They did the same thing with 2 Cities that Penn Air won and with the city's recommendation and everything the DOT decided to give Southern Air the route.

Yeah the thing is Page Arizona's EAS is about to come up for bid in the next month and there city council report to the DOT said they don't want to have anything to do with Great Lakes Airlines. The only other airlines to bid that route were Boutique and Via airlines because Skywest can't fly into page due to not enough RSA at the end of the runway and terminal capacity. Page City of Commerce said they don't want Via as they are not established and they don't want Boutiques PC-12 they only want the King Air so we might get that one by default but that won't be a Dallas King Air route because we bid for service to city's to DEN, LAX, and PHX so idk when or if King Air is really going to be going to Dallas
