If privately owned, in order to receive State/Federal funding the airport must be open to public use. There are standards that must be met (obstacle clearance, etc) in order to qualify for gov't funding as well.
If the locality and the state kick in 5% each, the Feds will pay the remaining 90%...
Who is John Galt?
Piedmont DHC-8,
When you can correctly answer the question posed above-and there is a correct answer- you will perhaps have a better understanding of the origin of the position in which the U-WO's find themselves.
Perhaps not.
If it ain't in writing, it aint.
All this speculation is not worth flatulence in a tropical cyclonic disturbance. Everyone is getting all worked up and nobody yet, despite protestations to the contrary, has provided anything other than internet rumor and "I know something you don't know"...
CHQ Pilots Blamed For Northeast Blackout
(Wire reports) New York City- Millions of people across the Northeastern part of the United States and in some cases parts of Canada were without power as of early this morning due to a huge power outage. Early reports indicated that a lightning bolt...
On BOS Center freq:
"Ladies and gentlemen, from the flight deck, we've leveled off at blah blah, just crossing over blah blah with 430 miles left to go blah blah blah, seat belt sign is off, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah..."

You will like this airplane. Lots of fun to fly.
Let's see if I can make this work:
Everyone hold your left hand out; fingers together, palm down. Place your right hand about 6 inches below your left; again with fingers together and palm down. Now repeatedly slap the palm of your left hand...
Caveat
Open seats in the back are unlimited. However, the cockpit jumpseat can't be used unless it is the like code share ( e.g Delta guys can ride in front on Delta flights but not U or AX, U on U flights but not DL or AX, etc.) Offline is restricted to seats in back also.
If a problem occurs after V1 which renders the airplane unairworthy, you are just screwed. The Concorde is an example of that. They were well beyond V1 when the situation went south. If they had tried to abort, it is likely the result would have been the same, just at the end of a long set of...
There are efforts underway as I type to bring you all back. We look after our own here, and you guys are CHQ.
This is nothing more than a tactical move on the part of the company in an attempt to apply pressure. This is both bad and good. Bad that you are direct casualties, but good in that the...
The high points
Exerpts from Bedford's 7/10 letter to all CHQ employees:
1) Mesa continues to chalk up impressive new deals with UAL and US Airways and now Trans States is getting in with a new agreement with UAL.
2) ...we were within days of signing an MOU with UAL for this very aircraft...
Next round scheduled for late July. Strike will occur 30 days after release by NMB.
Count on the Town Crier, Brother Francis for up to the minute, blatantly biased updates on the CHQ/Republic goat rope.
