maybe theres hope, if the lessor can't find anyone to pay their insane fee (i heard $30K per month) maybe they will bend a little and bring the cost down.
funny, i also heard that now they are paying us a storage fee, ha!

We didn't "pick up" flying. Airways loads were up for the summer (above what they forecasted atleast) so they added additional flying. From the looks of it, it seems that all the regionals are getting more block hours for the summer months.
As for us here at good ole' Piedmont we have some aircraft lines scheduled to block around 14 cycles a day. Its going to make for an interesting summer considering that, and we have no spares. Help us if one breaks down.....
