900's posing problems for Skywest?

[USCtrojan]

Take this with a grain of salt. Was just told Skywest could not certify the 900 for revenue service because the FAA has a minimum requirement to evacuate the aircraft. Skywest could not meet that minimum and subsequently the FAA is giving Skywest 6 months to achieve it. I've been told this by numerous people, however, have seen nothing in writing. Anyone?

You really think SkyWest couldn't evac 70 people out of the -900 when they can get 70 out of the -700 and the -900 has 2 more exits? Nice try

LMAO, you guys kill me. I post something showing/telling you I have nothing in writing, just substantial rumor. I'm not trying to attack/spew/stir the pot. I threw it out there to see if anyone has anything in writing. If I hurt your feelings, then I am sorry.

How was that substantial. Who told you, that made it so substantial?

What's the definition of how in your substantial?

Initially, they failed the test...then they went back and redid it. It's certified and ready to fly now. That could explain the rumor.

"SkyWest is pleased to announce that the FAA certification is complete"............"and the CRJ900 will play a significant role in our flying and future growth opportunities for SkyWest."

And further bringing the regionals to a new low!! Coming soon, the CRJ-1000's to Skywest! Seats 150 pax, and will be flown at 50 seat rates!!!

Time to get out of the industry. This job has hit an all time low. Here we are trying to raise the bar, and SKWST hoes are on that thing like fried on rice.

At 50 seat rates I'd be draggin' my feet too.

PS: Cute kid, YIKES!!!

Skywest initially flunked the evacuation test. 100% true fact.

Let me correct myself and end this rumor!! If you have ever been up to the factor to take delivery of a aircraft, you would know that the aircraft have Canadian tail number on them until your company has closed on the aircraft. And have received the "Fly Wire" from the FAA with your temp certificate.
Then they take the C-munber off and put the N-Number on.

So that being said there could not have been a EV tail number on any 900 in SLC.


And we didn't fail the test we chose to not go to a third try (and then fail) until we retained the FA'S on the proper Evac test....
