Potomac Airlines has announced it will put an operations base at the Roanoke Regional Airport.
That means dispatch, crew scheduling, pilot base, and maintenance will be based in Roanoke .
A Potomac Air representative says the company is hiring pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, dispatchers and crew schedulers immediately.
The airline expects to begin operations and flights as early as November.

(Nat Sound up of Rock Throwing)
The violence festered through the night in Jerusalem, Nazareth and
Hebron. Palestinian teenagers threw rocks at Israeli security forces
who fired back with tear gas and automatic weapons.
An Israeli-Arab man died during last night's violence from a gunshot
wound to the chest. And Israeli police blame Palestinians for the
shooting death of an American born rabbi found along a West Bank
Highway. The crisis erupted some two weeks ago after Israeli hard liner
Ariel Sharon visited a tomb revered by Palestinians and Jews.
The White House has asked leaders on both sides of the conflict to meet
for peace talks to be led by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
The Russian Foreign Minister is in the region, as is Secretary General
Kofi Annan who is seen as the representative of international law.
(sot/Yasser Arafat, Palestinian Chairman)
"There is an Israeli war declared on us. And he is the representative
of international legality. He is the man who has to implement the
security Council resolution, that was taken by unanimity."

On another front, the whereabouts of three Israeli soldiers kidnapped
by Hezbollah guerrillas is further complicating the peace process. The
soldiers could be used in a trade for Palestinian leaders currently held
by Israel.

[SUPER=04-January]
More than four million Virginians have already registered - up from 3-point-3 million in 19-96.
The state board of elections attributes the increase to the "motor voter" program - which allows voters to register at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Registration also tends to be higher in a presidential election year.
But the fact that more than 75-percent of eligible voters have registered doesn't mean the number of people who actually vote will go up.
