US AIR First E-190

[LearLove]

Rumors about a CLT crewbase for the 190?

That rumor is leaning tward the 175's (unfortuniatly) going to Republic. The rumor people say the 175's will replace the Mesa 900's in CLT. The 900's will go west thus somehow get around the scope viloation being grieved now wrt the Mesa 900's.

Just what I was told. Take it FWIW. I was in recurrent this past month and the Rep DO said the first 175's will be based in the current Rep 170 bases (DCA, PIT, IND) but as more come it depends on where U wants the flying and according to him they (rep) did not know yet.

All the 23 yr old F.O.'s with their backpacks and Ipods are jumping for joy they are going to get to fly those planes now. Can we say SJS

Well sure. If CHQ/RP grows that means all of the frosted-hair ipod kids can get their 1000 pic-turbine faster and then be qualified to move to mainl...er... uh oh.

A flaw in the plan
