Skywest is in talks with Bambardier hoping to be the launch customer for the C Series. Rumor has it that it isn't for any codeshare. Skywest branded flying i guess. Wonder if they are counting on oil prices dropping. The jet is trouted as being 20% more efficient. They might be able to make a go of it in 2013.

No, actually I think we will be making a deal with Cape Air and using those efficient suckers to fly for them.

I call BS on this one.

Jerry Atkin & Co. is smarter than trying to start up branded flying after two high profile failures of such. SkyWest management has stated many times in their investor conference calls that they have no interest in branded flying and intend to grow the business by providing quality and efficient feed to mainline carriers.

If SkyWest ends up on the delivery list for this airplane, it's because they already struck a 15 year deal to fly it for a mainline partner. THAT'S how SkyWest does business.

The C series shouldn't be flying for any regional airline.

Absolutely right. The C110 is a 120,000 lb airplane, the C130 (No offense to Herc guys, that's what they call it) is a 130,000 lb airplane. Seats up to 145 people in a 2-3 main cabin configuration. They are saying 20% more efficient to the "classic" 737 and the DC-9, and the Fokker 100, which I would think it would be BETTER than that, but they also compare it to the 717, which would be impressive.

They need a better product then the POS they have out now. CRJ 200/700/900. They all suck.

Embraer will have a better plane anyhow. The E170/175 sure kicked Bombardier in the nuts. They need to succeed with the "C" series. Time will tell
 
Okay so I clicked on the link. Here is what I found:

The Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan engine represents a step-change in commercial engine performance for single-aisle aircraft. The expected benefits will include up to a 12 percent improvement in fuel efficiency and a 30-decibel noise reduction over Stage III requirements. A ground demonstration test is planned in the third quarter 2007 and a flight demonstration test in 2008.

So which is it?
 
I don't care what this thread is about, these are some fine avatars in this thread!

jehtplane wins!

What is the typical cruise speed and fuel burn in the E175? I've heard the Crj-700 is better but haven't actually seen the numbers to decide for myself. From a passenger stand point its no question.
 
Mach .78 normal cruise. Fuel burn ??? I'll have to ask.
 
I was told the CRJ-700 out-performs the E-170 in just about every category. I can't back it up, don't have the facts on the E-170. Would love to see the comparrisons for costs per seat mile, per hour, range, t/o & landing, etc.
