RAA 2011 <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>


Joint Message from<br />

Jim Rankin, RAA Chairman and<br />

Roger Cohen, RAA President<br />

Earning our “seat at the table”<br />

Jim Rankin<br />

Roger Cohen<br />

After US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood walked every inch of the RAA Exhibit Hall this May in Nashville, he stepped to the podium and<br />

affirmed what our record number of attendees were already feeling.<br />

“Regional airlines have a seat at the table when we make aviation policy,” LaHood told attendees. The first sitting Cabinet member to attend an<br />

RAA Convention, the DOT Secretary endorsed RAA as “a willing and enthusiastic partner,” accurately describing what the association and our<br />

members have achieved through our collective efforts over several highly challenging years.<br />

The clear vision and strong voice of regional airlines have made their mark. From RAA CEOs sharing equal status with mainline airline executives,<br />

union officials and other industry leaders on DOT’s Future of Aviation Commission (FACA) and FAA’s NextGen Advisory Commission (NAC) to<br />

regional airline officials serving on—and oftentimes chairing—nearly a dozen Aviation Rulemaking Committees (ARCs).<br />

RAA Fatigue Study to provide groundbreaking safety science<br />

Perhaps RAA’s most enduring contribution to the aviation community—our groundbreaking Strategic Safety Initiative Fatigue Study—is about to<br />

enter its critical Phase II. With the strong support of member airlines, flight crews and training providers, independent researchers from the worldrenowned<br />

Washington State University Sleep Science Center will be gathering real-time, real-world science to determine if and how multi-segment<br />

flight operations might impact fatigue. The science gleaned from RAA’s study will help airlines and pilots worldwide better understand, manage,<br />

and mitigate—if not eliminate—fatigue. Our goal is simple, prevent accidents, by extending and expanding the safest period in airline history.<br />

Flying safely is the most important, but not the only, reason RAA airlines have earned a “seat at the table”. Despite a struggling economy,<br />

skyrocketing fuel costs and airline consolidation across all sectors, regional airlines have solidified our pre-eminent status, flying more than half<br />

the nation’s scheduled flights with nearly 75% of US airports relying on regional airlines exclusively. As illustrated in this year’s <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>,<br />

the nation’s regional carriers (and RAA’s 30 members provide virtually all the service) have grown in nearly every category. Take a look at the<br />

following statistics.<br />

• In 2010, regionals carried 163.5 million passengers, up 2.5% from 2009; RPMs increased 3.9% to 75.8 billion and ASMs totaled 99.1 billion, up<br />

1.6% compared with 2009 totals.<br />

• Average load factor was 76.45%, a 2.3% gain compared with 2009, and the average seating capacity of regional airlines increased to 56 seats,<br />

compared with 55 seats in 2009. Average passenger trip length grew 1.5% to 464 mile flights.<br />

• Regionals served 673 US airports and at 498 airports (74%), regionals provided the only scheduled flights.<br />

RAA and AAAE host first ever “Airline-Community Leadership Summit”<br />

It’s a serious responsibility to serve as the only link to the global economy for so many Americans, and it’s one of the reasons we’re piggybacking<br />

our Fall Meeting onto a first ever “Airline-Community Leadership Summit” December 5-7 in Memphis. Co-sponsored by RAA and the American<br />

Association of Airport Executives (AAAE), leaders from airlines and communities from across the country will share best practices on how to<br />

address safety, security, environmental and operational issues – and how to maintain efficient, economic scheduled service to those more than 600<br />

communities.<br />

This “seat at the table” couldn’t have been achieved without the long and loyal support of the extended RAA family, particularly our Associate<br />

Members. The resources, people and time these 200 companies have invested in RAA has kept us strong and growing for more than 35 years, and<br />

we know we can count on them as we address tomorrow’s challenges.<br />

So, please take your rightful seat alongside us – in Memphis this Fall and certainly at our 2012 <strong>Annual</strong> Convention May 21-24 in Minneapolis.<br />

