Report from the Chairman<br />
As the post 9-11 transformation of the airline industry continues, America’s<br />
regional airlines have prospered by continuing to create value for their<br />
customers—both major airline partners and individual passengers—through safe,<br />
efficient and reliable operations which connect virtually every community in North<br />
America to each other and to the world. Working together with our employees<br />
and suppliers, we’ve been able to enhance our offerings during this season of<br />
change in the industry, providing more service and greater price competition to<br />
cities large and small throughout North America.<br />
The <strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Airline</strong> <strong>Association</strong> plays a strategic role in the industry’s success by<br />
supporting our 43 member airlines, which now transport one out of every five domestic passengers. The organization is a critical<br />
force in shaping regulatory and legislative issues that affect our operations throughout the United States and increasingly in international<br />
markets. As the collective voice of the regional airlines, RAA continues its work with the federal agencies and on the Hill<br />
in safety, regulatory and technology issues and the preservation of air service to small and midsize communities that otherwise<br />
would not have access to the national air transportation system.<br />
Over the next 18 months, we will be called on to speak to many issues and policy matters that will have major bearing on our<br />
future as an industry. Of them, the reauthorization of the FAA Airport and Airways Trust Fund is undoubtedly the most significant<br />
and arguably among the most complex to resolve. That said, there is no question that, along with ensuring adequate funding,<br />
any new approach must provide a means for FAA and DOT to increase airport capacity and modernize the air traffic control<br />
systems in order to support forecasted growth in passenger demand, a growing percentage of which will be served by regional<br />
airlines.<br />
I encourage every industry leader, whether airline or supplier, to follow these developments closely and to respond to RAA’s<br />
request for support if called upon to reinforce an industry view to your elected representatives.<br />
I would be remiss if I did not recognize and thank the Associate Member Council (AMC) for their continued partnership to<br />
achieve the industry’s objectives. The AMC has worked hard to build support from our supplier partners and this year achieved<br />
some important milestones with the first awards of the RAA scholarship and seminars focused on best practices. I want to thank<br />
AMC Chairman Steve Alexandris for his efforts to forward this group’s goals in the interest of our more than 240 associate<br />
members.<br />
It has been an honor to serve as the 2006 RAA Chairman, and I greatly appreciate the work of the RAA Board and our talented<br />
staff in Washington, DC. My thanks also to the airline and associate members who have offered assistance in support of our work<br />
with Congress, the regulatory agencies, the media and the traveling public as we seek to educate them about the important, vital<br />
role the regional airlines play in our nations’ air transportation system, in the economy and in the well being of the communities<br />
we serve.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Jeff Pinneo<br />

2005 YEAR AT A GLANCE<br />

Year at a Glance<br />
<strong>Regional</strong> carriers have preserved their reputation as “the low<br />
cost producers” of commercial aviation. While regional<br />
airlines operate one third of the US commercial airline fleet<br />
and account for nearly 40 percent of all scheduled flights, the<br />
pressures on the industry to maintain or reduce costs<br />
continues. The various hurdles the regionals face in doing so<br />
continue to grow larger. It is a fact of life that regional<br />
airlines are directly affected by the fortunes of their major<br />
partners and the year 2005 was certainly no exception, as<br />
carriers responded to both the challenges and emerging<br />
opportunities associated with industry wide change.<br />
On any given day there are nearly 15,000 regional airline<br />
flights in the United States, with regional jet service<br />
accounting for an increasing share of industry operations.<br />
Nearly 151 million passengers were transported by regionals<br />
in 2005, with one in five domestic airline passengers now<br />
traveling on a regional carrier. While the number of passengers<br />
transported by regional airlines continue to grow, the<br />
number of airlines has declined about 20 percent over the<br />
last four years.<br />
RAA estimates that the industry employs 58,000 professionals,<br />
each working hard every day to ensure the safety and<br />
security of the passengers. Due to the great work of the<br />
industry’s employees, regional airlines posted an excellent<br />
safety record in 2005, with accidents per 100,000 departures<br />
dropping to a four-year low.<br />
While regional carriers continue their strong growth in 2006,<br />
the bad news is rising fuel jet fuel prices, with the price of oil<br />
up 24 percent in 2005 is expected to remain at high levels.<br />
The increases in fuel costs have eliminated much of the cost<br />
savings both regional and major airlines have been able to<br />
achieve over the last two years.<br />
The statistics in Year at a Glance provide evidence of the<br />
industry’s success and its critical contribution to the national<br />
air transportation system. <strong>Regional</strong> airline enplanements<br />
increased by 11.4 percent to 150.8 million passengers in<br />
2005, an impressive feat given the challenges facing the<br />
industry. <strong>Regional</strong> airline revenue passenger miles (RPM)<br />
soared 16.6 percent to 65.52 billion, compared to 56.21<br />
billion in 2004. <strong>Regional</strong> jets accounted for 88.4 percent of<br />
the RPMs as compared to 80.8 percent in the previous year.<br />
RAA 2006 Annual Report<br />
Average load factors increased by 2.4 points to 70.43<br />
percent, the highest levels since the introduction of the<br />
regional jets in 1993.<br />
Code sharing continues to be the cornerstone of regional<br />
airline operations. As of May 2006, 32 of the nation’s top 50<br />
regional air carriers used the two-letter designator code of a<br />
major or national airline to list their flights. In total, there<br />
were 59 code-sharing agreements in existence as of May<br />
2006. These relationships vary from outright ownership by<br />
the major/national carrier (8 airlines), to partial ownership by<br />
the major airline (3 carriers), to pure marketing alliances<br />
devoid of any ownership by the major airlines (48 carriers).<br />
In 2005 96 percent of the industry's passengers were transported<br />
under code-sharing agreements.<br />
<strong>Regional</strong> airline operations constitute an increasingly important<br />
proportion of the operations in the US national airspace<br />
system, serving 750 North American airports in 2005, up 2.0<br />
percent from 2004. <strong>Regional</strong> airlines, while known for<br />
providing links from smaller cities, have become significant<br />
stakeholders at the major airports, accounting for an average<br />
of 45 – 77 percent of operations at the three busiest airports<br />
in the US (Chicago O’Hare, Atlanta and Houston Intercontinental).<br />
In 2005, regional airlines began to experience a shrinking of<br />
the RJ fleet with 5 percent less jets as compared to 2004,<br />
while turboprop aircraft declined by 8.0 percent of the fleet.<br />
By 2005, there were 2,676 aircraft in scheduled service with<br />
regional carriers, a decrease of 2.9 percent. Available seat<br />
miles (ASMs) increased 12.6 percent to 93.04 billion in 2005<br />
from 82.61 billion in 2004. The average seating capacity of<br />
regional aircraft also increased to 40.4 seats, up by 1.3<br />
percent over the previous year. The average annual utilization<br />
per aircraft was 2,682 hours, a notable 12.3 percent increase<br />
over 2004, and the highest rate recorded in the previous 10<br />
years.<br />
<strong>Regional</strong> airlines continued their significant growth trend in<br />
2005, as major airlines utilized these aircraft in markets<br />
where reduced traffic and lower yields cannot support larger<br />
jets. By the end of 2005, 1,620 regional jets were operating<br />
in the United States.

