I agree, but is it based on revenues - how the DOT classifies Major, National, Regional carriers? Also, did anyone notice that Great Plains plans to use the money for *expansion*? They intend to use the loan to purchase 10 aircraft. Interesting, I thought this was for survival reasons, not expansion. > By Julie MacIntosh > NEW YORK, June 28 (Reuters) - Regional air carriers Aloha Airlines, World > Airways Inc. (WLDA) and Great Plains Airlines filed applications on Friday When did World Airways become a regional carrier? Last time I checked, it was not a regional airline - it was a worldwide charter airline.
