Colgan HYA Summer Base

[B1900 Mech]

Give up the 1900's? Don't think so, To much free money from the taxpayers for EAS routes.

I agree all the 1900's will not go away...but they are considering the ones that do not need the 1900 on them....IE EAS at PQI is a SAAB....JST was a SAAB...but of course Colgan could not make money there even with the $850,000 from the Government...good luck to regions there....I believe HYA based aircraft go to airports that can use a SAAB as far as the airport requirerments...IE part 139 Airports...also heard that LEB is considering improvements to allow a SAAB in.....Just rumors of course.....

Consider this official: HYA will become a 'permanent' Saab base next month (1 plane). No cushy TDY for the summer in HYA this year. Bummer!

This is classic Colgan. HYA will be a permanent base until it closes September 1st. It's just an excuse not to pay for TDY. I've seen it happen again and again.
