There's a board meeting monday so I'm thinking something might be announced. This is the first I've heard of EMB 120 gone by May though. That might be a little farfetched.. I'm sure they'll be announcing their plans for getting rid of it though. TG hasn't exactly been secretive about the fact that it's on its way out when people have asked him questions about it.

I've heard just about every variation on the Bro going away rumor.. sure would be nice to hear some official word from the company!

Also lots of rumor that we are unofficially seat locked already. Hope the retirement is swift.

FWIW, I moved up 40 spots in the last month (beginning of each bid period).

News articles have been popping up from a lot of the Brasilia EAS cities stating that they're either asking for more money or have been approved for more money from the government so Skywest can operate jet service next year. I think that's a pretty telling sign that it's on the way out. During appreciation week TG was telling people that they're on a 2 year plan to get rid of them. He wasn't being that secretive about the fact that they're going away. It would definitely be nice for them to give us a time frame and information on seat locks though.
