It has to do with a little something called: Trust.

I just feel that lakes and future lakers got burned because the government decieded to fund some @#$%@#$^@#$ start up that is risking airline security. The locals wanted the 19+ passenger airliners and the government gave them a half ass 9 seat operation

Go figure

I've been in a PC-12 with 9 seats, I've been in a 1900.....I'll take the first one! How much government support was there? 200k? Well, how much were those EAS contracts worth? I think that article mentioned Millions?

Hopefully this 9 seat thing will work out. It will make flying to small cities way more affordable. It will also allow the money for the EAS contracts to be put to better use. Some of the routes I can see, but I don't call Air Service Essential if you can drive to a major hub airport in less than 2 hours. Thats just me though.

No offense Sleddriver....I just think it's a funny quote.
