United has decided to terminate the DHC-8s (10) out of DEN by April 2010. Who knows yet what will happen to the 200 flying on the UA side.
Plus it's still in the air who will take over the UA flying out of DEN to cover the DHC-8 flying.
 
ASA, no doubt.
 
Skywest will fly Q400's to replace the Mesa Dash 8's. (Just my thoughts).
 
Will ASA get this flying? I heard that they started giving out DHC8 hats and pins around the cafeteria. When will it happen? Discuss.

In the nationwide race to pull down capacity you think UAL will want to up gauge these markets? I would bet these markets just get less frequency on larger aircraft or get eliminated all together. Considering how bad UAL is failing in the marketplace you can bet that they don't just continue the status quo. They are failing because of the way they do it now. Look for a change in market strategy.

In due time SkyWest will. Why else would Chip retract his wording on the initial SkyWestonline UAL loan announcement where he references the flying of large turboprops. Appropriately he had to wait until after this announcement to make the rumors even more rumorable. (rumor able) hahaha
 
SkyWest already has started the turboprop return to DEN... Two lines of EMB's into DEN started on OCT 25th.

True they are going to GCC and RKS. Loads have been very light to those places. Not sure where else the EMB-120s could go since they take significant weight hits in the summer. It definately won't be ASE or EGE.

On another note, the CRJ 700 can go anywhere the DHC-8 can except EGE for now. Single enginge performance out of EGE will be the determining factor.

Too logical, you should know better.
 
people skywest will not be replacing anything right now don't get your hopes up. the flying will be over in April1st. That is 5 months away. but no doubt the 80 million bribed to United Cheapest Bidder/Payforairplanes Airlines by Skywest will help though, just 5 more months on reserve you can wait.

Neither will Blow-My-Hoe-Jet. Do you really think you have any right to dictate what any other airline does?????

Worry about putting your wings on when your in a hotel van with other crewmembers.

You forgot to add quality and reliable service along with consistant performance numbers to go along with those cheap bids.

SkyWest is in the process of hiring station personel in EGE. The bid was on the company web possibly in the local paper as well. Flight standards and training dept pilots have flown it in the sim so it it moving forward.

But is that in preparation for UAX service out of DEN, or DelCon out of SLC?

Must be a $hitty life to be so jealous of others.
 
Air Wisconsin will give large cash loan to United. AWAC will buy Lynx from Republic. Lynx will serve UAX to the mountain cities out of DEN just like AWAC did with MAX years ago. AWAC will then have CRJ 1000s based in DEN and more 200 flying in DEN and ORD.

You heard it here first!

EGE finished rwy construction, so CRJ7 training should commence soon. Very soon.

That's cool. The extra 1000ft of rwy will help on the take offs. You lose 1000ft on landings on 25 though due to the displaced threshold. Plus landing on rwy 7 probably won't be an option unless your cat-B and no one ueses 7 at night. On the plus side, with favorable winds, EGE will be a hell of alot easier to land at night vs ASE. I go to ASE all the time, and have no desire to do it at night.