In 2005 the number of passenger aircraft in service with US<br />
regional airlines declined by 2.9 percent to 2,676 compared to<br />
2004. The decline was highlighted by a reduction in 50-seat<br />
regional jets. as the major airlines rationalized short-haul service.<br />
The average passenger seat capacity of regional aircraft grew<br />
from 39.9 seats in 2004 to 40.4 in 2005, a slight 1.3 percent<br />
increase. While the average passenger trip length increased 4.6<br />
percent to 437 miles, average annual utilization per aircraft<br />
increased 12.3 percent to 2,682 hours in 2005. The 2005 figure<br />
represents the highest utilization rate in the past 10 years.<br />
Although declining in size by 8.1 percent, the turboprop aircraft<br />
fleet of 683 aircraft continued to play a very critical role in 2005,<br />
providing service to many small and medium size communities.<br />
The turboprops were 26 percent of the fleet in service at the end<br />
of the year. The regional jet fleet increased to 61 percent of the<br />
regional airline fleet as compared to 52 percent the previous<br />
year. At the end of 2005, there were 1,620 regional jets in service<br />
as compared to 1,628 in 2004. <strong>Regional</strong> jets accounted for 88.4<br />
percent of the revenue passenger miles flown by the regional<br />
airline industry as compared to 60 percent a year earlier.<br />
Aircraft operated under Federal Aviation Regulation Part 121<br />
(those aircraft with 10 or more passenger seats operated in<br />
scheduled service) accounted for 83 percent of the US regional<br />
airline fleet, a 0.5 percent decrease over the previous year.<br />
Aircraft operating under these rules provided 97 percent of the<br />
industry’s revenue passenger miles.<br />
RAA 2006 Annual Report<br />
The Bombardier CRJ100/200 series accounted for the largest<br />
percentage of the industry fleet with 636 aircraft, the CRJ700<br />
added another 203 units and the CRJ900 introduced 38 more to<br />
the manufacturer’s regional jet total of 877 aircraft. Bombardier<br />
turboprop aircraft, the Dash 8-100/200 Series, accounted for an<br />
additional 110 aircraft raising the company’s fleet share to 51.3<br />
percent. Embraer’s market presence increased with 717 regional<br />
jets (ERJ135/140/145/170s) and 73 turboprops (Embraer Brasilias)<br />
capturing 37.4 percent of the total fleet seats. Other turboprop<br />
manufacturers ranked accordingly, the Saab 340 at 4 percent of<br />
the total fleet seats with 121 units, the ATR 72 with a 3.3<br />
percent share flying 52 aircraft and the Beech 1900 flying 144<br />
units and a 2.7 percent share.<br />
Transportation of cargo has become important to the bottom line<br />
of many regional airlines and the size and sophistication of the<br />
all-cargo fleet reflects this trend. The number of aircraft utilized<br />
solely for cargo carriage increasing this year to 1,571 aircraft<br />
compared to 1,555 in 2004. Turboprop aircraft continued to<br />
dominate the cargo industry, accounting for 59 percent of the<br />
fleet. The Cessna Caravan led the fleet with 356 aircraft, down<br />
slightly from the 376 operated in 2004.

<strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Airline</strong>s — Where do we go from here?<br />
By Raymond E. Neidl<br />
Calyon Securities<br />
Consolidation May Be in the Works as the Strong Get Stronger<br />
Overview<br />
Some of the US based regional carriers<br />
with less financial resources are expected<br />
to face an uncertain future as their<br />
customers, the major legacy carriers,<br />
continue to cut costs. Some industry<br />
observers have expressed that margins<br />
may come down to as low as 5 or 6<br />
percent. While we believe there will be<br />
continuing pressures on margins, we do<br />
not expect that industry margins will be<br />
cut to those levels, but we believe that the<br />
regional partners will have to take on<br />
more risk such as aircraft ownership. The<br />
regional feeders are too important to the<br />
legacy carriers and despite sharp costcutting;<br />
the regional’s can still do the job<br />
more economically. The legacy carriers will<br />
not kill the “goose that lays the golden<br />
eggs for them.” If margins are reduced to<br />
mid-single digit, the regionals would not<br />
be able to raise capital.<br />
<strong>Airline</strong> Sector: Operating Data Totals<br />
RAA 2006 Annual Report<br />
The regional airlines that we follow that<br />
have a diversified customer base such as<br />
SkyWest, Mesa and Republic already own<br />
and finance their aircraft which puts them<br />
in a dominate position to retain and<br />
obtain new business. Carriers with one<br />
customer, such as Pinnacle, Mesaba and<br />
ExpressJet, and do not have ownership of<br />
their aircraft face a more difficult future in<br />
not only trying to obtain new contracts<br />
but also in retaining their current ones. In<br />
the event that their larger legacy partner<br />
wants to get out of the ownership of<br />
regional jets (RJs), which we believe is a<br />
distinct possibility, Pinnacle and Mesaba<br />
have limited resources to finance aircraft<br />
acquisitions. Asset-backed financing is<br />
available but may be more expensive for<br />
regional’s which would impede them in<br />
seeking business.<br />
Growth in the regional sector will be in<br />
the 70-to 90-seat RJs as "scope clause"<br />
restrictions are loosened at the major<br />
carriers and a surplus of 50-seat aircraft<br />
develops as some demand switches to<br />
larger aircraft. The key beneficiary of<br />
supplying these aircraft should be Embraer<br />
with its new E170/190 series (70- to 110seats<br />
depending on model) which fits the<br />
larger sized RJ market. However, the pilots<br />
at the legacy carriers will resist “scope<br />
clause” liberalization” in both the number<br />
and size of RJs allowed even when their<br />
employers are scratching for survival in<br />
bankruptcy which means, as can be seen<br />
in the Northwest bankruptcy case,<br />
progress will be slow. For distances less<br />
than 500 miles we believe that the larger<br />
(70-seat) new technology turboprops may<br />
become come into demand in North<br />
America to get around some of these<br />
restrictions without having to fight with<br />
their pilots unions. Even though out of<br />
favor here since the advent of the RJ over<br />
a decade ago because of the image of<br />
propellers being old fashioned and noisy,<br />
larger prop aircraft have been used in<br />

