Let me guess...MIA-PHX and STL-RSW will be mainline; IAD-SJU international; everything else AE.

Yes, although IAD-SJU is a domestic route. Not sure if international crews run it.

Also MQ will takeover MIA-SAV from OW.

I take it that 757's will do the IAD-SJU run?

Yes, although IAD-SJU is a domestic route. Not sure if international crews run it.

Just like Hawaii, anything over water is done by the International crews.

Our base management is telling us a 2nd DFW-OGG is coming for winter/spring.

American Eagle Airlines, new nonstop service between Miami and Harbour Island (ELH); Treasure Cay, Abaco (TCB); and Governors Harbour (GHB) in the Bahamas, beginning Nov. 19. American Eagle also announced additional service from Miami Marsh Harbour (MHH) and resuming seasonal daily nonstop service to Exuma, Bahamas (GGT).

Aren't all of those routes previously flown in the J31 days of the MIA hub?...

I don't believe Eagle ever flew to Treasure Cay or North Eluethera. They did once fly to Rock Sound.

Governor's Harbor was flown until late 2000 with an ATR. A hurricane essentially destroyed the island's infrastructure and tourism to the island became near non-existent. It started picking up again around 2005.

A few more MIA routes are possibly being finalized. Lot's of rumors about Gainesville and Greer.

Executive operated nonstop MIA-TCB and MIA-MHH-TCB between from 1990 to 1995.

Don't see anything in the archives to ELH, so that's new. The rest are all retreads.
