That's only BOS-BGR. We also used to go to Fredrickton and Trenton.

i asume that whomever gets most of the flying will be doing it in turbo props, COMAIR always did BGR-BOS up until Big Sky did it, but that s a good sized market, however I cannot not see anyone running a regional jet for BOS up to Massena (MSS) and Ogdensburg (OGS) NY....so if the props are gonna do it , then I assume it must be Colgan who s gonna get that flying....good for COMAIR though for getting some of that flying back.

Lets see, Delta is shedding DCI carriers and block hours but they're going to pick up another carrier?

Sounds like the guy that started this thread has some wishful thinking.

Didn't they just open a base in CVG? Who will run CVG-OWB?

My guess is Delta will let all of the EAS routes go. They wanted to cut hours anyway. Maybe a few (ALB, BTV) will get picked up like Bangor.

colgan doesnt have the planes, crews, or need to pick up the delta flying. We don't have a single spare airframe right now.

Colgan is definately hiring but primarily for the q 400.

They are also hiring for the saab because they are making saab capts Q capts and upgrading every fo they can to fill the voids. Of course there is also plain old attrition.