Europe. With new technology and high<br />
fuel costs, airlines in North America may<br />
be taking another look at the Bombardier<br />
product. We also believe that the traveling<br />
public will now be more receptive to this<br />
type of aircraft for shorter route segments.<br />
We believe that the industry will evolve<br />
into three or four strong regional carriers<br />
bidding for the business from multiple<br />
legacy carriers. Those that will win will be<br />
the best operators with the lowest cost<br />
structures and the best financial resources<br />
to sustain this growth and acquire aircraft.<br />
The major carriers, as they continue to try<br />
to cut costs and streamline operations, will<br />
become more dependant on the regionals<br />
and in all probability would rather contract<br />
this segment of the business out rather<br />
than operate it themselves for various<br />
reasons including the tieing up of<br />
resources and to gain the flexibility of<br />
changing operators if costs became too<br />
high. Nevertheless it will remain an important<br />
add-on to the legacy carriers systems<br />
in that they will need the important and<br />
frequent feed from smaller cities into their<br />
hubs to increase traffic flow over their<br />
longer distance routes that they will be<br />
flying themselves.<br />
As a result, some regional carriers will face<br />
uncertain growth prospects and we expect<br />
there will be a glut of 50-seat jets as larger<br />
aircraft come more into use. In the long<br />
run, we may be seeing the regional sector<br />
evolve into three or four large and wellcapitalized<br />
carriers; excluding AMR owned<br />
<strong>Airline</strong> Sector: Operating Statistics<br />
American Eagle and Alaska Air owned<br />
Horizon Air. We do not expect to see<br />
either of these regionals sold or become<br />
independent any<strong>time</strong> soon, although we<br />
do expect Comair to be sold (if its cost<br />
problems are fixed) or liquidated (if problems<br />
are not solved).<br />
The secret to success seems to be the size<br />
and strength of the balance sheet of<br />
regional carriers as well as their borrowing<br />
capability as legacy partners may require<br />
them to take on additional risks. We<br />
expect many regional carriers will be<br />
building their cash positions to participate<br />
in this possible industry shakeout in<br />
bidding for new business or in possibly<br />
making acquisitions. In our opinion,<br />
building cash reserves is critical for future<br />
growth because we believe the trend will<br />
be towards regional carriers being required<br />
to finance aircraft on their own versus<br />
ownership by their legacy partners.<br />
A long-term threat to the future growth of<br />
the regional industry is the probability that<br />
at some point some of the legacy carriers<br />
will disappear through merger or liquidation.<br />
The country has too many large<br />
legacy airlines with too many hubs. When<br />
the industry evolves to fewer large legacy<br />
carriers there will be less of a need for<br />
regional feed since one of the benefits of<br />
legacy airline mergers will be the elimination<br />
of marginal hubs. As hubs disappear,<br />
some of the regional capacity will be<br />
transferred to larger hubs with the balance<br />
being eliminated. We do not see major<br />
industry consolidation, however, for at<br />
least the next few years.<br />
Current developments<br />
SkyWest remains the predominate regional<br />
airline and is aggressively bidding for business<br />
from legacy carriers that it currently<br />
does not do business with, particularly<br />
Northwest and Continental. This business<br />
would be beyond their current contracts at<br />
United and Delta. Northwest may have<br />
some business to auction off but in our<br />
view the new pilot contract is a disappointment<br />
in that the final agreement<br />
with its pilots included only modest<br />
changes in the “scope clause” restrictions.<br />
The carrier, which had one of the most<br />
restrictive “scope clause” restrictions and<br />
the greatest need for larger RJs because of<br />
this and the many long and thin routes<br />
that it operates was able to only win the<br />
usage of an additional 90 RJs of 70 seats<br />
(none of the larger 90-seaters) which did<br />
not come close to the hundreds many<br />
observers, including us, were expecting.<br />
This shows the continuing fear of this type<br />
of aircraft and the power that the pilots<br />
union still has in this area. At least half of<br />
this new business has to go to a Northwest<br />
owned subsidiary to be flown by<br />
Northwest pilots.<br />
In the case of Northwest's business, its<br />
two regional carriers, Pinnacle and<br />
Mesaba, could be at risk. We do not<br />
necessarily believe that Pinnacle will lose<br />
its current business flying the 50-seat<br />

regional jets (RJ) but it may have a hard<br />
<strong>time</strong> winning new business with the larger<br />
RJs which is where the growth opportunity<br />
will be. Additionally, although there have<br />
been no such indications, we believe that<br />
there is a threat that Northwest may want<br />
to be out of the business of owning RJs<br />
and may require its regional partner to<br />
purchase its 50-seaters in order to do business<br />
there. If SKYW offers a good enough<br />
deal, Northwest may not only ignore PNCL<br />
for new business but may also ask PNCL<br />
to buy 50-seat aircraft for the current business<br />
as well. PNCL has good operations<br />
and low costs but may lack the financial<br />
resources to buy 50-seaters much less 70seaters.<br />
Continental is unhappy with its regional<br />
feeder ExpressJet and is now in a position<br />
where it could terminate the contract with<br />
twelve months notice. Already they have<br />
trimmed the contract by 69 aircraft, some<br />
<strong>Airline</strong> Sector: Operating Statistics Forecast<br />
of which may be replaced by large (70seat)<br />
turboprops which would get around<br />
their tight “scope clause” restrictions with<br />
their pilots since they are not jets. Continental<br />
cannot use the larger RJs due to<br />
“scope clause” restrictions in its current<br />
pilot’s contract. There may still be some<br />
new business for regionals but SkyWest<br />
will not have the field to themselves and<br />
possibly could not handle all of the opportunities<br />
that may become available.<br />
Therefore, we believe that there will be<br />
opportunities for other regionals for new<br />
business, including those that have good<br />
operating records, low costs, financial<br />
resources and possibly already have operational<br />
experience with larger RJs, which<br />
would include Republic and Mesa.<br />
Although under its current contract Continental<br />
cannot reduce capacity with<br />
ExpressJet by more than the 25 percent it<br />
already has, Continental can terminate the<br />
entire contract with one year's advance<br />
notice. In our opinion, transferring entire<br />
contracts would be highly risky for Northwest<br />
and Continental, given that we<br />
believe Pinnacle and ExpressJet provide<br />
high and satisfactory levels of service and<br />
transferring the entire contract could lead<br />
to service disruptions. However, this is not<br />
out of the realm of possibility in the event<br />
that Northwest or Continental receives a<br />
compelling bid from a competitor.<br />
In the case of Delta's regional feed business,<br />
we believe SKYW would be a prime<br />
candidate to further grow its business with<br />
Delta. It can purchase Comair from Delta if<br />
or when Comair can get its cost structure<br />
down. We believe SKYW would be a good<br />
candidate as an acquirer because of its<br />
current working relationship with Delta<br />
and its history of having already purchased<br />
Delta's other regional unit, ASA. If Comair<br />
cannot get its costs under control it could<br />
be forced to liquidate and SKYW would<br />

have a chance of getting this business by<br />
picking up the pieces.<br />
In addition, Delta's recent announcement<br />
of its plans to enhance domestic feed for<br />
its international operations at JFK with<br />
regional flying further offers growth<br />
opportunities for stronger regionals. Today,<br />
Mesa announced it is supporting Delta in<br />
this endeavor by expanding its strategic<br />
partnership with Delta, under which it will<br />
fly 12, 37-seat de Havilland Dash 8<br />
aircraft. The Dash 8s covered under this<br />
agreement are readily available, in our<br />
opinion, and will be incremental to the 16<br />
Dash 8 aircraft currently operated by<br />
Mesa. The term of the new agreement is<br />
three years. The aircraft will be operated<br />
under a capacity purchase arrangement<br />
similar to Mesa's existing Delta Connection<br />
agreement under which it flies<br />
50-seat regional jets. We believe the<br />
increased regional jet flying at JFK will be<br />
handled by Comair.<br />
These potential developments could be a<br />
major opportunity for SkyWest and a<br />
major threat to Pinnacle, Mesaba and<br />
ExpressJet. If these developments occur,<br />
we believe the strong will get stronger and<br />
the weak will get weaker. This fits into our<br />
theory that consolidation will occur in the<br />
<strong>Airline</strong> Sector: Stock Price Performance<br />
Indices<br />
regional industry and the survivors will<br />
have the scale and financial capacity<br />
necessary to diversify operations and seek<br />
new business. SkyWest will not have the<br />
field for new business all to themselves<br />
and possibly could not handle all of the<br />
opportunities available. Therefore, we<br />
believe that there will be opportunities for<br />
other regionals for new business, including<br />
those that have good operating records,<br />
low costs, financial resources and possibly<br />
already have operational experience with<br />
larger RJs, which would include Republic<br />
and Mesa.<br />

