Oh boy...anyone else here about the possible CR7 flying at IAD?

[BOX OFFICE]

The ASA 700's I thought were basically DL owned and could only be used for DL operations. If ASA could start CR7 flying for anyone else ASA would have to buy/lease the aircraft themselves. Doubt any of our current CR7's could transfer to anything but DL flying.

My understanding is that DAL owns (the leases) on "your" RJ9s, but SkyWest owns (or holds the lease on) all but 30 of your RJ2s and all of your RJ7s. I'm sure you could dig through the info from the sale of ASA to back this up on the 200s and 700s.

I haven't herd anything about it.

Hojets is cheaper, and why would UAL give ASA any more flying after how badly we've performed the last 6 months!?

They're indebted to Skywest, Inc.

True. It seems pretty sad and embarrassing even, how company appears to be taking this flying for granted.

I saw him on my way to the crew lounge, and wanted ping him on a few DTW questions, and then we got into the IAD discussion.

We'll see what we hear in the next few months, but I think the CRJ7s at IAD would be great, UAL loves having eXplus on their RJs, something we can't offer with our CRJ2s.

See if you get more of those CRJ700s after we get our contract.