Thanks again for all your support, and hope to see you soon.<br />

RAA 2011 <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>


Table of Contents<br />

The acknowledgement of key aviation<br />

stakeholders—both in private entities and<br />

government agencies—that the regional<br />

airline industry has secured a “seat at the<br />

table” when aviation policy is made is<br />

the cover theme of the RAA 2011 <strong>Annual</strong><br />

<strong>Report</strong>. You’ll read in greater detail on<br />

page one how the association has safely<br />

and professionally made this “arrival”<br />

with regionals now flying more than half<br />

of all US flights, carrying more than a<br />

quarter of all passengers, and with 75%<br />

of US communities relying exclusively on<br />

regionals for their airline service. Our<br />

OAG statistics in this year’s <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

reveal the more than 2,600 aircraft flown<br />

by regional airlines—both regional jets<br />

and turboprops—now have an average<br />

seating capacity of 56 seats.<br />

Industry Statistics<br />

“We’ve proven as an industry that even through tough economic times...<br />

regional airlines are recognized by industry stakeholders for all of our<br />

efforts – in advancing safety and contributing to the overall reliability and<br />

professionalism of this nation’s air transportation system...the regional<br />

airline industry is more than a business to us. It’s a passion with well over a<br />

half of my fellow RAA Board members being licensed pilots or mechanics…<br />

some of us even currently rated on our own fleets’ aircraft types.”<br />

RAA 2011 <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>


“My message is simple. As long as I’m Secretary of Transportation you’ll have a<br />

seat at the table when we make aviation policy. The success of the aviation<br />

industry hinges on the confidence of the American people that they will<br />

fly from one origin to their destination as safely as possible. Thousands of<br />

people got up today, went to an airport, got on a regional jet, got to their<br />

destinations safely, and didn’t think that much about the safety, because all of<br />

us are thinking about it–all of you are thinking about it… We have the safest<br />

form of transportation right here in the United States, thanks to all of you and<br />

thanks to the dedicated people that work for you.”<br />

• Based on a February 2002 FAA legal interpretation provided to the NTSB, any 14 CFR<br />

135 operation conducted with no revenue passengers aboard will be considered an<br />

on-demand flight operation.This interpretation will be applied to accidents beginning<br />

with the year 2002.It has not been retroactively applied to 36 accidents, nine of them<br />

fatal that occurred during the period 1983 - 2001.<br />

• U.S. air carriers operating under 14 CFR Part 135 were previously referred to as<br />

Scheduled and Nonscheduled Services. Current tables now refer to these same air<br />

carries as Commuter Operations and On-Demand Operations, respectively, in order<br />

to be consistent with definitions in14 CFR 119.3 and terminology used in 14 CFR<br />