Conclusion<br />
The mix of regional jet demand by legacy<br />
carriers is more towards 70-seat aircraft<br />
and away from 50-seaters. It is generally<br />
perceived that there may be a surplus<br />
developing of 50-seat and smaller regional<br />
jets which are mainly used in the North<br />
American market. There is little demand<br />
for this type of aircraft outside North<br />
America since turboprop aircraft of this<br />
size are used in Europe and Asia. As pilot<br />
“scope clause” restrictions are liberalized<br />
we believe that the demand trend towards<br />
larger RJs (70 to 90 seats) will continue.<br />
Embraer is looking at growth in the larger<br />
RJ market and believes that most new 50seat<br />
production will be used for<br />
replacement or business jets in coming<br />
years.<br />
<strong>Airline</strong> Sector: Liquidity Statistics<br />
RAA 2006 Annual Report<br />
We see the regional industry continuing to<br />
evolve, not only towards larger RJ aircraft<br />
but to the regional carriers bearing more<br />
risk, including aircraft ownership and even<br />
possibly part or all of fuel price risk. If the<br />
regional’s have to assume this additional<br />
risk, we believe that this would put a<br />
break on legacy partners trying to significantly<br />
reduce regional business margins.<br />
The reasoning here is that if regional<br />
margins became too low, financing the<br />
acquisition of jets would become difficult<br />
and the regional feed model, which is very<br />
important to the legacy carriers, may not<br />
work.<br />
We may be seeing the regional sector<br />
evolve into three or four large and wellcapitalized<br />
carriers (excluding AMR owned<br />
American Eagle and Alaska Air owned<br />
Horizon). In order to take on the additional<br />
risks that may occur, size and the<br />
strength of the balance sheet as well as<br />
borrowing capability will be important.<br />
Many regionals, we believe, will be<br />
building their cash positions to participate<br />
in this possible industry shakeout in<br />
bidding for new business or in possibly<br />
making acquisitions.<br />

Major <strong>Airline</strong> Restructuring Creates New<br />
Opportunities for <strong>Regional</strong>s<br />
Introduction<br />
The US regional airline industry has<br />
continued to deliver strong passenger<br />
returns during a period of major airline<br />
restructuring. The network carrier<br />
restructurings have created additional<br />
opportunities for regional airlines for<br />
market and traffic growth in a changed<br />
landscape marked by historically high fuel<br />
prices and lower passenger yields which<br />
in turn has put large pressures on overall<br />
cost structures and aircraft unit costs —<br />
both at the major and regional airline<br />
level. These developments have enabled<br />
regional airlines to deploy larger aircraft,<br />
increase aircraft utilization, and in some<br />
cases continue to fly turboprop fleets.<br />
US regional airlines’ traffic growth has<br />
achieved annual average growth of almost<br />
20 percent over the last 10 years even<br />
though the number of regional airlines in<br />
operation has declined by 40 percent and<br />
the regional aircraft fleet has averaged<br />
only a 2 percent increase per year over<br />
that period — illustrating the enormous<br />
efficiency gains that the regional airline<br />
industry has achieved over a relatively<br />
short period of <strong>time</strong>.<br />
RAA 2006 Annual Report<br />
The US regional airline environment is<br />
now comprised of mega-regional airlines<br />
with low cost structures with multiple<br />
major airline codeshare agreements —<br />
including fixed fee contracts coupled<br />
with some pro-rate agreements. The new<br />
competitive setting dictates that regional<br />
airlines become flexible, competitive,<br />
opportunistic, and operationally adroit as<br />
regional airlines are now competing with<br />
branded network carriers as well as low<br />
cost airlines.<br />
Worldwide, regional airlines are facing a<br />
range of issues depending on their<br />
region of operation. Several of the<br />
regions of the world are facing the<br />
common concern of growth of low cost<br />
operators and the potential that has on<br />
their ability to expand. Unlike the United<br />
States, which has a fairly well defined<br />
structure of major and regional airlines,<br />
many regions still do not have a strong<br />
balance and integration between<br />
regional and mainline airlines. How<br />
these and other issues are resolved will<br />
determine the growth of passenger<br />
traffic and the type of regional aircraft<br />
that will be required.<br />
Within North America, the following<br />
major drivers will determine the size and<br />
shape of future regional airline operations.<br />
• Pilot scope relaxation<br />
• Continuation of route pushdown from<br />
major to regional<br />
• <strong>Regional</strong> airline profitability and the<br />
ability of regional airlines to acquire<br />
new aircraft<br />
• Passenger yield environment<br />
• Cost structure control and reduction<br />
• Operational efficiency and excellence<br />
Forecast Highlights and<br />
Summary<br />
The Rolls-Royce regional aircraft forecast is<br />
divided into major regions of the world<br />
with the US, Canada, and the Caribbean<br />
comprising the North American region.<br />
Further, the forecast covers seat categories<br />
ranging from 30 to 90 seats in passenger<br />
service. Rolls-Royce is forecasting that the<br />
North American market will take delivery<br />
of approximately 1,500 regional-size<br />
aircraft over the next 10 years. This will<br />
be a mix of both large turboprop aircraft<br />
and regional jet aircraft that will largely<br />
exist in the hub-and-spoke environment
although more point-to-point flying will be<br />
apparent over the forecast period.<br />
The delivery pattern for aircraft will be<br />
dominated by regional jet aircraft in the<br />
70- to 90-seat category which, because of<br />
relaxation of pilot scope, will enable<br />
regional airlines to provide seamless<br />
passenger service from their major airline<br />
partners at low seat mile unit costs. It is<br />
expected that the US will take a large<br />
proportion of deliveries of regional aircraft<br />
worldwide, likely taking more than 50<br />
percent of total world demand for 30- to<br />
90-seat regional aircraft.<br />
Available seat mile growth for the<br />
regional airline industry over the next 10<br />
years within the North American market<br />
will average about 6 percent per year and<br />
will be a multiple of gross domestic<br />
product growth. US regional airline<br />
passenger enplanement growth has developed<br />
into an exponential pattern over the<br />
last 35 years and may grow to a third of a<br />
billion passengers by 2015 if growth is<br />
maintained at 10 percent per year over<br />
the next 10 years. A more moderate and<br />
baseline growth rate of 6 percent<br />
suggests passenger enplanements of a<br />
quarter of a billion by 2015. (See charts to<br />
right.)<br />
Turboprop Forecast and<br />
Developments<br />
Turboprop aircraft continue to be an<br />
important element in regional airline<br />
deployment patterns. Although all sizes of<br />
turboprops in passenger service have<br />
declined substantially over the years (753<br />
turboprops of all sizes are currently in<br />
passenger service in the US compared with<br />
1,680 in 1995), there is a recent revival of<br />
turboprop fortunes. This renewal is due to<br />
high fuel prices which have made the<br />
turboprop much more valuable on shorter<br />
sector routes than small regional jets.<br />
Turboprop fleets, rather than being<br />
replaced, are now being redeployed and<br />
removal plans in some cases have been<br />
postponed. Moreover, turboprop aircraft<br />
have seen an increase in order backlog,<br />
the first <strong>time</strong> in eight years.<br />

