Republic Amends Delta, UAL Agreements

Tell your born again CEO that the CAL pilot group politely tells him to stick his big Barbie jets where the sun don't shine...

Barbie Jet is reserved for the CRJ 200 thank you very much. You will now use the term "jungle bus" to refer to the 170+ group.

Call a 170 a "regional jet" on the radio and just wait for the crew's response...not that I've ever done that...

Next time I'm told to follow one, I'll refer to it as an RJ then. Should be almost as fun as calling CHQ, Shaniqua on the radio.

You get a better response when you call a mainline "company." I have done that, but he started it.

It's even better when you're behind a 737 in Philly and the ground controller tells you to follow "Company."

Republic is swapping 16 or so E170s for E175s at Delta. Big deal. Now there will be 6 extra seats for nonrevs. There is still a limit to the number of 76 seaters there, and those E170s are going somewhere else.

We just call them "Mainline Chautauqua".

the only people who cared were the MDA pilots. i'm sure you bruised some newhire's ego, but they don't know any better. they haven't had FI.com to bestow them with infinite wisdom.

I kinda doubt CO wants a 50 seater ERJ-170.








....waits for someone to flame for... but but but but its no RJ... its an emb jet.... deeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Axel]

No flame here. That was a good answer.

The guys flying 70-90 seat RJ's now DON'T want them either. For anybody. They just haven't figured it out yet

Does that even exist?
