For the Piedmont guys
Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about the SYR flying? Old news Colgan is supposed to be pulling out of there. Does anyone think there is a chance of them reopening SYR as a Crew Base? It seems we are heavy on reserves right now and I am sure a lot of people would like to go back to SYR.
Or maybe because it makes sense and it might hurt managements pride if the reopened it, for that reason I think it will stay closed, but I don’t know.

I think the later part of your statement is true. Give it some time. There is no way Farrow is going to pay for that many hotel rooms after a few months. He will do what he always does; pass the cost it on to the employee. He just wants to keep it closed right now to prove his point that he doesn’t need it to be a base.

There are three RON aircraft on a Saturday evening in September. It is a result of parking the aircraft because of flights that were canceled by marketing. We don't anticipate SYR returning as a domicile at this juncture.
Michael Scrobola - Vice President-Flight Operations
In addition to Michael's response above, if we have a sked with 3 RON's in SYR and it looks like it will stay that way for some time, we will very seriously consider reopening a SYR domicile. Our previous decisions to close, reopen and then close SYR were good business decisions based on the sked we had at the time and if it is a good business and people decision to reopen again we'll do that, no matter how it looks.
