50-seat jets -- End of an Era

[HA25]

DANG!!!! Only, 324. Nice!!

I know...think of how many mainline narrow bodies that would be... at least 120... x 12 guys per plane, that's 1400+ pilots and 650 CA's or more on the mainline.

"Delta is moving away from small jets more aggressively than other airlines. It will eliminate 121 50-seat jets from October 2008 through the end of next year. That will leave it with 324."

DANG!!!! Only, 324. Nice!!

That used to be how many RJs Comair had, and now they will be down to 44 total next year. That is a good trend.


Godspeed!

And think if you guys still had SWA 727s and those 737-200s! You could have had 12,000 pilots, and 200 FEs! That's dope! Pass the bong... you're an idiot.


Godspeed!

You are full of $hit, COMAIR never had 300+ or 200+ CRJ's! At the peak it was somewhere around 180! You can pat yourself in the back all you want but at the end of the day, your pilot group was partly responsible for the outbreak of RJ's in the industry!

I lean toward mostly.

SWA just announced three more Mexican cities... all main line. What are you talking about?

Whatever! It's a great start. Maybe their total fleet with Brasilias got that high? I don't really care.


Godspeed!

All via Airtran. But, the codeshare to Guadalajara from LAS and MDW still stands. You added MEX from SAT and SNA, and Cabo from SNA. Volaris still does the others for you. Congrats!

Did DALPA order all of the RJs for everyone else? Sure they didn't. Speaking of doing something for the industry, your group defined the term "****************************** pilots" for your treatment of your new Airtran brothers during your SLI. Bravo!

hidden in this article is that the 50 seat RJ is dying, and the 70+ seat RJ is coming to a theatre near you! So now we're going to be flying 737-200 sized "regional" jets for $40/hr instead of 50,000lb oversized corporate jets.

We get the 50+ seat jets at the new UAL or we're going on strike. Section 1 needs to come from the CAL contract!!

I believe the DoubleBreasted Dalpa's:

1. Were too proud to fly the s.j.'s

2. Forgot to put language in their FANTASTIC contrct to prevent it

Delta went with GO JET for 70 seat RJ's and Delta furnished the AC:
GoJet Airlines Announces Additional Flying and New Partnership With Delta Air Lines

12 Bombardier CRJ-700s added to GoJet’s fleet as Delta Connection

GoJet Airlines LLC announced today a new partnership with Delta Air Lines that includes adding 12 Bombardier CRJ-700 aircraft to the GoJet fleet. The dual-class aircraft will fly
as part of the Delta Connection program.

Under the terms of the agreement, GoJet will begin service with the 12 Delta-owned CRJ-700 aircraft in the first quarter of 2012. The total number of GoJet aircraft in service will rise to 37, almost a 50-precent increase in the airlines’ current fleet. GoJet currently operates 25 aircraft as part of the United Airlines Express regional service.

I think we all can agree that outsourcing, whether by codeshare or scope has to end. If it has your airline's code, and paint, it should be flown by pilot's on that certificate. No more deception of the public.

 

[FLYLOW22]

This just in...

SJs go away...

Turboprops ordered in record numbers...

Pay stays low and now Scope has been eroded to include 100 seats...

That is all...

 

[BentOver]

Comair made it up to around 160 CRJ/CRJ70's......... The last Brasilia was flown around late 2001... And at that time Comair had maybe 140 total a/c....

Add in ASA, CHQ, ACA.. And maybe that adds up to 300+

Forgot to put language to prevent it? There were limits on numbers of the larger RJs, but BK did have a hand in increasing the size of the RJs from 70 to 76 seats. I don't remember anyone in favor of that, excpet management and the BK judge. And that FANTASTIC contract helped your own wages, something you guys deny but know is true.

Great history lesson. Now they will be down to 44.

Scope can be erroded in BAD TIMES. Delta has had record profits, and there are no signs of any impending BK. That means you are wrong. Also, there have been NO props ordered for US Regionals at any of the latest trade shows like the Paris Airshow, Dubai, etc. That would have been a perfect time to do it, yet it didn't happen. The Regionals are HOPING Scope will errode before they do it, and it hasn't yet. The UAL/CAL guys are fired up too about scope, along with the APA. Not looking good.
