CommutAir Parking planes?

[tradersltd]

I was in Witchita recently and I saw two CommutAir 1900's on the Raytheon ramp minus all logos except for the N000CA on the tail. Lease turn ins? How many planes are expected to get turned in total? Anything replacing them? Just Curious!

Commutair recently (March) returned two aircraft, N834CA and N843CA. These aircraft were not equiped with EGPWS. Plus with our downsizing in ALB it was believed that we did not need the aircraft, so it was decided to return them and not pay to put in EGPWS.

Now with our BOS expansion we are getting short on aircraft and crews. Constant rumors of cabin class aircraft. But after four years of them being "right around the corner", nobody is holding their breath anymore.

How many planes are you guys down to? Around 25 right? Once 850 left it was 27?

Was 850 "the one" from Colgan?

Yep, "the one." Formerly N215CJ before we took delivery, for those not already familiar.

Whoops.

I had the pleasure of flying that machine very soon after "repairs" had been made. Didn't give me that warm, fuzzy feeling .

But we are anticipating a new file cabinet any day now...

Sorry, Mano lost his bet and is spending the cabinet money on buying dinner.

Does this mean that I should look for my new bid packet next to my order at Morton's Steak House in downtown CLE.???
