Up to 94 of these jets, well guess that means nothing new for OO/EV

at least not GoJet? But if Republic can't staff the Q400s how are they going to do this? Talk about biting off more than you can chew!

I thought Eagle Signed a contract for Pay Cuts to actually get these planes????? This sucks.... But maybe all the Eagle Guys will flow up to AA.

EV has never, ever been interested in flying anything other than the CRJ-200. It has proven itself the most efficient and reliable aircraft not available today.

Who cares about growth at EV, lets get back to drawing lines in the sand about PBS systems!

 

[The Drizzle]

Sweet, now AA won't have to hire for attrition from coming retirements. Why have a narrow-body fleet at all when there's RAH to save the day?

You're your own worst enemy.

You apply at LXjt yet?

So when's the next "critical mass" e-mail going to go out blaming this on fatigue calls.

Uh, this isn't RAH's fault. The new AA contract allows this and we all knew it was going to happen as soon as the TA was ratified. The only variable was which contract carrier and which airframe. I think most suspected the E170 series would be chosen over the CRJ7.

Seems Republic might have some leverage now with there contract!

Or not.

Anyone else notice that Republic currently has exactly 53 EMB175s on property?

Why do SkyWest/Expressjet ALWAYS find themselves behind the curve? Bedford for all his faults has managed to have a "program" for all these next-gen airplanes. I'll bet anything that is his number 1 selling point.

SkyWest stock will quickly move to the "dump" rating if they don't get their act together.

They are betting 100% of the farm on United/US opting to upguage the CRJ series. It's a dead platform!

My bet? Inc. gets shown the door and laughed at when UA/US gets the RFP back. The thing is uncomfortable, loud, no closet space, no modern avionics, no hot galley...

I can see it now: "It doesn't matter how we got here"

Any cockpit enhancements on this latest E175?

Read something mentioning these E175s are expected to be equipped with some "enhancements." Not many details provided in the article I read - anyone know any details about these supposed updates? Will the Honeywell Primus Epic cockpit be re-worked/improved? I know a few guys who have flown the Epic and they are not impressed...

I heard the "enhancements" are FA's under 200lbs and younger than 70 years old. ?