135.1. On-Demand Part 135 operations encompass charters, air taxis, air tours, or<br />

Industry Statistics<br />

RAA’s industry leading<br />

Strategic Safety Initiative<br />

The Regional Airline Association and its member airlines launched a<br />

Strategic Safety Initiative in June 2009 to study and recommend actions<br />

responsive to challenges facing the airline industry. This initiative has<br />

four elements.<br />

Our Strength<br />

is Avionic Repairs<br />

1. Review Safety Procedures<br />

The Regional Airline Association will form a task force comprised of<br />

safety directors and operations directors from the regional airlines<br />

to review safety procedures, giving particular attention to issues or<br />

procedures cited by the NTSB as a contributing factor to any accident.<br />

2. Study Impact of Fatigue<br />

RAA will commission a study to look at the impact of fatigue<br />

and other human factors on pilot performance. The study will<br />

be conducted by an independent and expert organization, in all<br />

likelihood a university with a respected aviation program. The study<br />

will be framed by a Strategic Safety Advisory Board comprised of<br />

industry experts drawn from the ranks of academia, industry, and<br />

safety regulators.<br />

3. Fatigue Awareness Management Program<br />

The Regional Airline Association will create a fatigue awareness<br />

management program for use by its member airlines.<br />

4. Recommendations<br />

We are committed to working with all industry stakeholders including<br />

government agencies, Congress and labor to determine ways we can<br />

improve safety:<br />

a. Create a Single Database of Pilot Records<br />

Requiring the FAA to maintain a single, integrated database of pilot<br />

records would provide airlines with critical, real-time information<br />

about pilot qualifications and performance, thereby improving<br />

the process of recruiting, hiring, and training new pilots. Airlines<br />

currently reference multiple databases during the hiring process.<br />

b. Conduct Random Fatigue Tests<br />

RAA recommends exploring with FAA and all industry stakeholders<br />

the concept of random fatigue tests on pilots to help ensure that<br />

pilots are indeed rested before flying.<br />

c. Examine Commuting<br />

We believe it would be prudent for Congress, working with all<br />

stakeholders, to examine commuting in depth, including the<br />

possibility of limiting commuting time prior to beginning a work<br />

assignment.<br />

d. Extend Background-Check Timeframe<br />

Under current law, an airline conducting a background check on a<br />

pilot can only review the last five years of the pilot’s safety records,<br />

qualifications, and training. Extending the review period from five<br />

to 10 years will help airlines identify safety risks.<br />

e. Audit Cockpit Voice Recordings<br />

Currently, cockpit voice recordings can be reviewed only as an<br />

accident investigation tool. Yet, an initiative permitting safety<br />

experts to conduct random audits to track trends and mine data<br />

could provide valuable information before an accident occurs.<br />

f. Improve Tracking and Analysis of Check Rides<br />

Though every airline pilot is required to pass frequent checkrides<br />

during their service, the FAA and the airlines may be able<br />

to increase the level of safety through more detailed analysis of<br />

this testing over the entirety of a pilot’s career. By working with<br />

regulators and the employee groups, the industry may develop a<br />

better methodology for assessing pilot performance and instituting<br />

remedial training programs that will ensure a higher level of safety.<br />

For a sure thing, turn to Aero. Our strengths? More than<br />

four decades of experience, highly trained and skilled<br />

technicians who know how to get the job done, and<br />

today’s most advanced technology and testing equipment.<br />

It all leads to a quality repair center you can rely on now<br />

and in the future – knocking out your repair challenges<br />

once and for all.<br />

“I see a day when the regional carrier is the face of a large and growing number of<br />

small communities and not the mainline carrier as it is today...The regional sector will<br />

increasingly become a large and larger face of the domestic market...but it will be done<br />

with an increasing level of flying being done ‘at risk’. I can see a day when the regional<br />

carriers of today are buyers of mainline domestic hubs. Consolidation inside the regional<br />

sector is building companies with significant scope and scale on the operating side...”<br />

LEDYARD KING<br />

WASHINGTON — The federal program that for more<br />

than three decades has provided commercial air service<br />

to scores of remote communities across the country has<br />

routinely been in the sights of Washington budget cutters<br />

— and has always survived largely intact.<br />

However, the Essential Air Service has never faced the<br />

kind of fiscal pressures now roiling Washington.<br />

Last year’s election brought in a wave of lawmakers<br />

eager to slash any government program that seems faintly<br />

exorbitant or unnecessary. A bill the House passed earlier<br />

this year to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration<br />

called for elimination of the program by 2014, but that is<br />

stalled by Senate opposition.<br />

By Kevin Begos and Adrain Saintz August 12,<br />

2011 6:15 am<br />

(AP) - On some days, the pilots with<br />

Great Lakes Airlines fire up a twin-engine<br />

Beechcraft 1900 at the Ely, Nev., airport<br />

and depart for Las Vegas without a single<br />

passenger on board. And the federal government<br />

pays them to do it.<br />

Federal statistics reviewed by The Associated<br />

Press show that in 2010, just 227<br />

passengers flew out of Ely while the airline<br />

got $1.8 million in subsidies. The travelers<br />

paid $70 to $90 for a one-way ticket. The<br />

cost to taxpayers for each ticket: $4,107.<br />

Ely is one of 153 rural communities where<br />

airlines get subsidies through the $200<br />

million Essential Air Service program,<br />

and one of 13 that critics say should be<br />

eliminated from it. Some call the spending<br />

a boondoggle, but others see it as a critical<br />

financial lifeline to ensure economic stability<br />

in rural areas.<br />

Steve Smith, executive director of the<br />

February 15, 2011<br />

Dear Representative ___:<br />

We would like to express our appreciation and support for this Committee in<br />

making FAA Reauthorization a top priority in the 112<br />

legislation is vital to moving our nation’s air transportation network forward.<br />

While each of our organizations have unique perspectives on HR 658, The<br />

Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization and Reform Act, we are united<br />

in our support for the Essential Air Service program. We urge you to eliminate<br />

provisions to cut and ultimately end the Essential Air Service program at airports<br />

in the lower 48 United States.<br />

th Congress. We believe this<br />

While over three decades have passed since the program’s inception, small and<br />

rural communities do not rely any less on commercial air service than they did in<br />

1978, when Congress promised them airline deregulation would not disconnect<br />

them from the nation’s air transportation network.<br />

Cutting Essential Air Service would serve as a deathblow to the economic health<br />

of hundreds of small communities across the nation. It is unimaginable that a<br />

business would start up in, or relocate to a community where the closest<br />

commercial airport is located over two, four, six, or even eight hours away. The<br />

loss of commercial air service at these communities would likewise crush existing<br />

businesses and would cause even greater numbers of doctors and other skilled<br />

professionals – already in short supply in rural areas – to migrate to less isolated<br />

communities.<br />

While the consequences of cutting this program will be borne most heavily by<br />

those passengers left without air service, reducing the volume of air travel from<br />

these communities will carry negative economic consequences for the entire air<br />

transportation industry. Of the 435 commercial airports outside of Alaska and<br />

