Oh NO! There could be an RJ surplus!

Maybe Fred Greed can use the surplus 50 seaters on a shuttle service every 5 minutes from MDW to EWR for Virgin America? Businessmen love frequency........

Man, that would make for such an easy commute. We can only hope.

I don't get that impression. Everyone knows the General's viewpoint on RJs - he's not a fan. I think he makes a great point. His point about operating RJs in a high-frequency model just outlines how wrong the original premise was. Clearly it doesn't work from an economic standpoint nowadays or from a comfort standpoint for the most likely high frequency passengers - high-margin business passengers who will do anything to avoid uncomfortable RJs.

The day will soon come when I can have an RJ in my backyard, and I can put a sandbox inside, and build a fort on the back where the engines r. A piece of plywood across the engines, n then put up a frame, and more plywood, and a roof.

I can get my friend from the fire department to bring the Jaws of Life to cut a hole in the roof, so I can go in and out of my fort and use the bathroom.

Then maybe I could get MTV to pimp my RJ

Come on Jimmy, you are wrong now. I don't thrive on anyone's misfortune, since our company has had more misfortune (1310 furloughs, $ billions in losses, base closures, etc) than most airlines out there. (Maybe not United or USAir) I do post articles that state problems with some airlines, but I usually just post the article. Regardless, I have an opinion and I often show it. At the same time, I know there will be future job losses at various airlines and I try not to make anyone feel any worse than they already feel. This is a crazy time in our profession, and I am fully aware of that. Re-read my comments after posting this article. They were about Fred Reed at Delta and his screw ups. I just posted the article and gave my opinion on my old boss. So, knowing that, you need to grow up. And, I don't have a crappy little life. I enjoy every minute of it. Life is what you make it. I have a life outside aviation and flightinfo believe it or not.

Bye Bye Jimmy-----General Lee
