4 Additional DAL 700s for AtlSE

[777forever]

Looks like the additional 700 rumors were mostly true. Not quite the 8-15 as rumored, but 4 more is a great way to start the new year. Here's to movement! 3 cheers for BH. Hip hip HOORAY!

Nice! Now if they'll stick a newhire class or two under me it'll be GOOD news!

U know they are going to SkyWest not ASA
Per the press release, right?

Internally Brad Holt just announced 4 CR7's to Atlantic Southeast. Correct, the press release does say SkyWest Airlines.... I would guess OO is getting them straight from the factory.

I previously stated Atlantic SE's aircraft are coming from Horizon... This is incorrect, the announcement made no mention where they are coming from. My apologies.

Yea on the west side the rumor mill is going strong again as we are having the jet transition classes. How many ex QX -700s do you guys have now? Seems the horizon/Alaska rumors are spreading from the pdx base and the QX/AS pilots I have run into in the last few weeks.

YES!!!! Please, bring in more aircraft that should be at mainline!!!!! That's awesome!!!!!

(sarcasm)

 

[Jetjockey]

CRJFOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME dudes.

I guess we will have to run an upgrade class of 15-20 and hire a few more? Anyone heard anything about more hiring?

 

[EngineOut]

I think 4 of Horizon's 700s are going to ASA, 4 are going to SkyWest and SkyWest has ordered 4 new ones from Bombardier.

Total of 12 additional 700s for Inc.

And on top of that, sounds like Skywest is getting 8.

That ship sailed many years ago when the mainline skygods decided "little airplanes" were too good for them...Bring'em on...My ego isn't too big to fly them....

 

[JoeMerchant]

CRJFOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME dudes.

Can't wait to fly them out of IAH and EWR.....:laugh:

 

[JoeMerchant]

And on top of that, sounds like Skywest is getting 8.

Good! Better for the bottom line which is better for ALL of us who work for INC....

Fly them while you can Joe, you never know when you will be replaced by another airline undercutting your CPA, or mainline scope limiting your career.

Edited to clarify the point Joe was trying to make... I think...

 

[Jetjockey]

Not true. I want ALL the planes on the mainline list. I'd fly a 172 if it were on mainline seniority with mainline benefits.

Too bad that wasn't the consensus opinion at mainline back when the RJs came on the scene...

 

[Nevets]

Good! Better for the bottom line which is better for ALL of us who work for INC....

Then why not just put all Asa and XJT planes over on the side that is better for the bottom line? Maybe we should just go for the old Mesa contract so that it's better for the bottom line and can get CRJ1000s!

 

[Jetjockey]

I remember that same "swagger" when Atlantic Coast got a big United contract and they were growing like wildfire in all the UAL hubs......
