Despite what GL says, the MRJ is shaping up nicely

Yawn, I'm sure it'll be the same reliable high-quality as the Diamond and MU-2. Anyone hoping to be at a regional long enough to fly one is setting their sights way too low.

 

[Mercyful Fate]

I'm sure GL has more inside scoop from one of his many FAA friends that sit in his jumpseat.

You donkey diks couldn't get laid in a morgue! I can't wait to see another complete failure. It's great they are slowly building it, with continual delays. Who will you guys fly it for? Yourself? Doubt it! For Alaska? That would be fantastic!

Nah, we're pretty sure Delta will throw you another dollar or two an hour and you'll cave on scope...again. History loves to repeat itself.

Uhhhhhhhhh, you do remember that plenty of your planes and Expressjet planes were parked in that deal too, right? Also, I think Mesa and Gojets have a better chance than you guys, they are cheaper for additional lift.

Sorry, but the phrase worked for you Jackholes. It made me laugh. It's a great line from the movie "Weird Science."

Hey Xpoo, did you read this paragraph from the above?


"The first aircraft will be fully assembled by the end of the year, says the spokesman. The MRJ is due to enter service in early 2017, more than three years later than the target set when the program was launched in 2008. Mistakes and unexpected challenges in following airworthiness procedures have caused most of the delay."



Sounds like exactly what I heard, and reported to you guys. I was right again. Have fun with that one, if you ever get them....

The old ones that needed to be parked were parked, the rest were shifted over to American. Thank you for helping us gain more flying opportunities. Looking forward to the next deal Delta makes for some E-175s. Hint, the 200s already have a home waiting for them.

That's not what you said. You said the MRJ would never see the light of day. Something that would never leap off the page.

I am forced to like this post from GL, as much as it pains me. He accurately quoted Weird Science and that is always ok in my book.

 

[General Lee]

No, I stated a jumpseater speculated there were going to be huge delays, and looks like he was correct. And then many of your pilots on here stated that the slots would be sold to someone else anyway. It will be fantastic to watch.

I pray I don't have to fly this airplane. In years past I could remember things moving quicker in regards to pilot hiring. Open the gates already!

Donkey diks? Ouch. But I guess better than being hung like a fruit bat (ahem GL).

man that suspension did you no good, or the rest of us

you are a tool, really

I think you were suspended too, along with the other jokers? Regardless if I am a tool, I speak the truth, and you know it. My delivery may be tough, but it is dead on accurate. Maybe you and the others can't handle it. Hey, the truth hurts sometimes. I will try to be somewhat careful of my audience, but people with a plan to move up and ahead don't get mad with what I state, only lifers do. The industry is changing, regardless of what you and I say to each other. You can take some advice and move on, or be belligerent and scoff at my remarks.

Btw, I was suspended for 1 week, and enjoyed 6 weeks away. I don't mind doing that again.

[homerjdispatch]

Can someone tell me the last airplane that made it from conception to actually flying on the planned schedule, without delays? Geez, any sideshow fortune teller could have predicted that!

They don't call him "Gerbil Lee" for nothin!
