Obviously havent heard any of that here but I'm sure the conversation of merging any combination of the 135 Certs that GMR owns has happened.  Most folks involved in the aviation side know that you never give up a clean 135 cert as getting them from the FAA especially now is a long drawn out process.  Plus if you have any enforcements that potentially climb to the point of surrendering a certificate then having your assets divided across a few certs keeps damage control to a minimum.  I'm sure the bean counters look at the various DO, CP and DOM salaries while its tempting to eliminate an extra 6 or 9 of those I dont think they would pull the trigger.  MTC has leadership directly with GMR so before they decided to break ground on a new simulator facility I'm sure someone got the info that they wouldnt just be pulling the plug and if it was going to go the other way they would absorb the others into the MTC cert not the AE.