The North American forecast indicates a<br />
delivery demand for 125 new turboprops<br />
over the next 10 years, many of which will<br />
be in the large aircraft category, a result of<br />
the necessity of lower unit costs and<br />
better cabin comfort. Smaller turboprops<br />
will continue to be removed from service<br />
and thus, total in-service turboprops over<br />
the forecast period will continue to fall.<br />
While we are expecting turboprop deliveries<br />
to continue through much of the<br />
forecast period, we are forecasting that<br />
current production aircraft as well as used<br />
aircraft will meet aircraft turboprop fleet<br />

requirements; hence, no new turboprop<br />

30- to 50-Seat <strong>Regional</strong> Jet<br />
Forecast and Developments<br />
The 30- to 50-seat regional jet is the<br />
workhorse of the US regional airline fleet.<br />
Partly because of pilot scope restrictions<br />
and availability of aircraft, the in-service<br />
50-seat regional jet fleet now numbers<br />
over 1,300 aircraft in the US and almost<br />
1,400 in North America. The aircraft has<br />
proved to work effectively in the hub and<br />

spoke network on both short and long<br />
haul missions.<br />
However, as with all aircraft, high fuel<br />
price and a lower yield environment have<br />
reduced profit margins on the aircraft<br />
raising breakeven load factors. Together<br />
with a relaxation in US pilot scope<br />
contracts permitting larger aircraft at the<br />
regional level plus a succession of airline<br />
bankruptcies and reorganizations, the 30to<br />
50-seat regional jet market has<br />
matured and has likely reached its high<br />
point.<br />
Despite these developments, this<br />
segment will continue to be the backbone<br />
of regional airline operations for<br />
many years to come. The major strength<br />
of the aircraft will be on routes between<br />
250 and 600 miles with the ability to<br />
maintain high frequency levels and<br />
market presence.<br />
The Roll-Royce forecast indicates that<br />
about 100 incremental 50-seat regional<br />
jet aircraft deliveries will be required in<br />
the North American market over the next<br />
10 years. The market may fill some of its<br />
fleet requirements with used regional jet<br />
aircraft. Beyond the 10 year forecast<br />
period, we are projecting a significant<br />
replacement market beginning in the<br />
2015 <strong>time</strong>frame. This fleet renewal will<br />
RAA 2006 Annual Report<br />
take place in order to satisfy some market<br />
spacing and segmentation that will exist<br />
primarily in the US. Delivery volumes of<br />
60-80 aircraft per year are forecast. A<br />
new 50-seat aircraft will require better<br />
operating economics and comfort<br />
compared to today’s product.<br />
70- to 90-Seat <strong>Regional</strong> Jet<br />
Forecast and Developments<br />
The 70-90 seat regional jet market will<br />
achieve high growth through the forecast<br />
period. We are projecting approximately<br />
1,300 aircraft deliveries in this seat<br />
segment over the next 10 years within<br />
North America. Order backlogs within this<br />
segment indicate there are approximately<br />
250 aircraft on firm order. <strong>Regional</strong><br />
airlines are now increasing aircraft gauge<br />
across their systems using larger aircraft<br />
to lower unit costs in medium to higher<br />
density routes as well as replacing some<br />

50-seat regional jets on market pairs<br />
greater than 600 miles in length.<br />
Much of the 70- to 90-seat demand will<br />
occur in the US, a result of pilot scope<br />
relaxation relating to aircraft size and<br />
number of units permitted in each airline’s<br />
pilot contract. Nonetheless, pilot scope<br />
continues to remain and although relaxed,<br />
still puts significant limits on regional jet<br />
potential.<br />
The arrival of larger regional jets is blurring<br />
the lines between regional airlines<br />
and major carriers. The orderbook for 70to<br />
90-seat aircraft is made up of regional<br />
airlines as well as large independent<br />
major airlines, low cost carriers and<br />
leasing companies. This diversity of operators<br />
illustrates the strength and flexibility<br />
of these aircraft and why they will dominate<br />
deliveries over the next 10 years.

Labor Relations Update<br />
By Jerry Glass, President – F&H Solutions<br />
As expected, the unprecedented change and demand for financial<br />
restructuring that has dominated the legacy airline industry<br />
has filtered its way to the regional industry, bringing its own<br />
unique set of demands for change and financial efficiency. Even<br />
though most segments of the regional industry have been profitable<br />
and relatively healthy during this extended period of<br />
financial turmoil after 9/11, regional airline industry management,<br />
labor leaders and employees are dealing with pressures<br />
related to fuel costs, operating efficiencies and overcapacity.<br />
Furthermore, the completion of judicial restructuring efforts by<br />
United <strong>Airline</strong>s and US Airways (and its subsequent merger with<br />
America West) set off a chain reaction that has been felt across<br />
the industry. Faced with mounting losses and more efficient<br />
competitors, Delta Air Lines and Northwest <strong>Airline</strong>s followed US<br />
Airways and United into Chapter 11 protection. American<br />
<strong>Airline</strong>s and Continental <strong>Airline</strong>s continue to pursue their own<br />
set of efficiencies and operating changes on a voluntary basis.<br />
Low-cost carriers that the legacy carriers are trying to emulate<br />
have also struggled. All of these factors have lead to unprecedented<br />
change for the regional industry.<br />
The most obvious change has been a game of musical chairs as<br />
mainline carriers in Chapter 11 renegotiate code-share relationships,<br />
secure financial investment, sever existing contractual<br />
relationships, and develop new partnerships with regional<br />
airlines. United started the process early on its bankruptcy<br />
proceedings, resulting in United, US Airways, Delta, and<br />

Continental all entering into business relationships with different<br />
regional airlines. In probably the most unusual result, Air<br />
Wisconsin actually became a significant investor in the US<br />
Airways-America West merger. More importantly, the contractual<br />
relationships between mainline and regional airlines have<br />
changed, exposing regional carriers to new business pressures<br />
and resulting in Chapter 11 filings of some regional carriers to<br />
facilitate their own restructurings.<br />

