as justification for the 2000’s. His reorganization plan could have been written to justify an Airbus A380 since it has a lower CASM than the 2000....

There’s an old saying....
never seen an airline go out of business flying too small a plane that was always full.....
Danny is proving it’s still true today by keeping the 2000’s.

Is there any potential for a PenAir/Ravn merger? I'm not familiar enough with either company to know who would be the buyer, but there seems to be some potential for a single company to thrive (survive?) but maybe not enough meat on the bone in Alaska for competitive companies to both make it.

Penair has very little in the way of real assets, and the planes they do own (not sure, but I think it was less than a third of the fleet) are tired MX hogs and don’t match RAVN’s fleet. I don’t see the advantage of purchasing when they could just let nature takes its course and pick up the routes and pilots post mortem.

I heard BOS is closing. True, and if so, when?

Sounds like when Skywest is ready to take over the routes.
