Every lifer at these regionals just creamed themselves.

Do you post that on every forum?

You will also see an order from Bombardier in the near future also. I wonder if some of the Crackpipe woman still want to keep the lists separate?

Who cares what those drama queens want. Soon they will realize that it doesn't matter what they want.

And you would cream yourself if it was announced that regionals were going out if business.

Throwing stones in glass houses... If someone made the choice to make a career at a regional, that is their choice. It isn't wrong because it isn't what you would do.

From Brad Rich's memo:
"These 100 aircraft would be replacement aircraft for current ExpressJet and SkyWest Airlines fleets and are fully intended to fly under contract with major partners. They are not growth aircraft. The aircraft identified in the agreement in principle include the MRJ70 or MRJ90, which range from 70 to 90 seats. The configuration of seats would be determined by scope limitations and airline requirements at the time of delivery.
The intended delivery time frame would be from 2017 to 2020. While specific allocations are yet to be determined, we anticipate that aircraft would be delivered to both of SkyWest, Inc’s operating entities. I cannot overemphasize how important it is to remain competitive in our ability to accept these or any aircraft."

I love how the ALPA email directly states that this is growth. How out of touch can they be? Yes we will lose 100 50 seaters but we will get 4 of these. That's growth for ALPA. Worth every penny of the 2% we pay them.

Skywest pilots cream themselves every morning when they look at themselves in the mirror.

ALPA didn't read the message from brad rich, they seem to think this is growth..

"This new aircraft order is a positive sign for the future of our entire Company. Such growth is due, in part, to the thousands of dedicated pilots who provide superior service for our passengers and a sought-after product for our partners."

The planes are growing, the pilot group...not so much.

 

[Mr. Johnson]

Replacing old, worn out airframes. Nothing to see here, keep moving folks.

 

[gator_hater]

Probably see them in United colors @ Xjet if UA scope allows it.

USAirways Express flying outta PHX (Skywest) and CLT (ASA/Expressjet).

ASA will get about 6 of these. When the carpet looks like beach tar and the packs spew condensate that smells like your middle school gym locker (six months in),SkyWest will promptly transfer the airframes back to themselves.

Get over it guys. It's plastered on the Xjet website as nothing more than a dangled carrot. You mules!

Why would they dangle it in front of you ?? Who cares what they fly if it doesn't pay well. Let Skywest have it they don't mind making less on bigger aircraft.
