@ThatOne9WPlen I know I said that we replaced the ATR-42s with DH8Cs, which we did, but how profitable for you think an ATR combi would be if we based them at ANC to fly to the more remote places?

We already replaced those with our 737-200s which are much better for the area

This is pretty much all weâve got.
If you want to take a shot at it, go ahead, but trains arenât really popular here. Cities are too far apart for train service to be a reasonable form of transit. Theyâre usually used as a tourist experience to see the landscape.

yes this

For short routes between cities, sure. Weâve got the Acela Express between Boston and D.C. A long range high speed train isnât really viable though. There wouldnât be enough demand to break even on the infrastructure youâd need for something like that.
Plus, if you weâre to do trans-con routes, youâd have to go through the Rockies and Sierras, and you wonât be going much faster than like 40mph through those.

To put that into context, I can drive from Grand Junction to Denver in about 4.5hrs. On the train, it takes almost 8hrs.

That varies. From the station until the Dubuque canyon, youâll probably be doing 65mph. In the canyon, youâre 50 tops. Once you get out of the canyon, youâll do about 80mph until you hit Glenwood. After that, you wonât exceed 60, and that drops to probably 40 or 45 in the mountains.
