Where are the 900's Going?

[OK Bud!]

Two weeks ago, Freedom was loosing seven 900's. One and a half weeks ago, Comair was getting seven 900's. One week ago, Comair was NOT getting seven 900's. Anybody heard what is to become of those seven airframes?

Not ASA.

Look for Skywest or Pinnacle.

Comair and ASA the biggest losers in DCI flying. (Along with Freedumb)

Pinnacle and Skywest the biggest winners.

The CPs at ASA are going around saying Pinnacle is taking the airplanes, FWIW.

Has anybody considered MESA is keeping them ???

just thinking outside the box

 

[Cpt Oveur]

I'd think an announcement would be coming very soon since those airplanes were announced to leave Freedom early next month.

FWIW Jerry has said publicly that it is very expensive to operate two different bases at the same airport, quite recently too.

They are going to Pinnacle!

You heard it here first

Mesaba will take them, open up an ATL base and bring in some Saabs to do ATL-HHH when the ATRs leave

Pinnacle, who a month ago was out the door at Delta, seems to be the golden child now - and look for them to get most of any new DCI flying.

Kinda makes you wonder, huh. From get out of here, to lets give them everything. Either Pinnacle is Reaaaaaaaaaaal cheap, or something strange is going on. Must be the buddy buddy system at work.

Double post

They will be fitted with a straight wing and some props then sent to Colgan. The great Lord help us all.

9E adding 26 crews into the 900 by January (based on 26 total crew vacancies) That makes little sense if there was no growth. DL schedule shows 9E flying a bunch out of CVG starting in DEC.

Who cares...
They'll go wherever Delta decides...end of story!
Pinnacle...Mesa...Comair...ASA...Colgan...Bahamas Air...Jazz...whoever is the cheapest with the cheapest costs, pilot wages and the works will get them! And the following month...they might go to someone else, so ....who cares!

PCLs flight schedule was supposed to remain the same with nine operational airframes until the beginning of next year. Meanwhile, management continue vacancies for that airplane to the tune of adding 45 new crews between now and January 1st.

Then the Delta schedule comes out and it includes this service starting in December:

So you see apparently Pinnacle is getting them for now, until Delta decides otherwise. Oh well, I still make more flying a smaller plane...
