no but a smaller VA will have to do more with less & the regional routes will suffer. Alliance have already done quite a few of VAs thin routes.

Fokker 70/100s could be used Fri & Sun pm, not with 30 min turns, but maybe til late.

VFR traffic will fly late. Tourists both domestic & international want to fly to places like CNS.

Less supply means higher fares which tourism industry doesn't need. They need as much supply as possible.

If I remember correctly during pilots dispute, Keith Williams chartered Lloyd aviations F28 so HTI wasn't left with no flights. Not sure how many flights the F28 did a week into HTI.
