Dear Mr. Murnane:

      We have reviewed the above referenced filing and have the
following comments.  Where expanded or revised disclosure is
requested, you may comply with these comments in future filings.
If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our
comments are inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary.  In some
of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we
may better understand your disclosure.  Please be as detailed as
necessary in your explanation.

      Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filings.
We look forward to working with you in these respects and welcome
any questions you may have about any aspects of our review.

1. We note your disclosure that substantially all of your passenger
   revenue is derived from code-share agreements with United Airlines,
   America West Airlines, Inc. and US Airways, Inc.  We also note your
   disclosures from various other sections of your filing that US
   Airways has emerged from bankruptcy and will not assume your code-
   share agreement and, as a result, you are expanding your regional
   jet code-share agreement with United Airlines and entered into a new
   code-share agreement with Delta Airlines.  We also note that United
   Airlines and Delta Airlines are both in bankruptcy.  In light of
   this, we believe that you should include a reasonably detailed
   discussion in liquidity and capital resources of your assessment of
   the likelihood that these airlines will not assume your code-share
   agreements when they emerge from bankruptcy and the potential impact
   to your liquidity and your plans to mitigate the effect of such a
   negative outcome.

2. We note your disclosure that you have leased nine Beechcraft 1900D
   aircraft to Big Sky Transportation Co. and four to Gulfstream
   International Airlines.  Please revise your filing to include your
   accounting policies for such arrangements.  In addition, you should
   provide in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, a
   schedule of the minimum future rentals on non cancelable leases as
   of the date of the most recent balance sheet presented, in the
   aggregate and for each of the five succeeding fiscal years.  For
   guidance, refer to paragraphs 19 and 23(b) & (c) of SFAS 13.

Contractual Obligations, page 37

3. We note your table presenting your contractual obligations.
   Because the purpose of the table is to clearly show your future
   cash requirements, we believe that you should include scheduled
   interest payments in the table given the materiality of your
   interest.  If certain interest rates are unknown, management may use
   its judgment in determining an appropriate methodology to estimate
   the interest payments, e.g., apply the currently applicable interest
   rate to calculate the value of future payments (and disclose the
   methodology utilized.)

4. In accordance with paragraph 40(c) of SFAS 128, please disclose
   the amount of any securities that could potentially dilute basic
   EPS in the future that were not included in the computation of
   diluted EPS, as it is antidilutive to the period(s) presented.
