Den E-170

[taxicabdriver]

I saw a 170 in the DEN B gates the other day painted up in United colors and from the back of the plane it looked like it had a SW registration. Do you guys at Skywest have any of these or was I just suffering from a hangover?

Hangover aside...Its a Chautauqua aircraft ground handled by Skywest.

What are some of the longer routes Chataqua flies on the 170? I had no idea they went as far west as DEN.

Heard "Shuttlecraft" today going into DEN. Wasn't sure who it was until we saw the plane-the EMB-170 looks good in the new United colors.

It was an number ending "RW" you saw. All Shuttle America and Chautauqua E-170's end with that. Its short for "Republic Airways Holdings"... the lovely family which we are all a part of nowadays. Yeah, "shuttlecraft" is the Shuttle America call sign.

Don't even start with the seniority integration questions or I'll blow a fuse. as of today all E-170's are being operated by Chautauqua pilots. the only Shuttle America pilot trained on the airplane is the Shuttle Chief Pilot... who is management!
