### Iam a Diamond memberwith Delta Airlines and was affected severely when Delta pulled::t>ut

# of RH Ialmost ayear ago. There were several weeklytravelers that all gotto know each other on thoslMonday and Fridayflights in/out of RHI. The staftatthe RHI airport is also amazing, and I have been travelingfor 

### 17 years now. I have never seen a morewell-kept airportwith the best staff- from the luggage carriers to TSA- every single person there cared. Belowyou will see that the RHI airport has been keeping in touch with afew of us frequentflyers and has kept us upto date. The managementthere knowsthe moment a carrier comes in that will workwith Delta -we are there! With all ofthis being said, Itruly hopethatyou accept the Sky West offerthat connects via MSP. It offers all of us FF thattravel weekly, and have families to come hometo, the bestarray offlighttimes outthere. Please take mystrongly urged suggestion into consideration. Thank you foryourtime.

### Subject: Rhinelander/Oneida County Airport- Essential Air Service Update Iwould like to update you on the Essential Air Service (EAS) for the Rhinelander/Oneida County Airport (RHI). The bids forthe Airport's EAS have been received bythe U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).

1RHI was fortunate to havethree airline bids for the EAS. They are briefly summarized below, but a more detailed document is.attached. The three EAS bids: SkyWest Airlines, operating with a Delta Air Lines code-share on a Canadair Regional Jet 200 (CRJ). This is a 50 seat jet aircraft with two non-stop flights a day to Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP). Great Lakes Airlines submitted non-stop service utilizing 19-passenger Beech 1900D aircraft and interline aticketing and baggage agreements with American, Delta, Frontier, United, and U S Airways operating three flights dailyto MSP. Sovereign Air Inc. submitted a proposal for service with no code share to Chicago O'Hare International Airport, but they have not obtained the required operating authorityfrom eitherthe Federal Aviation Administration or the Department. If you wish to submit any comments to the U.S. Department of Transportation for their review prior to the award of the contract to one of the above airlines, the attached document provides details on doing so. Frontier Airlines will continue to provide service as required by the DOT until the new airline is up and operating in our market. While we do not have an exact date on this transition, we anticipate that the new airline that is awarded the contract will probably not be in our market until sometime between November and January. The DOT requires Frontier Airlines reservations that occur after the new airline comes in, to be re-accommodated on the new airline and/or refund of ticket.
. Thank you for your interest and continued support of the Rhinelander/Oneida County Airport. Sherrie Williamson Assistant Director Rhinelander/Oneida County Airport
