mia an all jet base for american eagle?

[saviboy]

a friend of mine, working for american eagle told me that mia would eventually become an all jet base.

is it true or even possible?

would that be compatible with the kind of routes out of Mia?

when would that happen if true?

thanks

An "all" jet base. No way. Perhaps someday a jet base as well as the ATRs. Rumors about Miami becoming a jet base have been around for years, just like RDU. And they're just that, rumors.

Who is your friend? Peter Bowler? If not then dont believe him.

You can put more drugs in the ATR

No way, eagle dosen't have any money for more jets!

What are you talking about. We are going to get the other 25 CRJs, which will be based in MIA, and we will take over th S. America flying that AA does out of MIA. I have it from a good source here on FI.

I heard the same thing from my shoe-shine guy LGA.

Seriously, getting the other 25 CRJs would be a great idea. We need more 70-seaters... bad. They would create lots of upgrades and along with some movement from the recalls might attract some newbies.

We need anything in the line of planes. More CRJs, ATRs, SAABs, or even more EMB. Anything to cuase some movement.

You know thats not a bad idea from Panama and north since most of those flights are say MIA-MPTO (panama) and back. Panama is 2:45 from Miami it seems some regionals are already doing that. Would'nt surprise me.

we would just need over water stuff or stay close to land.

High on morning glory seeds....................

No jet base for MIA. Many have been fantasizing about this for years.

RJ's don't work for Florida or the Bahamas within Florida.......routes too short and too much time getting jerked around at low altitudes, not to mention the limited cargo capacity.

IF LGA is hit with a small RJ ban, look for a more central location to feed Florida and the Northeast. RDU is the front runner. Eagle will likely though scrap the 37-seaters for 70-seaters, so no real net increase in aircraft, just a reschuffle with current 50-seaters and 70-seaters.

Makes you wonder why it's taking them so long to make this move. Twice the seats per plane and they wouldn't have to comb the FBOs for pilots to fly them. Maybe the CRJ needs more than 7000 feet of runway?

Apparently the American Eagle operating certificate already has approval for lots of flying deep into S. America but we obviously dont make use of it.

Actually, the executive certificate is the one which allows international flights.... NA is a flag operator working under domestic work rules.... We are planning and have been approved for flights from MIA to CUN (or maybe Cozumel, can't remember right now), on the ATR, of course.... about 3hrs.....
