SWA TA Passes

[texman]

Let me offer a minor correction that had major consequences. The RJ carriers didn't take anything. It was foolishly given to them by mainline pilots. The fault of all this outsourcing lies squarely on the shoulders of mainline pilots, specifically DAL. Comair was the U.S. launch customer for the CRJ and the DAL MEC allowed it.

True early 90's comair.

heard Airtran is going to have big announcement soon.....

Been here for a few years. That one goes around every six months or so.

So can any SWA people tell us what "RJ" is defined as in the TA?

 

[relief tube]

Yeah, we are buying you guys if we can get SWAPA to agree to being stapled to the bottom of our seniority list.

that'd be like walmart buying Sakk's.

On a serious note. Int'l codeshare limited to 4%....isnt that a lot? Come on fellas, do your own international flying.

“Regional aircraft” shall be defined as jet aircraft (aircraft utilizing a turbine-driven engine without an external propeller) certificated for eighty-six (86) seats or fewer and a maximum permitted gross takeoff weight of less than eighty-five thousand (85,000) pounds or turboprop aircraft (aircraft utilizing an engine with an external propeller) certificated for seventy-six (76) or fewer seats and a maximum permitted gross takeoff weight of less than seventy-five thousand (75,000) pounds.

“Regional carrier” shall mean an air carrier that operates regional aircraft, including regional aircraft (as that term is commonly understood in the airline industry) larger than seventy seats for turbojet aircraft (e.g., EMB-170, -190, CRJ-700, -900), or seventy-six seats for turboprop aircraft (e.g., Bombardier Q-400).

That all sounds pretty solid. Why are some people thinking that "RJs" are right around the corner? Although I don't know the seats and GWT of an E190.

because as soon as you don't think they are coming they are here.....better to be proactive than reactive.
