Interesting bit about this, there's an email in the article to "suggest routes." I found that funny, but it's a good way to make locals feel like their input is heard and get the word about the service out there. I like the strategy. I emailed her just for the hell of it and got a really quick reply. I doubt anything will come of it, but it's kind of cool that they're that communicative.

Yes, agreed. It is interesting. I think they are weighing the options of Newark and Myrtle Beach. Maybe they are trying to gauge which would have more demand, but that is just a guess.

It has been great seeing the increased activity at the airport. I’ve seen larger aircraft in the past at EWB (DC-9’s, C130’s, ATR 72) but it’s nice to see a larger regularly scheduled flight. They used the larger CRJ700 on one trip instead of the normal CRJ200.
