Bionic CRJ

[acaTerry]

So I was reading Aviation International News and see this article on the 110 seat CRJ. Any guesses who will buy them (besides Mesa)?

 

[AvroGuy]

here is your answer so far.

I bet that's comfortable. Coming soon: the 300 seat version CRJ.

It doesn't matter as long as they have a quick upgrade...

undisclosed order....Skywest, now will they actually include a pay scale for the CRJ-1000, or will it still go for the barbie CRJ pay?

It will be a .005 % override that they agree to.

 

[viper548]

It's not skywest, although they have looked at them

And they will continue to sell out 1/3rd of their pilot group to get it!!! I'm sure the Bro guys will love 'em for that.

I'm starting to get RJ nightmares

We are already working on a training program for it a ASA. Expect an announcement of our order soon.

Can you say "tail-strike"

 

[flyf15]

So we have an aircraft that carries as many, or more, passengers and as far as mainline aircraft such as the 717, 737-200/500/600, DC-9-30, F-100, A318, EMB-190/195, etc. But, it has "RJ" in its name so it'll be flown by regional carriers for regional payrates?

Maybe we should change the name of this forum from "Regional" to "Outsourced"

NS Rusky! I can't tell you how many times that 900 aaaaaalmost hits when I watch someone yank up instead of flying it off.

Do tell-how many times? You sound like a passenger who says "The pilot was flying waaaaay to fast and he also landed long."

More like 20% but it still sucks for them. Bombardier needs to stop adding plugs and needs to reinvent to 700 so it has overheads that fit roller boards.

...especially after the plane goes into the grass....


Noooooooo. I mean about 7 times, which is a LOT considering how little timeI spend watching cool kids like you in your shiny new jet....

Seriously, I get the room facing the runway here and there and too many times I see that sucker yanked off the ground and I mean MAYBE a foot or two between tail and ground. Like the PF thinks he has to keep pulling until it flies.

Seconded.

Linky no worky

And it's not going to be Mesa. Please god, do not let it be Mesa.

 

[Erlanger]

It could be Skywest. Jerry Atkin said about a month ago, that he had to personally goto Montreal, to sign a deal with Bombardier and he couldn't talk about what that deal was. Either way, it's probably for more airplanes, whatever they are.

He went to place an order for 25 -900's and 15 -700's for us at ASA because after the company and ALPA met seperatly with the NMB 3 weeks ago, they've reached an agreement and it will be signed at the end of May. Details to be released when ALPA decides we need to know....

And then three months later there will be an announcement that the airplanes will be delivered to SkyWest instead.

Who has the scope to let them be flown at a US regional? Not at Delta, not at US Air for sure. Most of the 900s are running around configured for fewer seats than can really be packed in there for scope reasons.

So that's the first question - what CUSTOMER of a regional will allow 1000s to be flown? Then we can start speculating on who that customer may choose to fly these aircraft.

It could be Mesa - if you're going to throw huge amounts of money down the drain in HI you might as well do it in a bigger aircraft - but I think the secret order is 15, I don't think even JO believes he can use 15 aircraft in HI - although I'm sure one day he wants to fly go! in the mainland it'll be a few years yet before the current set of customer contracts expire.

Jerry was in my class last week and said it is not us.
