I am thinking there is a better chance of meaningful health care reform happening before this order is placed.

I heard (a few months ago) all the widebodies were gonna be Airbii.

Just more proof that a CAL-UAL merger is imminent. Any second now. They're gonna announce it. Predicted here, by me on FI, on the Ninerteenth day of August in the Year of our Lord Two-Thousand and Niner :rolleyes:

The new airframes will be the new 737 fleet SWA had promised the F9 pilots down the road... All UAL pilots will get a SWA interview.

SWA buys UAL - you heard it here first!
 
Typical Section 6 playbook.

"We've got these aircraft on order, but we can't take delivery until we get this pilot contract nailed down. So, again, the most we can give you is a 3% pay raise."

Yawn!!!! :rolleyes:

And UAL mainline ordering CRJ's? I doubt it.

This has as much of a chance at coming to fruition as Pocohole pilot clearing up her feminine infection problem.
 
You guys have it all wrong! They are going to by them, take delivery and OUTSOURCE them for someone else to fly at a LOSS. It's the United way!
 
Apparently the gov't has expanded the cash for clunkers program to include old B737s.

Bombardier C-Series aircraft are not "RJs." They are 110-130 seat mainline aircraft with a 3x2 configuration.
 
not saying this rumor is true at all, but i am waiting on the first mainline carrier to order the C-Series so we can officially pin that aircraft onto the mainline tickets. That should be a great airplane when it comes.

Super broke the code. UAL getting the C series would be a great thing.

Nu

There is part of your problem! You mainline guys think if it ain't made by Boeing or Airbus it must be an RJ. Draconian thinking and failure to adapt is why you are called a legacy. I would make sure this "RJ" is flown by UAL list and not your feed this time around.
 
Mmmmm...UAL order. QUICK....would SOMEBODY SEND ME A SCANTRON FORM because I just found out I'm 1/16th American Indian...AND 1/16th BLACK!!!

Yahooooooo. I'm in like Flynn!

And to think this dream was going to go to waste!

Isnt embraer designing a aircraft to compete with the c-series?

they already built it, the E-190. bombardier is just behind the power curve on getting it out but it looks like they are improving on what Embraer did with the E-JET.
 
Has the C series even flown yet? That has to be at least 5 years or more down the road. As the old saying goes, " when I see new planes on the ramp ". If it makes to the papers, stock will go up a few cents glen and his minions(sp) will sell a couple shares and then cancel the order.

says who?? It will be advertised to airlines and sold as an RJ...they (airline mgt) will love the idea since it will keep labor costs down. How many airline pilot contracts have open loop holes that don't protect these from being outsourced.
