Glendive to Billings ... 80 minutes

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 ?
