This is the first paint scheme that complements the -700's lines. Both Horizon and Eagle's new machines resemble a Fisher-Price toy.

WOW!

It brings a tear to my eye. I'm glad to finally see it on property and can't wait to see it in the skies. Anyone notice the "EV" ending on the registration?

 

[asarjfo]

The "EV" registration is due to the fact that there are not enough "AS" numbers left. The "EV" comes from the code Delta uses to designate ASA in the Deltamatic reservation system.

Just a bit of useless triva for you!

I had a chance to tour N701EV in Macon the other day, very nice airplane!

 

[ATL2CDG]

Duh!

I am well aware of the significance of the "EV." My point was that ASA is far from using all N---AS registrations. The fleet is around 100 aircraft and there are tons of numbers left to be used. Just curious as to why the switch. There are no N7--AS planes out there for confusion.

 

[FL000]

More useless trivia...

700AS Cessna 310/Aircraft Support and Services
701AS Lear 35/Airnet Systems
702AS Maule M7/Williams Machine and Tool Co.
703AS Boeing 737/??

...the list goes on. This would explain why we turned to the EV for the -700 tail numbers.

 

[Bebop]

I believe that Alaska Airlines uses AS in their tail numbers.
I Think...

 

[ATL2CDG]

Thank you much

Thanks for the clarification... Personally, I like "EV"... I'll be happy to see it on property.

 

[bssthound]

I personally don't care what letters they put on them,
just as long as they keep comin'!! Every one of
'em that shows up means a better line for we slugs on
the 50 seater!!

Hey ATL2CDG......

Is it some kind of rule that when you are French you have to be a comlete ass!?!?

 

[asarjfo]

I know...I know....you are an ass, but I can't spell so I guess we are even.

That will be ironic if these airplanes end up being flown by the Delta pilots. See my thread regarding their re-negotiation of scope.

More shots of much better quality.

It sure looks a lot like a MD80...Major Airlines were too big anyway!

EV stands for ASA's airline designator code. All of the 70 seaters will be using it. Don't know exactly why but like the previous posters have stated, keep em comming!!! I sure hope that the DALPA/Delta hearing in DC doesn't change much with our aircraft. DAPLA is trying to get them while they are fighting the furlough problems. I hope they get their guys back off of furlough, but I also hope they dont change things at ASA/Comair. Time will tell.

slats?

I thought the CRJ700 was going to have slats/leading edge devices? From the photos (even when zoomed in using Photoshop) it looks like the wing is identical to the CRJ200.

When retracted, the LEDs are hard to see even from a foot away. But they are there.

For a better look, click here, then follow the links to Regional Aircraft, image gallery, CRJ 700, image number 16.

Great pic's, sure would like to see that 90 seater at mainline or with us at ASA and mainline guys flying them. Stange that it is only 86 seats, wonder what the rationale is for that.

 

[Guam360]

I heard that here at CMR, we will be receiving our -700's as fast as we can so that DAL won't be able to negotiate something to get them.
I had also heard there was a problem at ASA about receiving them as quickly as you would like because of some contractual policy, do any ASA pilots know what this might be?

 

[~~~^~~~]

ASA doesn't have a pay rate on the airplane and management has been using whipsaw to threaten us with them going elsewhere if we do not agree to a concessionary rate. I understand a pay rate may be negotiated next week. Odds are Comair's rates - as I can not imagine our MEC undermining the Comair pilots.

 

[Tim47SIP]

As of last week the operations guys in management stated that we would be getting them as fast as we can take em. Matter of fact we are behind shcedule by two months due to the financing problems at the end of last year. Also, I dought the part of the delivery schedule increased to hinder DALPA from renegotiating to get them. A. Those negotiations are going on as we speek to include arbitration for the No Furlough clause. DALPA feels that the company violated their no furlough protection part of the contract, and B. DALPA could negotiate those things away anytime they wanted (which they are trying to do right now, maybe not take them away, but share them) providing they could talk Delta management into it. At this very moment, a greivance has been filed by DALPA because DCI has gone over it's cap by 2% due to the lower hours flow by mainline than what was expected. This is where the interesting part happens. If the arbitration determines that the furlough was illegal, then Delta has 500+ pilots to bring back and they need to fly something. This could mean Delta just picks them back up and pays them, or they fly our 70 seaters (because they are getting paid anyway) and DCI guys are on the street, although I dought the number would be over 250 or so because of current growth. If the cap grievance is sided in favour of DALPA, then DCI planes get parked. This is a no win situation for anyone. Company is retstricted and bleeds cash, DALPA pilots still on the street, and DCI pilots on the street. Or maybe nothing happens at all as far as DCI. We should know something preliminary next week after the arbitration has ended in DC. If you dont like what is happening now, just wait a minute, it will change.
