March 9, 2000 | Objections of the City of Dodge, Kansas to Order to Show Cause 00-2-18 | 90-Day Notice to Terminate at Silver City, New Mexico; Kingman, Arizona; Goodland, Kansas and Lamar, Colorado; Great Bend, Kansas; Hays, Kansas; Liberal, KS; Dodge City, Kansas; Garden City, Kansas; Salina, Kansas |
With regard to the present Show Cause Order, the City of Dodge City has no problem with the scheduling of its Denver service through Liberal, as opposed to Garden City. Although this service pattern may increase the flight time to Denver, such increase appears to be minimal. The timing of the flights provided would appear to correspond to the bank departures and arrivals at Denver. As for the reliability of the service the carrier appears to have resolved the crew shortage difficulties which resulted in 61 flight cancellations of Dodge City in 1999.
The City, however, has serious concern with the lack of a third weekday flight. Dodge City, over the years of its participation in the EAS program, has consistently received only two weekday round trip flights to Denver, the minimum required service under the program.
Counsel: Dodge City, Ken Strobel, 316.225.4168
