Stop right there, General.
Mike Boyd is the biggest Captain Obvious in this entire industry...and that's saying A LOT. All Boyd says (especially regarding RJs and their economics) is stuff that anybody with a basic calculator and simple math skills can already figure out...and he derives his "analysis" solely from casual observation and 1st grade arithmetic.
In short, he's not an "expert" of anything other than self-promotion...and one should give his industry analysis as much thought as the Consumer Reports' review of the Isuzu Trooper.
Thought Delta was starting the retirement process for the DC-9's. Is mainline going to replace these? How old is the youngest one in the fleet? I'm sure it's older than I am
...the contract will be enforced...
Why would you think I would put quotes around expert? It was a joke. But, he is master of the obvious, and obviously airlines and passengers are getting tired of RJs. That is the point. They have served their purpose, and except for a select few routes, they are on the way out. Even slowly, that is a good thing.
Bye Bye--General Lee
so how many dc-9-50's are in the fleet?
You all don't get it. The only way to "win" an argument with General "Broken Record" Lee is to ignore him. He will never move off his "RJs suck, and will be gone in a year" mantra. The same mantra he's been chanting for about 5 years now, while RJs keep flying to new places. He just does it to get a rise out of you, and you fall for it. Just ignore him!
