Havre to Billings ... 75 minutes
Saranac Lake to Boston ... 100 minutes
St. Louis to Owensboro ... 69 minutes
Sidney to Billings ... 96 minutes
I'd would hate to build a business model strictly on EAS routes should congress decide to start whittling them away. Granted CAPE AIR has survived under the model, will the model exists in a couple of years ?

From my seat, nothing beats those PT6 engines in this class of aircraft

Many routes are much shorter, and many routes are non eas. Turbine engines cost far more to operate especially on shorter routes, as much of maintenance is driven by cycles not hours... Cape exists in part by being able to be cheaper than turbine operations. There are plenty of turbine competitors already.
