Before the United States Department of Transportation Washington, DC February 22, 2016 Essential Air Service at PAGE, ARIZONA under 49 U. S. C. 41731 et. seq. Docket OST-1997 -2694 This document contains the response of Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd. to Order Requesting Proposals 2017 -30 Great Lakes Aviation, Ltd. is pleased to submit these proposals to provide essential air transportation to Page, Arizona and the Lake Powell region. Our proposals provide conveniently timed schedules to our Phoenix, Los Angeles and Denver hubs, whereby passengers may utilize our code-share agreement with United Airlines. In addition to our codeshare agreement with United Airlines, Great Lakes maintains electronic interline ticketing and baggage agreements with American, Delta and United. Passengers will also be eligible for Delta Sky Miles Frequent Flyer program when travel is booked through Delta's sales channels. All of which will offer passengers traveling to and from these communities supplemental access to the domestic and international air transportation system. The Company has created a pilot domiciling program that facilitates a significantly improved quality of life by enabling pilots to return home every night. By not relying on pilots that routinely commute to a hub to originate their duty day a pilot can enjoy more time available to be home with family. This practice will improve the quality of service and contribute to improved reliability of service for the communities. Great Lakes is proposing two service alternatives for Page. The first proposal consists of Beech 1900 D service configured with 19 seats in a schedule that follows historical seasonal patterns. As a optional summer seasonal service the company would be prepared to offer a Regional Jet rate subject to additional US DOT and community negotiation regarding optimal scheduling and the airport meeting the additional certification requirements for a 50 seat regional jet.
