Airlines In Trouble

[Just Plane Crazy]

How many and which of the current Regional and National US airlines are in trouble and might not survive the next 6 month?

Expect Air Sunshine (based out of Puerto Rico) to be one of the first to go. There is also word that Rio Grande is in a tight spot, but they have some decent equity.

Does Air Sunshine qualify as a FAA121 or 129 carrier?

Part 135 actually... they've had a few too many accidents in the Bahamas, including one last year that caused the Bahamians to BAN their operations, yet they did a gear-up landing in Marsh Harbour last month...

DOT and FAA are sniffing around South Florida at "illegals" and so forth.. some 402 operators are getting nailed on weight & balance too (Cape Air, FCA, Island Express, Twin Air to name a few..)
