X9 are the lead story in Hicksville paper this morning.
Claiming the IAH route is still on (but it doesn't say when it will start - I would suggest it WON'T be Jan).
Also that the AES/SVG route dropped/suspended in the meantime, putting it down to the incident with the steps hitting one of the a/c, putting it out of commission (6mths - must have been a heck of a prang).
Say they tried every which way to avoid axing AES & making redundancies, but unavoidable.
They apparently contemplated bringing in another aircraft, but decided against compromising quality.
