Shuttle America?

[Light Years]

I''m wondering what the future is for jet-less contract carriers like Shuttle America and Colgan Air... the leases on Shuttle America''s SAABS are up at the end of the year, with no plans for future aircraft at this time. Will they be phased out of the system or shut down completely? How about Colgan? Also does anyone know if Trans States still operates J41s for US, or only ERJs?

Trans States still operates J41s for US--I believe in city pairs like BWIGSO and BWIRIC..not much more.

There will always be a market for the turboprops, in areas such as smaller caribbean islands, new england islands, and several small cities which have enough traffic to support a 1900, but not an RJ (or perhaps also insufficient airport capacity to handle anything much larger than a 1900).
