So…Massey, are you confirming the Airbus rumors?  I asked at work and no one seemed to have heard such a thing.  But then again, maybe it's something that they "ought not to say?"  And our impression is that Colgan is going away at the end of this month…is this not so either?
I dread to think of what else we may not be getting told!??

A lot of 319's are in the spring CLE schedule to various cities; whether they're placeholders as guy44137 suggested, I don't know. If the CLE 737 pilot base gets further reduced, it kind of makes sense. Would they be placeholders for A320s? Maybe.

The point of my post was that UA keeps chipping away at CLE feeder routes, although this time the cuts are not disproportionate to simultaneous cuts at the other hubs.                                                                      

Colgan, as a entity, is supposed to disappear along with their Saabs on December 3, I believe. The Q400s will migrate to Pinnacle (Mesaba?). I don't know what will happen to the Saabs if Delta is held in at some of the EAS points they want to drop. In similar circumstances, DOT ordered Air Midwest to keep flying but Mesa (owner of Air MW) shut them down anyway and left the govt twiddling their thumbs.
