US Airways e190

[greyskyracer]

What are the routes likes for the 190? Does it ever get out west or does it just do normal rj routes of CLT and Philly?

Thank you

I have never seen one at our hubs in PHX or LAS.

Yeah, it's mostly shorter rj-like legs. Starting Denver service for June-rumors of more western cities. We do DFW and probably others. Sometimes higher leg days of 5-6 legs depending on where you go. Most days are productive with regards to sits. Previously, I used to have a 3 hours sit on a daily basis. Here, the longest scheduled turn I've seen in my short time here is 90 minutes.

Long story short-similar rj skeds with occasional long stuff with possibly more long stuff to come. CLT base for July.

Now back to the usual bickering.....

Wait.. Isn't most of the US Airways East flying short routes out of CLT, and PHL. Hell its not as if there is alot of distance between the cities. What would be an rj route to be exact?

That's what I meant-been flying similar, if not the same routes I flew on the rj with some occasional longer stuff like dfw and denver. didn't mean to confuse.....

Any system similaries between the 190 and the 145 you flew at your last job? Or is it complete redisign inside and out ?

YHZ-ORD
ATL-KIN
ATL-BJX and other mexico destinations
IAD-DFW
IAD-IAH

It's a great "RJ"

Nothing like flying a narrow body airliner for RJ compensation. What the heck, give ALL scope away to management.

At least USAir got the E190 on their property. I think that was a good move. Get the airplane on property, then negotiate

Yeah call it an RJ for shatty RJ pay, the 170 should be compensated under Major pilot pay. Ever since I saw that aircraft its nothing than a SJ!!! *scabjet!*

To bad the east temper tantrum screwed up the last part.

I agree with you in regards to your Compensation statment. My Question is, do you feel that because the 170/175 is now beng flown at the regional level that all pilots flying it are Scabs????????????

I also agree w/ you about the compensation part- But ask yourself--did any of the pilots flying for republic have a voice in how many 170's it got to fly? That decision was something mainline pilots were not strong enough to stop-- and i resented it every day i flew on a crj-- not only did i fly mainline pax around at c-scale wages- i didn't have any seniority rights either-- young pilots have been completely screwed over by older generations.... It's my biggest complaint about the US seniority battle... there are so many pilots in their 40's at usair w/ 20+ years of service b/c they got hired into Fokkers and Bac jets... Now that sized airplane is flown by sh!tty commuters that none of us really want to fly for- but have to in order to be qualified for the majors- a job that keeps getting farther and farther away as Major MEC's release scope more and more.

Noone has looked out for my generation's seniority- yet you want me to value yours??

Now-- you look at new hire classes- and there are no mid-20's guys who aren't super-connected- most are well into their 30's and 40's--

Look in the mirror if you want to call anyone a scab when you see that plane-- you voted it there. In fact, do that everytime you see a jet or large turbo-prop-- all those pilots should be on your list-

oh- and btw-- thank you for getting the 190 on the property-- i'd have quit the business if that got scoped=-- but you should remember that republic pilots make a LOT more than US mainline pilots at the same longevity. Maybe ya'll should have voted in teamsters.
