Re: Skywest cutting 29 more markets

I see a lot of negativity around the EAS program here that doesn't seem warranted. The EAS program is not about making a profit, it's public transportation.

Re: Skywest cutting 29 more markets

I can easily see Skywest being forced to continue services.

How do you force an airline to continue service when they don’t have the...
