Despite what GL says, the MRJ is shaping up nicely

And you know all about the regionals, right? Like how the 50-seat model is dying at Delta? Why is SkyWest picking up two more pro-rate 50-seat markets in June? CUI and PLN. Oh right, because pro-rate doesn't count against Delta's 50-seat scope agreement with its pilots.

From Paul Jacobson, CFO, during the last conference call:

"We are on track to retire more than 70 50-seaters this year, which would put that fleet below 200 aircraft at the end of the year. The refleeting gives us a strong tailwind on unit cost as we leverage our scale to produce capacity much more efficiently."



I'd say your 50 seater days are numbered. These management types seem giddy about dumping them, and UAL and AA are next. You did add some AA stuff at ORD, but a lot of that is temporary. Throw in questions about future pilot hiring and where you will source new pilots, especially when all 3 legacies really open the doors, and the whole Regional industry will be on shaky ground. The Regionals will shrink and compete for what is left over, at a discount or lose it.

No tears from me. I just feel it's a shame how bad this forum has become over the years. And I feel it's because they let clowns like GL run wild. Every thread that he touches immediately gets thrown off course. And if it does happen to be about aviation, it's the same story over and over again. Suspend him again, what good will that do? He'll be back and it'll be the same thing all over again. In my opinion, they ought to have a 3 strikes and your out policy.

Hmmmm. Sounds like you also resort to name calling, you hypocrite. Read the post above, my response to Xpoo. I have a well thought out response that has truth in it, but eventually watch idiots like Percy and Freetard try to add their slams. Oh well, I'm correct. Bye now Kim Jon Un.

And yet, SkyWest's pro-rate flying continues to grow. On 50-seaters. For Delta. Go figure.

Any thread in which GL, Merciful Fate, Freebrd and XPOO interact ends up going to he!!. It's inevitable. Straight to middle-school name calling and personal insults. It gets very old quickly. The moderators are useless. Back to APC....

Excuse me...no name calling here. Unless referring to him as Beetlejuice is name calling. He likes 80s nostalgia, so I thought it was fitting. If it were the 90s he was more fond of I would have used Candyman.

You're right, I should've left the clown part out. But I stand by the rest of my post. Your thought out response is nothing new.

Your obsession with me and freeturd is getting creepy

It's great you recognize your own hypocracy. And, you haven't added anything that you consider "old." None of you add anything of substance, even if you consider it "old news." Do you have any insight or thoughts on the future of this industry? Any guesses? I'd love to hear your thoughts Nostradamus.

I already told you what the future of the industry was going to be. You continue to spit out public quotes from people who say what the public (and you) want to hear.

CUI? I tried to look that up and found Currillo, Colombia. You guys are going there? For DL? Hmmmm. Looks like PLN is Pellston, MI. That one may be nice during the Summer, but then again you sit at a desk and dream of wonderful places like PLN.....

So, how about Manziel going to the Browns! Oh, sorry, I see the topic here is about MRJs. My bad.
