It means eliminating them all with the exception of the NE corridor because Bush has set aside 360K for that route.

360K is nothing. Also there is no need to set aside any money for that route. Its profitable.

That's not true........its revenues cover 90% of its costs.

The LA-SD route is close and probably wouldn't go away either.

With LA-SD, revenues cover 80% of its costs.
