My friend who works there has heard everything....

Pick A Rumor:

1. 2 SAABS just like last year
2. 1 SAAB
3. 1 SAAB- open as a base so no hotel or per-diem.
4. No SAAB remain a Beach base. Other cities will do the trips IE: PVD MHT PQI.

I heard they made no money there last year due to the expensive hotels for the 10-15 crew they put out there all summer......

ASK the CP in the Conference Call Thursday!

Putting your crews in hotels puts you in the red? Sad.

 

[IslandDriver]

Sure is but that is the way they say it is..........

Isn't a roundtrip from LGA to Martha's Vineyard (MVY) like $700 or $800? That's gotta cover some overhead somewhere.

But 4 real, I have not heard of anything as of yet.

Well in my boredom I did some research. I went on USAIR.com and looked for flights on May 30, 2006.

ACK-LGA 06:45 AM SAAB
MVY-LGA earliest flight 11:30AM on a SAAB the rest all Cape Air connecting through PVD, HYA or BOS.

Sounds like one SAAB on the islands for originators.

That is what I could come up with at least.

Good luck to all you who want to party on the cape all summer!
