Chautaqua to lose Continental flying?????

As I remember, Regions got the axe pretty quick... (no offense to any of their pilots) It's not impossible.

Not really a fair comparison. Regions was doing "new" EAS service to cities that used to be flown by mesa into PIT. After US Air took such a hit there the EAS was rebid to feed to a different city. CLE was the next closest hub so it was a natural choice. It sounded like a good deal for CAL. The government paid you to bring extra people into your market. The problem was regions had 30% completion factor and 13% on time completion factor the first month. So CAL just got into and out of a market it didn't really want or need. CHQ's flying is a market they want and need, maybe not the carrier anymore, but defiantly not the same circumstances as Regions Air.

Really? Does that include the guy that called scheduling and quit while sitting in the cockpit and then walked off? Come on, 3 MX cancelations? We've run more extra segments to cover your canceled flights than that. You're being sold magic beans from his holeyness.

Superpilot, I realize that the month in not over, but those number reflect a change. They are much better then the average at this point of month then in month previous. Pickle, so we are clear, GS gave those number out in class the other day. 3 cancelations for the the month thus far, and he said, we have not cover ANY segments for them this month. Only thing we are doing is changing longer routes with them now. NO EXTRA FLYING this month so far.
