Well as we saw with Fly I, no way can an airline using RJs make it. RJ's are very expensive to fly and with no connecting service this isn't going to work.
Yeah, but these are ERJ's. Not sure that will make a difference though. But I hope they last--we need them at YOW to provide competition. Plus, I like the look of them.Quote:

For example, a release saying "ExpressJet Launches Service Under Its Own Brand At KCI" is a lot more likely to be noticed and picked up by the Kansas City Star than "ExpressJet Launches Service Under Its Own Brand In 24 Cities." Writing out each city rather than just the airport codes would have helped more.Quote:

Sounds like they are starting non-stop service from COS to 3 California cities... Made the news here tonight, and has a good shot of actually being pretty successful, if fares can stay competitive with those out of DEN.
