Keep in mind that very few, if any people in this thread know how HQ sees the situation. Speculation is just that: speculation.

My speculation would be that HQ sees terminating the regional as a worst-case scenario-- regardless of the financials. I'm sure every feasible effort will be made on the part of HQ and NVFIRST to continue the regional-- and seeing the enthusiasm some posting in this thread have for LVR gives me heart that it will continue.

Personally, LVR is on the list of regionals I hope to go to someday.