Hawaii, 106 of those airports receive air service only through the Essential Air<br />

Service program. Eliminating the program at those airports would shut down air<br />

travel to and from nearly one quarter of our nation’s commercial airports. The<br />

economic impact on our nation’s air transportation network, which provides<br />

more than 10.9 million direct U.S. jobs and serves over 750 million passengers<br />

annually, would be substantial. Moreover, eliminating the program also<br />

eliminates the jobs of thousands of employees of those airports and the airlines<br />

Gannett News<br />

…“This is not an airline program.<br />

This is a program for communities<br />

so that they can maintain<br />

their connection to the global<br />

marketplace,” said Roger Cohen,<br />

president of the Regional Airline<br />

Association, which counts EAS<br />

carriers among its members.<br />

Unlike skeptics who point to<br />

high costs and near-empty planes,<br />

Cohen said the latest tussle over the<br />

program suggests how important<br />

EAS is viewed in Congress because<br />

lawmakers were “willing to go to<br />

the mat” to protect it.<br />

Associated Press<br />

…Faye Malarkey Black, a vice<br />

president for the Regional Airline<br />

Association, said she believes few<br />

federal programs accomplish as<br />

much for $200 million as EAS does.<br />

“They call it essential for a<br />

reason,” she said. She said her<br />

industry group supports “common<br />

sense adjustments” for eligibility,<br />

but added that rural communities<br />

already struggle to attract and keep<br />

doctors and other professionals.<br />

“If you take away air service, who<br />

wants to live in those communities?”<br />

passengers enplaned in that particular state; 2) total number of monthly airline departures and 3) percentage of regional flights for each scheduled service<br />

airport in the state, 4) percentage of enplanementsfor each airport. This year’s <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> also includes 5) Essential Air Service compensation numbers listed by<br />

carrier and community for those states included in this government funded program. The data has been compiled by DOT.<br />

History of the Essential Air Service Program<br />

The EAS program was initially authorized for 10 years with funding provided by the General Fund of the US Treasury. It was modified and extended by the Airport and<br />

Airway Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1987 and was later made permanent as part of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 1996, with a standing annual appropriation of<br />

$50 million, funded by foreign airline overflight fees. Subsequent legislation has supplemented this funding with additional appropriations from other FAA revenue sources,<br />

including the Airport and Airways Trust Fund. The program has undergone numerous criteria adjustments since its inception, mainly limiting eligibility. Until the most recent<br />

eligibility changes, communities were considered ineligible for subsidized air service if they were located within 70 driving miles of an FAA-designated Large or Medium Hub<br />

airport or if their per-passenger subsidies exceeded $200, with communities located 210 or more highway miles from the nearest Medium or Large Hub airport exempt from<br />

the subsidy cap. The 21st temporary FAA Reauthorization, passed on August 5, 2011 in an unusual recess-time procedure, included further tweaks to the program: the<br />

mileage criteria was adjusted from 70 to 90 miles and subsidies above $1000 per passenger were prohibited. At press time, details of these changes were still emerging. In the<br />

meantime, DOT Secretary Ray LaHood told Congress he retains authority to grant waivers to communities facing cuts.<br />

Better every year<br />

Dear Regional Aviation Friends,<br />

We have enjoyed a great year of working together, highlighted by an extraordinary RAA <strong>Annual</strong> Convention in<br />

Nashville. The presence of DOT Secretary Ray LaHood at the <strong>Annual</strong> Convention, plus his participation in the<br />

President’s walk- through of the exhibit hall demonstrated just how important regional aviation has become, and<br />

how the highest officials in the US government recognize and appreciate our contributions.<br />

The credit for this goes to the RAA Officers and Board, chaired by Jim Rankin, and to the RAA Airline Members.<br />

Indeed, the success of the spring show depends, to a large extent, on the presence of the airline executives both<br />

walking the exhibit floor and actively participating in the Purchasing Forum.<br />

Significant progress was made over the last year with the RAA Officers and Board on the right positioning and<br />

participation in the RAA activities of the Associate Members and their representative body the Associate Member<br />

