[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2261949, member: 58386"] Not at my terminal. Any requests for an additional route was turned down for the same reason. It was a terminal that lost money . If fact it was designated for closing twice in it's first 3 years. My only option was to run money losing supplementals and anybody who has had to run those damn things in a high mileage low volume area knows what I'm talking about. The guy who bought the route is running a full time supp plus a full time jumper and is hemorrhaging money at a furious pace but due to ISP conversion he needed an additional route and mine was all that was available. His only hope is that his first negotiation will produce a revenue pool large enough to at least make it a break even route. So stop wasting your time trying to compare an expanding metro area that has a growing economy with an expansive, mountainous, poorly accessible sparsely populated and appallingly depressed rural area whose majority of roads are unpaved with no cross pipes or catch basins making traveling them in winter a suicide mission. There is simply no comparison. [/QUOTE]