Consequently, labor relations in the regional airline industry have<br />
been marked by many of the same issues facing the major<br />
carriers. Comparably high unit and operating costs of smaller<br />
regional jets is encouraging growth in the larger 70 to 100-seat<br />
fleet of regional jet aircraft. Who will fly those aircraft — mainline<br />
or regional airline employees — and at what rates and work<br />
rules is one of the key issues facing management and labor.<br />
Mainline labor leaders hope to protect jobs by securing scope<br />
clause language that puts at least some of that flying at the<br />
mainline carriers. <strong>Regional</strong> industry management sees the<br />
growth opportunities of these larger regional jets, and want to<br />
secure pay rates and work rules that give them a distinct advantage<br />
in operating those aircraft.<br />
In addition, the industry migration to larger regional jets has put<br />
added pressure on making the operating costs of smaller regional<br />
jets more competitive, as demonstrated by the Comair bankruptcy<br />
proceeding. But other operators of smaller regional jets<br />
are facing similar demands for lower operating costs in order to<br />
make their feeder service to their mainline partners affordable in<br />
this era of low costs and transparent consumer pricing.<br />
Ultimately, all of these factors have helped to fashion the growth<br />
patterns in the regional industry. While some carriers are entering<br />
into new agreements with mainline partners, they are essentially<br />
just redeploying their existing fleets and employees. Other<br />
regional carriers such as those under the Republic and Mesa<br />
holding companies, respectively, are realizing significant growth<br />
and expansion into the larger regional jet market, due to their<br />
efficiencies and competitive labor costs.<br />
With fuel costs unabated, and many experts predicting that oil<br />
prices will remain at current levels for the foreseeable future, the<br />
demand for competitive pay rates and work rules in the regional<br />
airline industry can only take regional carriers part way to their<br />
goal of financial success. Virtually all aspects of their operations<br />
are under scrutiny, especially as it relates to labor costs. Management<br />
and labor will need to find new ways to work together on<br />
issues like pensions, health insurance, sick leave and workers<br />
compensation, as well as other quality of life issues that round<br />
out overall compensation packages and labor costs.<br />
As we have seen over the past several years, crowded airports<br />
and airplanes do not necessarily translate into airline profitability<br />
and employee rewards. Management will need to maintain an<br />
improved and constant state of open communication to keep<br />
employees informed and educated on the changing nature of the<br />
business and the need to be able to adapt and react to that<br />
change. While the regional industry has been relatively successful<br />
over the past decade, that past success will not predetermine<br />
future success. The legacy carriers have made some very difficult<br />
decisions over the past several years – retiring aircraft, laying off<br />
tens of thousands of employees, terminating defined benefit<br />
pensions and retiree medical benefits, and severing business rela-<br />
tionships with vendors – making it abundantly clear that they are<br />
prepared to do what might be unpopular but necessary in order<br />
to survive. The regional carriers that have strong labor-management<br />
partnerships that will allow them to be nimble, efficient<br />
and competitive will be the ones that survive and hopefully thrive<br />
in this era.<br />

The AMC Chairman’s Report<br />
Through the hard work and dedication of past and present associate members, the AMC<br />
was able to accomplish several firsts this past year. The AMC is pleased to report that it<br />
awarded the first scholarships to deserving students of member universities. With the<br />
support and coordination of the RAA staff, the AMC presented its first seminar to the<br />
regional airlines, with a focus on quality assurance and cost reduction. Finally, the AMC<br />
is now 15 members strong for the first <strong>time</strong>, increasing the diversity of the backgrounds<br />
and ideas represented.<br />
Did you know that the golf tournament raffle and donations are the sole funding mechanism<br />
for the RAA Scholarship? The AMC would like to see the scholarship endowment<br />
continue to build over <strong>time</strong>. The AMC plans to take steps to increase the awareness of<br />
the scholarship, as well as offer different ways for the conference attendees to donate to<br />
the education of our future industry leaders.<br />
During the 2006 Annual Conference in Dallas, associate member GE Aviation presented<br />
a Lean Six Sigma seminar to both the Operations Forum and to the General Session. The<br />
AMC will continue to support similar programs and utilize its resources to develop<br />
programs of value and interest to the regional airlines and associate members.<br />
The AMC intends to increase its visibility at future conferences. As a key intermediary<br />
between the regional airlines and the associate members, we want to make sure<br />
everyone is aware of who we are and the purpose we serve. We encourage airline and<br />
associate members to bring any questions, ideas or comments to our attention.<br />
As the regional airlines’ legacy partners struggle to restructure their costs, the resulting<br />
downward pressure on the regional carriers impacts everyone in the industry. The interdependent<br />
relationship between the regional airlines and the associate members is<br />
crucial to the success of our industry. The AMC is committed to working with both the<br />
regional airlines and the associate members to find ways so that both parties continue to<br />
gain from this mutually beneficial relationship.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Stephen Alexandris, Chairman<br />

A company of the Safran Group, Snecma<br />
is one of the world’s leading aerospace<br />
propulsion companies. Snecma designs<br />
and produces commercial engines that are<br />
leaders in their thrust class, such as the<br />
CFM56, the world’s best selling and most<br />
reliable commercial aircraft engine<br />
produced through CFM International, an<br />
equal partnership of Snecma and General<br />
Electric. Snecma is also a partner to GE on<br />
various large turbofan engines: the CF6,<br />
the GE90 and the GP7200.<br />
Snecma is active in all three segments<br />
of the military aircraft market: combat<br />
(M88-2 and M53-P2 engines), training<br />
(Larzac®) and transport (TP400-D6). The<br />
company is also the propulsion prime<br />
contractor on Europe’s Ariane space<br />
launchers. It develops and produces a<br />
wide range of propulsion systems and<br />
equipment for launchers, space vehicles<br />
and satellites.<br />
Snecma is now making inroads in the<br />
regional aircraft market with the SaM146<br />
engine, purpose designed for regional<br />
aircraft and other small jets. Drawing on<br />
its long experience with international partnerships,<br />
Snecma is building this engine in<br />
partnership with Russian engine manufacturer<br />
NPO Saturn through PowerJet, a<br />
50/50 joint venture in charge of SaM146<br />
program management.<br />
The SaM146 engine is the only integrated<br />
propulsion system (comprising<br />
engine, equipment and nacelle) specifically<br />
designed for the new generation of small<br />
jets. Developing 14,000 to 17,500 pounds<br />
of thrust, it covers thrust requirements for<br />
aircraft carrying up to 100 passengers. It<br />
benefits from advanced technologies<br />
developed by Snecma, over 30 years of<br />
operating experience with the best-selling<br />
CFM56 turbofan engine. In April 2003,<br />
the SaM146 was selected by Russian<br />
aircraft manufacturer Sukhoi Civil Aircraft<br />
to power the three versions of the Russian<br />
<strong>Regional</strong> Jet (RRJ) – 60, 75 and 95 seats.<br />

