I've heard the rumor but not sure how valid it is. I hear they are old XJ planes being released by pinnacle or something. They have some sort of A/C unit in the tail that is not an APU.......................... THey also run on diesel, have HUD's, go MACH 2, and make all FA's look 30 pounds lighter.

Where did you hear it from?

You Colgan guys better be praying they're not the N3xxPX series straight B's. :laugh:

IAH mx manager in TN today. Crew sch set up crews to travel to get first aircraft buddy that still works there going to get one. I guess IAH mx C- Check line is going to get them back in shape. Have no idea where the planes will end up.

The AC in the back helps a tiny bit for keeping the cabin around 90F or so on a hot day. It does nothing at all for the front row seats. Also, they tend to break a lot...

Enjoy!

True, but didn't the PX planes have two ACs? One in front and back?

At least they'll finally get a new paint job!
