No one would be upset if:

Skybus was not growing
Virgin America was not growing
Mesa was not growing
Gojet was not growing

So why would you be upset when Lynx is not growing?

I would rather see a quality regional get their flying. That is definately not Lynx.

I'm pretty sure you don't know the first thing about Lynx. How can you judge quality on something that has been flying for less than 2 months. While there has been some huge miscalculations in budgeting and planning, I truly believe that most of the Lynx management acts in the good faith towards its employees. They seem to be aware that the works rules and pay rates are unacceptable. They don't seem interested in watching a large number of their pilots (who were trained on entitlements from Bombardier) walk out the door. They know unhappy people will cost them big $$ in the long run. Well at least I hope they know.

Just to note, everyone I've talked to hasn't heard a thing about this, so I'm going to save my jugement until I heard something official. Nunn was quoted in the paper saying they would decide in the next few months whether they want the options and I'd go with that.

I hope I'm wrong. I hope they change their minds. Anyone else interview on Friday and hear a similar story. I heard there were a number of Big Sky pilots in the interview. Anyone? Anyone?

In additional news there will be some upgrades soon. How many? I don't know. Apparently Lynx is short on the captain list.

XJT was only there to cover the flying Lynx was going to miss due to certification delays. Once they had their certificate there was no need for XJT.

Yes, I know. I misread the original post as Lynx was delaying aircraft deliveries not options.

COS, maybe.

ASE and EGE, I don't think so.

Not saying the Q can't perform but I don't believe it can hack ASE.

That and those markets are already saturated.

UAL is running A-319's into EGE 4 times a day, supplemented by Dash-8-200's.

ASE is non stop CR7's. Literally. There is one every hour, both ways.

Aspen has been begging for someone besides United to come in there. They are giving Lynx/Frontier subsidies for bringing in new service. United used to send the Dash-200 there and the 400 out performs that airplane by leaps and bounds.

When is shasta going to fly to KASE, KEGE, KGUC, etc.? Seems like they could do well in those markets. Any word?
:rolleyes:

Gee, if you work at ASA or Eagle, then I'm pretty sure you'd think the same about RAH and TSA. Let's stop the "my regional is better than yours" bs. All regionals blow. I personally would rather see mainline get all the flying. More better jobs for everyone...