Unitron manufactures solid-state 400 Hz<br />
and 28 VDC ground power units (GPUs).<br />
Of particular interest to the regional<br />
airline industry is Unitron’s dual-output<br />
combination AC-DC ground power units<br />
(GPUs). These units provide simultaneous<br />
AC and DC power from the same GPU,<br />
allowing one unit to service a mixed fleet<br />
of AC and DC regional aircraft. By<br />
combining the output of two GPUs into a<br />
single solid-state unit, customers reduce<br />
equipment, operating and maintenance<br />
costs, as well as ease ramp congestion by<br />
reducing the amount of equipment<br />
needed on the ramp. All Unitron GPUs<br />
are available in mobile, towable, or<br />
passenger boarding bridge-mounted configurations,<br />
and are suitable for both ramp and<br />
hangar use. Unitron’s mobile PwrKarts are<br />
the smallest and lightest mobile GPUs
Unitron, LP (cont’d)<br />
available in the market. They can easily be<br />
maneuvered by a single person, making<br />
reliable ground power available when and<br />
where it is needed.<br />

<strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Airline</strong> Services in North America 1995 – 2005<br />
The regional airline industry continued to provide safe, dependable<br />
service to communities across the country at a <strong>time</strong> when<br />
many mainline carriers were forced to reduce their schedules due<br />
to weak demand and high costs. Air service supports economic<br />
growth and without regional aircraft, the economies of many<br />
cities would have suffered.<br />
In 2005, the industry transported nearly 151 million passengers,<br />
translating to 1 of every 5 domestic passengers. There were 750<br />
communities in North America that received service from regional<br />
airlines in January 2006, a 2 percent increase from the previous<br />
year. These operations constitute an increasingly important<br />
proportion of the US national airspace system, with more than 40<br />
percent of total operations being provided by regional carriers.<br />
The industry served 664 of the 674 US commercial airports,<br />
providing exclusive service to 492, or 73 percent.<br />

<strong>Regional</strong> airlines, while known for providing links from smaller<br />
cities, account for an increasing percentage of operations at<br />
many large airports. In early 2006, 51.3 percent of the total daily<br />
nonstop departures at Chicago O’Hare — the nation’s busiest<br />
airport — were conducted by regional airlines. The top five<br />
airports receiving regional carrier service in January 2006, as<br />
ranked by nonstop departures, were Chicago O’Hare, Atlanta,<br />
Houston Intercontinental, Cincinnati and Charlotte, NC.<br />

