Republic E175's for American Eagle

[johnsonrod]

I heard the "enhancements" are FA's under 200lbs and younger than 70 years old. ?

Highly unlikely, but extremely welcome if that happens....

For dinner. He eats the children the employees who dare question his benevolence.

Read something mentioning these E175s are expected to be equipped with some "enhancements." Not many details provided in the article I read - anyone know any details about these supposed updates? Will the Honeywell Primus Epic cockpit be re-worked/improved? I know a few guys who have flown the Epic and they are not impressed...

New winglets and "other aerodynamic enhancements."

I really liked the Primus Epic platform that was in the E170 series. What airplane did they fly the Epic in? It seems it varies quite a bit across different platforms.

Why do SkyWest/Expressjet ALWAYS find themselves behind the curve? Bedford for all his faults has managed to have a "program" for all these next-gen airplanes. I'll bet anything that is his number 1 selling point.

SkyWest stock will quickly move to the "dump" rating if they don't get their act together.

They are betting 100% of the farm on United/US opting to upguage the CRJ series. It's a dead platform!

My bet? Inc. gets shown the door and laughed at when UA/US gets the RFP back. The thing is uncomfortable, loud, no closet space, no modern avionics, no hot galley...

I can see it now: "It doesn't matter how we got here"

They aren't behind the 8 Ball here. We're just being forced out of the game. Name one RJ operator that is more expensive than we are. It doesn't matter what airline we try to snag an RFP for- they don't pick us because they all want the same thing. Cheap feed is all that matters. SkyWest has seen it's hayday, and it's all down hill from here. Prep and get out of here- it's the best thing you can do for yourself.

Rumor going around that iPad program has been canceled. What a beating Inc has taken lately

*yawn*. I never believed that was gonna happen in the first place. iPads are very far down the list of things I care about right now.

Seems Republic might have some leverage now with there contract!

wouldn't count on it. Those scumbags at Republic will vote for a subpar contract to get new flying. They love killing jobs. Killed Lynx, why not kill American Eagle?

Scumbags? You talking the pilot group there?

I was once (recently, actually) a part of a "non-scumbag" pilot group, who not only wouldn't vote for a subpar contract, but actually went on strike.

A lot of good that did, I tell ya.

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Don't get into that mentality! Comair fought the good fight and it's just too bad the Pinnacle clowns didnt have that DNA. Lev me tell ya, they weren't hired for their profound understanding of aerodynamics, that's for sure. Now they pay for it. For different reasons.

yeah, just a little bit bitter. Once upon a time I worked for a good airline. Republic came along. Now I don't.

Certainly don't blame ya! Industry sucks!!!!!

How much were you Lynx guys making again on the Q? That sure was some industry leading pay.

Sorry you got screwed at Lynx, but don't go throwing a pilot group under the bus when your contract wasn't so great itself.

Lynx was a complete JOKE from the start!!! A "regional" for a 40 plane operation? Get over yourselve's, Lynx!!!!! you went for a quick upgrade and it backfired! you have nobody to blame but yourselves!!!:laugh:

You never have leverage when working at what equates to a temp. agency.
