That's tok funny and good for him for pointing it out- negative press for the rj i used to fly is also a good thing.
What sucks though is that he could have got a tiny plane at every legacy out there and delta's right at the top when it comes to selling out. And overbooking makes flights much much cheaper.

What happened to the louis ck vid- "everything's amazing-nobody's happy" someone with more video skills than me should do a montage and clown him back

"you're in a CHAIR..... In the SKY(!).....'ehhnnn... But the seat doesn't go back very far... '..."
 
The sad part is that you can change the city pairs in this story and switch out the players with any legacy airline in the country. Unfortunately for us, CAL once again makes it onto tv in a negative light.
 
Granted this is nothing new for us, :erm:, but had he chosen DAL to fly from BNA to LAX via ATL, what kind of equipment would he have been on? It would have been a CRJ900. WTF, over. I'm not defending the use of ERJ's but come on, DAL would have provided the EXACT same service to ATL the XJT was ging to IAH. RJ, RJ, RJ. He simply chose to drive to ATL. Luck of the deal. Now, if he had driven to IAH and taken a 757 or 737 to LAX, then you can compare apples to apples. He can kiss my blarney stones.

Unfortunately, perception is reality. He spun it into a great story and punchline, "you're not going to tell anyone are you? No, of course not--Continental." I think it would not have been an issue if they hadn't oversold the flight. Flying has turned into a greyhound bus trip. The part of him being cramped in the plane was funny. But so what. That's pretty well expected. What they don't expect is to pay for a ticket and be kicked off the airplane. That's what set him off I think. And he's completely right. Like the Seinfeld episode said, they know how to take your money for the seat, but then they don't hold the seat. That's not a reservation. It's a crapshoot.

A possibility at BNA, but the majority of the seats out of BNA are mainline on the 88, and 738.
 
Doesn't Delta have the most RJ departures among legacies?

Yes. They also sold out as late as 2006. Have learned nothing over time when it comes to outsourcing.
 
there is no surprise that the largest airline in the world also has the most rj departures.

Union Pilots we are taking it back
 
someone post the link to the actual part already.....
( i wanna kid my CAL buddy about it)
 
To be fair, I see value in ALPA Legal and Medical, but "negotiating" is not ALPA's thing.

Funny Ferguson bit! Y'all are right, the airline names could have been easily changed to protect/indict the "innocent."

(Once this comes up on YouTube, someone needs to show the airline CEOs, since he is stating the obvious regarding how the public feels about commuters...not to mention the fact that no matter WHAT you try to do, the public will ALWAYS see express as "Continental Airlines" or whatever so it reflects on the major airline). (same could have happened if DL commuter, so not airline specific)
PRIME example from last nt. No flt# just major airline name. Isn't this a regional? Public perception is everything:

Plane makes emergency landing in Grand Rapids



December 16, 2009 1002 PM



GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) – Pilots on a Northwest Airlines flight were forced to make an emergency landing at the Gerald R. Ford Airport in Grand Rapids on Wednesday night.

That flight was on its way from Cleveland to Minneapolis, but pilots diverted the plane after they say they felt tingling in their hands and feet.

Airport officials say they did find traces of carbon monoxide in the cockpit, but also say that both the pilots are fine now.

There were 47 people on the flight, most of them were put on a different flight to reach their destination.

Craig slamed RJ's that are shame of this industry, not particular airline.

I am thankful for that!

Actually no, he also slammed customer service at a particular airline!

However, we may be along for the ride, but we don't control the "show".