Essential Air<br />

RAA 2006 Annual Report 119
ESSENTIAL AIR SERVICE<br />
120<br />
Essential Air Service<br />
By Faye Malarkey, RAA Vice President–Legislative Affairs<br />
A key component of the <strong>Airline</strong> Deregulation<br />
Act of 1978 was the guarantee of<br />
essential air service (EAS) to small and<br />
medium size communities. The original<br />
essential air service program provided for a<br />
continuation of air transportation for 10 years<br />
to all cities certificated on the date of the<br />
Act's enactment into law, October 24, 1978.<br />
The Essential Air Service program was<br />
modified and extended by the Airport and<br />
Airway Safety and Capacity Expansion Act<br />
of 1987 and enacted into law December<br />
30, 1987. The modified EAS program,<br />
effective October 1, 1988 through<br />
September 30, 1998, permitted new or<br />
enhanced service for many cities but<br />
required communities to be located 45<br />
miles or more from the nearest hub airport<br />
in order to receive service. <strong>Airline</strong> service<br />
would have to be provided two <strong>time</strong>s per<br />
day and six days per week, with aircraft<br />
with an effective capacity of 15 passengers<br />
or more except in cases where passenger<br />
traffic has continually been less than 11<br />
persons per flight or in cases where the<br />
community agrees to the use of smaller<br />
aircraft. All aircraft must be twin engine,<br />
two-pilot equipment, and must be pressurized<br />
if the flight regularly exceeds 8,000<br />
feet. Additionally, compensation rules for<br />
carriers providing subsidized essential air<br />
service were modified.<br />
On June 30, 1989, Public Law 101-45,<br />
the Dire Emergency Supplemental Appropriations<br />
Act of 1989, was enacted. This<br />
statute provided that, after September 30,<br />
1989, no subsidy paid for any service to or<br />
from any EAS air service point in the<br />
contiguous United States could exceed<br />
$300 per passenger.<br />
On December 19, 1989, the Department<br />
of Transportation further modified<br />
the EAS program, establishing more strin-<br />
RAA 2006 Annual Report<br />
gent eligibility criteria effective January 1,<br />
1990, which prohibited qualified communities<br />
from requiring a per-passenger subsidy<br />
exceeding $200. The statute further<br />
changed eligibility criteria for communities,<br />
requiring EAS points to be located 70<br />
highway miles or more from the nearest<br />
medium or large hub airport, 55 highway<br />
miles or more from the nearest small hub<br />
airport, or 45 highway miles or more from<br />
the nearest non-hub airport with 100 or<br />
more passenger enplanements per day. The<br />
statute made exceptions for certain state<br />
capitals as well as EAS points in Alaska,<br />
Hawaii and the Pacific.<br />
The Airport Safety and Capacity<br />
Expansion Act of 1990, enacted on<br />
November 5, 1990, contained several<br />
provisions related to the Essential Air<br />
Service program. The statute authorized<br />
the Department of Transportation to fund<br />
subsidized EAS service at $38.6 million for<br />
each fiscal year from 1992-1998, with<br />
funding authorized from the Airport and<br />
Airway Trust Fund. The statute additionally<br />
prohibited the Department of Transportation<br />
from declaring any existing EAS point<br />
ineligible for federal subsidy based on perpassenger<br />
subsidy amounts.<br />
The Department of Transportation<br />
Appropriations Act for fiscal year 1992<br />
(Public Law 102-143, enacted on October<br />
28, 1992) modified the Essential Air Service<br />
Program further, providing that payments<br />
to air carriers be funded from the Airport<br />
and Airway Trust Fund. This law also<br />
prohibited the Department of Transportation<br />
from authorizing EAS payments for<br />
service to communities that had not<br />
received service during fiscal year 1991 in<br />
cases where the community is located no<br />
more than 200 miles from a hub airport,<br />
unless the community provides the<br />
required matching funds. The statute also<br />
prohibited DOT from increasing service<br />
levels to existing EAS points unless the<br />
Secretary certifies in writing that the<br />
increased service level will result in selfsufficiency<br />
within three years of initiation<br />
of the increased level of service.<br />
Additional changes have been recently<br />
proposed for the EAS program. In 1994,<br />
Vice President Gore's National Performance<br />
Review recommended reduced EAS<br />
funding and more stringent criteria for<br />
service. In response to this report, the FY<br />
1995 Department of Transportation<br />
budget, submitted to Congress, included a<br />
proposed reduction in EAS funding of $7.8<br />
million. Additionally, a provision was<br />
proposed to prohibit communities located<br />
more than 70 miles from a small hub<br />
airport from receiving EAS funding.<br />
Congress did not, however, enact the<br />
proposed changes to the EAS program at<br />
that <strong>time</strong>.<br />
The DOT Fiscal Year 1997 Appropriations<br />
Act, signed into law by President<br />
Clinton on September 30, 1996, included<br />
language expressing Congress’ desire that<br />
the Department enable increased access to<br />
Chicago O’Hare Airport for small and<br />
medium-sized communities. The conference<br />
report directed DOT to “make the<br />
fullest possible use of existing exemption<br />
powers, for example by combining essential<br />
air service slots with the pool of slots at<br />
O’Hare Airport for military operations in a<br />
way that would increase the Department’s<br />
flexibility with regard to the <strong>time</strong> of day<br />
assigned to Essential Air Service slots. The
act also directed DOT to use its exemption<br />
authority to improve service to non-hub<br />
airports where significant improvements<br />
could be achieved. This directive was<br />
limited to O’Hare International Airport and<br />
aircraft carrying less than 60 passengers.”<br />
The FAA Reauthorization Act of 1996,<br />
signed into law by President Clinton on<br />
October 9, 1996, significantly changed<br />
funding for the EAS program. This law<br />
contained a provision, entitled the Rural<br />
Survival Act of 1996, which removed the<br />
September 30, 1997 sunset of the Essential<br />
Air Service Program and set no new date<br />
for the program to end. Further, the Act<br />
codified a permanent funding stream for<br />
the program, mandating that a standing<br />
annual Appropriations of $50 million for<br />
the EAS program. The source of this<br />
funding was to be obtained from certain<br />
fees, established by Federal Aviation<br />
Administration in May 1997 for a variety of<br />
aviation services provided to foreign<br />
governments, as well as fees paid by<br />
foreign airlines for overflights of the United<br />
States. After a successful court challenge,<br />
however, FAA was forced to amend its fee<br />
structure, resulting in a significant reduction<br />
in revenue, which in turn necessitated<br />
FAA to provide the remaining funding.<br />
Faced with funding shortfalls, DOT has<br />
issued several service termination notices,<br />
triggering broad opposition from communities<br />
and air carriers. Congress subsequently<br />
moved to increase funding for the<br />
program, raising EAS funding to $113<br />
million in Fiscal Year 2003. This funding<br />
increase resulted largely from concerns that<br />
the post-September 11 and Iraq war reductions<br />
in traffic would force carriers<br />
discontinue service to small communities,<br />
thus triggering new EAS subsidies. In<br />
certain cities, where the community was<br />
guaranteed air service under the Deregulation<br />
Act and the air carrier was providing<br />
the only scheduled air service, DOT could<br />
force the airline to continue to serve the<br />
market, paying “hold in monies” for that<br />
service.<br />
In recent years, communities, carriers<br />
and Congress have pointed to the<br />
program's failure to keep pace with<br />
changes in the airline industry and other<br />
modes of transportation that impact<br />
passenger traffic at EAS points. New highways<br />
and increased speed limits, for<br />
instance, have resulted in greater numbers<br />
of passengers driving to nearby airports in<br />
search of lower fares. The increased operational<br />
costs of 19 seat turboprop aircraft,<br />
coupled with passenger migration to<br />
nearby hubs, have caused Program costs<br />
associated with EAS to climb steadily since<br />
its inception.<br />
On December 13, 2003, the President<br />
signed into law HR 2115, the Century of<br />
Aviation Reauthorization Act (Vision 100).<br />
This law included several provisions<br />
impacting the EAS program. One such<br />
provision, requiring DOT to select ten EAS<br />
cities to pay up to ten percent of their EAS<br />
subsidy cost, was prohibited for one year<br />
by a law passed in early 2004, the FY2004<br />
Omnibus Appropriations Act. The status of<br />
this provision now depends upon further<br />
action by appropriators to prohibit implementation<br />
of the measure in future fiscal<br />
years. Should appropriators fail to include<br />
such a prohibition in FY05 spending measures,<br />
the provision will be implemented. If<br />
implemented, and in such cases where EAS<br />
subsidies are lost due to a community’s<br />
inability to contribute its designated local<br />
share, carriers will be exempted from 30day<br />
service continuation requirements.<br />
Other provisions of the 2003 FAA Reauthorization<br />
law also stand to impact the EAS<br />
Program. The law enacted many RAAnegotiated<br />
provisions seeking to alleviate<br />
some of the difficulties faced by EAS<br />
carriers. One such provision exempts<br />
carriers from EAS hold-in requirements in<br />
cases where a carrier elects to provide new<br />
air service to a currently unserved market<br />
(thereby freeing carriers from hold-in<br />
concerns if the market fails to develop).<br />
Another provision provides DOT with a tool<br />
to gauge carrier cost increases and adjust<br />
EAS compensation rates accordingly<br />
without requiring carriers to file termination<br />
notices in order to renegotiate<br />
contracts. Unfortunately DOT has yet to<br />
implement the cost-adjustment mechanism,<br />
citing a lack of resources and the<br />
need for a specific appropriation.<br />
The 2003 Reauthorization mandated<br />
other changes to the EAS Program, such as<br />
a code-sharing pilot program where DOT<br />
may direct major air carriers to enter into<br />
code-sharing agreements with EAS carriers<br />
and a provision requiring EAS carriers to<br />
file semi-annual on-<strong>time</strong> reports to DOT.<br />
The law also directed DOT to establish an<br />
alternative essential air service pilot<br />
program in which compensation for the<br />
service is paid directly to the local government<br />
of the community instead of to the<br />
air carrier and established a code-sharing<br />
pilot program where DOT may direct major<br />
air carriers to enter into code-sharing<br />
agreements with EAS carriers.<br />
Another change, among those mandated<br />
by the 2003 FAA Reauthorization, directs<br />
DOT, when determining program eligibility<br />
to consider the most "commonly used<br />
route" in determining EAS eligibility status<br />
for communities located more than 70<br />
miles from the nearest hub airport.<br />
In current and recent Budget Requests,<br />
the current administration has continually<br />
sought even greater changes to the<br />
program and, each year, proposes to strip<br />
the EAS Program of its entitlement status,<br />
cutting program funding in half, and<br />
enacting further-reaching community<br />
match programs, with respect to funding,<br />
that would reduce air service to all but the<br />
most remote communities.<br />
RAA continues to lobby Congress on<br />
the importance of full EAS funding and, in<br />
recent years, has been successful in<br />
obtaining appropriate funding levels to<br />
carry out the program. RAA has further<br />
lobbied Congress on a codification of the<br />
cost-adjustment mechanism afforded to<br />
DOT in the 2003 Reauthorization Act and<br />
expects to examine per-passenger subsidy<br />
caps and further issues related to “EAS<br />
reform” in the FAA Reauthorization bill<br />
expected next year. In the mean<strong>time</strong>, RAA<br />
projects that Program funding levels to<br />
remain adequate through FY07, despite<br />
continued political pressure to reduce<br />
funding.<br />

Jerry Atkin<br />
“We continue to buy the CRJ<br />
because it has great performance,<br />
great reliability and the economics<br />
are the best in the industry. It’s no<br />
surprise that we’ll fly 26 million<br />
passengers on CRJs this year.”<br />
Jerry Atkin, Chairman and CEO, SkyWest, Inc.<br />
Lowest operating costs. Excellent<br />
performance and comfort. That’s how<br />
the Bombardier CRJ Series is helping<br />
Jerry Atkin achieve his goal of making<br />
SkyWest the lowest cost, highest quality<br />
operator anywhere. Jerry did the math<br />
– and it added up to success.<br />
