Mr. Martin: Kyle Long <Kyle@pahlkelawgroup.com> Monday, November 03, 2014 9:11 PM Martin, Michael (OST) Support for Aerodynamics EAS bid

I am writingyou today to voice my supportforAerodynamics, Inc. to service the route between DEN and BFF. I have been practicing in Western Nebraska for more than ten years. I have personally experienced the problems that Great Lakes has caused people travelling to and from our community. Given the unreliable nature ofthis carrier ourfirm has notflown out ofScottsblufffor business during the past three years. Instead when ourattorneys must travel we commit to six hours ofdrivingjustto getto an airport. Even when Great Lakes has managed to getflights in and out of Scottsbluff, they often have been scheduled in such away that it is impossible to make a connection in Denver in an efficient manner. Typically, ifyou wanted to arrive in Scottsbluffon the last flight you would usually have to leave you departure city on a mid-morning flight. Thank you, Kyle Long

I wantto express my support to regional west airport. This airport is an integral partto the ScottsbluffGering community. Travel is very assesible to our community by business representatives politicians, service people, family and friends. Denver airport is 3 1/2 hours from Scottsbluff. Driving to Denver and parking which has become very expensive, hotels are all a hassle. Iwould much rather support mycommunity and keep our airport up and running.

### I'm writing this email in support ofEssential Air service for the Scottsbluff"WesternNebraskaRegional airport". Having the need to travel withmyjob, I preferto fly out ofScottsbluffto avoid the longtrekback home once arriving in Denver.
Having access to such a servicehere inScottsbluffis crucial to businesses coming to WesternNebraska. When working with Economic Developmentprojects, this remains atop priority for prospects. Recruitmenthinges on having access to "quality airline service", "on-time, every-time flights" andpriced to be beneficial to use the service once available.
Recently, WesternNebraskaRegional Airport held a special board meeting to discuss the Essential Air Service bid. Aerodynamics Inc. (ADI) is the recommendationthat will be sentto the US Dept. ofTransportation.

I supportthis recommendation for WesternNebraskaconsumers.
Sincerely,



## Terrt:J R.C!jewtcV!

Having areliable service such as ADI will enhance our growth and sustain ourcommunity business and community leaders byreaching outto others along withtransactingbusiness on a dayto day basis. Presently, my Partner and I travel numerous times throughoutthe year and have been forced to drive to Denverto make connections with ourflights and to returnto Scottsbluff/Gering. The travel timeby caris approximately 3 hours one way to the DenverInternational Airport (DIA). Againwithreturn flights and travel back we spend another 3 hours traveling. Having areliable airtransportation would significantly increase ourproductivity. This does notincludednumerous times we have notbeen able getthe connectionback to Scottsbluffand was forced to rent a vehicle to returnhome to meet our schedule. Essential Air Service is the life bloodto the economic community. This serves manypurposes up and beyond economic development. I therefore respectfully request approval ofAerodynamics, Inc.

### .:.. =;< Air Service for Scottsbluff, Nebraska
Dear Mr. Martin- I am writing to you in support ofair service for Scottsbluff, Nebraska. The Panhandle Research and Extension Center faculty and educators do an extensive amount oftraveling duringthe year throughout the United States and numerous foreign countries but also to Lincoln, Nebraska where the main campus for UNL is located. The closest hub is DIA in Denver, Colorado and our employees have had to travel by car the majority ofthe time, to catch theirflights at DIA because Great Lakes, the current carrier, is having difficulty in keeping flights running. Air service forour area is vital to the growing economic climate ofourarea but also, in our case, to bring in researchers from around the world who come to collaborate with us. We also have numerous graduate students from other countries who spend theirsummers here working. Aside from the working aspect, ourcommunity has many retirees who travel to see family and would ratherfly than drive. I appreciate this opportunityto write to you and look forward to hearing what your final decision will be. Thank you.

### Subject: Maren Chaloupka <MLC@chhsclaw.net> Monday, November 03, 2014 3:49 PM Martin, Michael (OST) Western Nebraska Regional Airport .··q Mr. Martin, my name is Maren Lynn Chaloupka. I am an attorney whose practice is based out ofScottsbluff, Nebraska, but who must travel frequently to otherstates for work. Iwould estimate that Iam in an airplane at least monthly, and usually more often than that. At times, Ialso need to bring professionals to Scottsbluffvia airtravel. Western Nebraska Regional Airport is about athree-hour drive from Denver. Local residents do notfly to Denver as theirfinal destination-- if Denver is theirfinal destination, they drive. The only reason to flyto Denver is to connect with flights from DIA to other destinations. This had been my pattern until about two years ago, when the regional carrier serving Western Nebraska Regional Airporttook a serious nosedive in reliability, causing me to miss several connecting flights in a row. The last two years ofGreat Lakes Airways' "service" have completelyturned me offof using a perfectlygood local airport. Great Lakes feels no need to keep its posted schedule, eitherflying from Denverto Scottsblufforflying Scottsbluffto Denver. As you likely know, Great Lakes has canceled more than**~0%** of its flights to and from Scottsbluff atvarious times over the last two years. This makes flying to DIA to catch connecting flights an enormous gamble. It is also intolerable for business owners who need to bring people to Scottsblufffor workvia airtravel from Denver. Iam notthe only business ownerwho has had to beg forforgiveness from professionals who either suddenly had to rent a car in Denver and drive like hell to Scottsbluff, orelse had to rent acar in Scottsbluffand drive like hell to Denver (while rescheduling a connecting flight). We are relieved thatthe local airport authority has received and approved a bid from Aerodynamics, Inc. We would appreciate FAA's approval of EAS funding so that our airport may accept the bid, and we as local professionals may have a credible airline serving our business community.

Please accept this email as a letter of support forWestern Nebraska Regional Airport and air service in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. My colleagues and I rely on our airport for regular business travel. Loss ofthis service in our region would be extremely detrimental to us as individuals and to our company. Today, we are able to fly to Denver in an hour and work for a couple hours while waiting for our nextflight. The inability to fly from Scottsbluffwould replace the current 1 hour flight and 2 hours ofwork time with 4 hours oftravel by vehicle - a significant loss of productive time. In addition to my individual appreciation for our airport, on a larger scale, I believe loss ofour air service would be a crushing blow to local economic development. It would be quite difficult to attract new companies without air service in the region. The impact here is not only on Scottsbluff, but also on the entire Nebraska Panhandle. Finally, I point out that we have an excellent facility. I have not seen another airport of its size with the same quality of building and staff. It would be such awaste to lose air service at such a facility. Please feel free to reach outto me with any questions. I hope I have conveyed how critical air service is to our community. Thank you!

_._, RE: Revision to Western Nebraska Airport j**~** :

I am writingthis letterto recommend thatyour department approve ADI as the Essential Air Service carrierfor Western Nebraska Regional Airport. Overthe years, Great Lakes has served us well. However, with the new pilot requirement and passenger limitation the service has been less than acceptable. I attended the meeting where the executives from ADI were present. Their attitude was very progressive in wanting to eventually make the route self-sufficient without subsidies. Therefore, atthis time, Iwould hope that approval would be possible for a new carrierto Scottsbluff. Ifyou have further questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 308-635-1111. Respectfully
