Chap in engineering reckons Boss Lakes been to the boxing day sales, 2 embraers are in the pipeline, for a vey specific contract.
They cost more to run, but if thats what the customer wants, and is willing to pay then no problem.

The business has to prioritise its spending.
Scrap thunderbird spacerockets (floodlit), porsche runabouts, vintage car racing team, replacement hats etc etc are all higher priority. This months deicer bill will probably require a whip round.

Eastern's scheduled flights cater very much to business people, very few of whom travel domestically on Saturdays. Eastern's aircraft do fly at weekends, but mostly on sports charters and the like.

Eastern is predominantly aimed at the business market commuting for days 1-5. High prices for thin routes/small aircraft.
Given the routes flown and aircraft type they probably feel it is not worth the extra crew needed to operate much on the weekend for limited leisure market.

emb
Any more news on the EMB135's, are they still coming?
Are they just for charter work or for a certain contract, also are Eastern going to crew these internally. I cannot imagine there are many emb pilots around who are not currently working.
