[Erlanger]

What could this mean?

[CA1900]

It means they're replacing old planes with new ones, "To keep our fleet status quo," according to the article you posted.

 

[WWEfan]

It means mainline will be begging the pilots for more scope relief so Jerry can start buying 100+ seat jets.

 

[IBNAV8R]

Is that "organic" or "industry-leading" status quo?

 

[AntiJedi]

Is that "organic" or "industry-leading" status quo?

If they get the Q400, MRJ and RRJ, as the article suggests, it would be both.

 

[No Delay]

Really doesnt mean that much....


I'm gonna buy a beach house and a boat one day....I've been looking at those real estate books when I am in florida and look on ebay at boats for sale.

Still, no boat! no beach house.

Can you post the whole article for those of us who dont have an account to be able to read the full article?

It's the new CRJneo. Has pusher turbo props like the Piaggio. 15% fuel burn reduction.

what I will guarantee you is that none of that order will be for 50 seat RJs.

It won't be for mainline aircraft either. Is Beechcraft starting up the B1900 line again? Maybe replacement aircraft for Air Mekong, or maybe they have a subsidiary called Air Imadong? Joe could be the chief pilot of that one.


Bye Bye--General Lee
