CHQ's new CRJ's When do they arrive?

[dueguard1]

Any CHQ folks can tell me when do your new CRJ'S start arriving??? Has any new trainig/upgrades began for this new flying? By the way what bases will these aircraft go to?

 

[BoilerUP]

There are some already on property. Bases are SDF, IAH and CRP (???) The initial cadre of CAs & CKA have been trained and are doing proving runs; first group of FOs is finishing up sim now (so my friend in that class tells me).

What I can't wait for is the first thread once "somebody" flies on CHQ ConConx. I can see it now. The captain made terrible announcements, the "service" was not up to par to XJT. The FO had spikey hair, and did his walkaround with a cell phone and ipod hanging off his belt.

I'm starting the bidding at 3 pages. Call it a preemptive bet.

I believe they start on Jan 7. I give it until Jan 8 for a CHQ ConConx bashing thread.

The New Year will bring more of the same for FI I fear.

The first flight will have 20 XJT jumpseaters, all hoping to ride up front and critique the crew!

By the way, we have unlimited JS, so welcome aboard XJT folks!

had a CHQ jumpseater the other day say that the FAA is about had it with the whole CRJ program. I guess they haven't been able to get up to par yet. Highly likely that they will not meet the Jan date with all the a/c.

one has been sitting daily at the B term hardstands at IAH doing proving runs...actually kind of painted with CAL colors, minus the globe and wording of course.

I'll see your 3 pages, and raise you 3 pages more.

CHQ isnt flying as cal connection, they are flying as cal express, same as expressjet.

I'll add my two cents. Those CRJs are far from new (though they are new to Chautauqua), they are old ACA/Independance airplanes. It seems that almost every CRJ operator now has at least a few of these birds. What a shame. I shake my head every time I see an ex-blue ridger.

I didn't fly for ACA but wanted too. I was put in the "pool" about two weeks before United filed for bankruptcy, the rest is history.

 

[SYX328]

10 are coming from ACA/IDE and 14 initially are coming from Comair.

 

[Drill Sgt. Dad]

Those are Ex FLYI/ACA planes. Sad to see what happened to them. there are still a few in a hangar in YUL and 4 still in Zephry Hills Fla. But the real pigs of the fleet, 620BR-625BR were flown out of RFD to ARG on Dec 1st.

Where's the new "meatball"?

That's funny because today is the last day of proving runs. The Feds actually waived the last 10 hrs because they have seen enough to satisfy themselves. The problems are on the MTX end of things, not the Flight Crews. Sorry to dissapoint you, but CHQ will be in IAH on 01/08/07 to start CAL operations.

Another tid-bit for you X-Jet guys who know everything. The ERJ will be doing the flying out of STL as well to get everything up and running.

No need to worry, we will have our ducks in a row come game time.

 

[BlueCanoe]

WHORES!!!!!

Had to get in here sometime...

Glad we could agree on something...

Nice to see you're so excited to hurt anyother group of pilots.

CAL's managment hurt us, not CHQ. Grow up.
