Can't say I expected this.

Go figure. Hopefully they can make some money on it.

OK, I laughed out loud when I saw your thread title, knope.

Why are they starting THIS...NOW?

Is there really a hope of a profit? Are the subsidies from the Branson attractions amounting to all that much?

I don't know the structure of subisidy at Branson, but it must be enough to make it pay...even with an RJ.

In any case, I'm glad it brought a chuckle!

"Hi, we just mentioned in our conference call that the RJ routes were killing us in MKE but maybe this one won't be since there are subsidies involved."
Wow, interesting move.

Just another EAS route thats not called an EAS route but they are still guaranteed revenue to minimize their loss.
