Unhappy Colgan PVD Base

Hey All, First time poster here.
Does anybody have news on what is happening with PVD or the northeast bases in general? I've been at colgan for about six months and have been trying to get back to MHT. I just heard through the grapevine that PVD, one of the most senior bases is closing. Anybody able to verify this, and what does the mean for the rest of the bases? How about the chances of a relatively junior FO getting MHT now?

I heard ABE closed as well, any truth to that?

Before Independence Air went out of business I heard from several people that Colgan was going to buy Independence. People are stupid.

I don't know what bases are closing soon, but plan on outstation bases slowely erroding into hub and spoke. It's a part of Pinnacle's plan for us. Colgan on the East Coast is going to look completely different a year from now.

I think PVD is going to be a Beech base until the spring, and then we'll see if it becomes a Saab base again. I could be wrong. I feel bad for those guys who live there.

Seems odd they would do that since it is already a Saab 340 base. Where is the 1900 coming from?

PVD is losing Saab lines and they are putting a beech on it because the loads aren't there. They are not closing the base yet. Not sure what the Saab guys are going to do in PVD. I don't think a beech is going to based there it will be picked up from another base. Also I don't think the Saab is completely gone but they just reduced the amount of lines. Could be wrong on that last part though.