Council – AMC. There is a clear will within the RAA to make better use of the expertise and resources existing with<br />

the Associate Members: whether it involves labor issues, environmental protection, FAA certification or developing<br />

and launching Next Gen.<br />

AMC awards three aviation scholarships<br />

The AMC has continued to play a major role in retaining and increasing RAA membership. It has once again<br />

made the Purchasing Forum at the <strong>Annual</strong> Convention a success—with the 2011 event marking the Forum’s<br />

10th anniversary. The 14-member AMC has served as a type of “think tank” on the future of the RAA <strong>Annual</strong><br />

Convention, and has raised funds, through the silent auction and the golf tournament, for scholarships to promising<br />

aviation students. In 2011, the AMC granted scholarships to three such students and hopes to grow this number<br />

going forward<br />

All of the above elements contribute to “closing the virtual loop” of Vendors/OEMs/Sponsors making things<br />

budget-wise possible. More importantly, uniting all these regional aviation forces make this industry safer, stronger<br />

and more prosperous, and for this, I thank all my fellow AMC members for their excellent contributions and work<br />

throughout this year. The progress made in all areas is the result of a constructive dialogue between the Officers, the<br />

Board, the RAA staff and the AMC; and it is therefore important to have a strong, healthy and sustained AMC. A<br />

number of positions in the AMC will become available this fall, so please consider applying for a seat in an effort to<br />

Precise Flight has designed a full line of Pulselite units<br />

specifically for the airline industry. The Pulselite connects<br />

to the existing light (landing, taxi, recognition, etc.) of<br />

your aircraft. By alternately pulsing these lights, aircraft’s<br />

recognition is greatly enhanced. Along with increased<br />

safety, lamp life is extended as well. Additionally, because<br />

of the lower operating temperatures, the life of lens<br />

covers are also extended. Testing by the US Department<br />

of Agriculture has shown that birds notice vehicles with<br />

pulsing lights quicker than those with steady lights. The<br />

product is used by more than 250 major corporations<br />

in the United States and installed on more than 5,000<br />

aircraft and rotorcraft worldwide. Pulselites are factory<br />

options with British Aerospace, Falcon Jet, Gulfstream,<br />

Cessna and Sikorsky. The FAA has installed Pulselite units<br />

on their entire fleet of aircraft.<br />

and a world leader in turboprop, turbofan and turboshaft<br />

engines having delivered more than 55,000 engines<br />

powering over 21,000 aircraft worldwide. P&WC has<br />

long established itself as a major contributor to the<br />

success of the regional airlines with its PT6A, PW100<br />

and the PW306B engines. Success began with the PT6A<br />

laying a solid foundation for turboprop growth in such<br />

19 passenger turboprops as Raytheon’s 1900D. Early in<br />

the new millennium, the 5000th PW100 was delivered<br />

and today the PW118/120, PW123/124, PW127 and<br />

PW150 Series engines play a leading role in the regional<br />

turboprops’ leadership in operating economics. PW100<br />

engines power more than 80% of modern 30-70<br />

passenger aircraft from ATR, Bombardier, Embraer and<br />

other manufacturers. The PW306B’s entry into service<br />

in the Fairchild 328Jet marked P&WC’s first regional jet<br />

application and activities continue towards delivering a<br />

new “game-changing” PW800 turbofan later this decade<br />

for the next generation airline jets.<br />

innovative rigid design of our systems decreases free fall<br />

distance, lessening the chance of workers being injured<br />

engineered for aircraft facility applications. System<br />

configurations include permanently installed systems,<br />

as well as portable systems. SPANCO Rigid Lifelines is<br />

fall hazard, an event that can occur during a fall and<br />

result in costly damage to the side of a plane. All of our<br />

systems utilize easy rolling trolleys that allow employees<br />

to walk unrestrained, and keep the fall protection<br />

overhead at all times. All SPANCO Rigid Lifelines systems<br />

WE PROMISED<br />

HIGH<br />

DISPATCH<br />

RELIABILITY<br />

REALITY CHECK.<br />

WE DELIVERED 99.4%.<br />

Now in operation with Brit Air and Air Nostrum, the 100-seat CRJ1000 NextGen aircraft is delivering 99.4% dispatch<br />

reliability and exceeding a 99.9% schedule completion rate on average in its first five months of revenue service. That’s not all.<br />

Fuel burn is 4% better than promised which provides it with a 16% advantage over its competitor based on a typical 500 nautical<br />

mile sector. With cash operating costs 3% lower and range 6% farther than promised, plus the comfort of a NextGen cabin and<br />

significant carbon savings, the CRJ1000 NextGen aircraft promises more and delivers more. www.crjnextgen.com<br />
