No it’s not. It’s only a matter of time until we see it open. I think in the fall of this year. But it’s not official until TG sends the email.

Right now we are doing about 4-6 departures a day out of DFW, but ASA is going 23+ a day. It will come down to how ASA staffs the flying and if it even makes sense financially to just have a fleet of 20 CRJ700s. Time will tell.

EAS routes on a 700? I doubt it and there is very little eas out of dfw or dal.

Correct, there is absolutely no two class EAS or at risk stuff going on anywhere.

Who said anything about it being on a 700? We’re pulling several 200s off contract in ORD. Some have homes with United. I don’t think all of them are accounted for. It’s not impossible to think there’s some routes down there they could after. MEI and PIB is on the deuce. There’s several EAS routes currently being served by other operators (I used to work for one of them out of DFW back in the day).
