[buzzoffyou]

US Airways is going to start flying to JFK out of CLT three times a day on SEPT 6. They're not giving Jetblue any slack. Check it out at

Fight is on. Majors are stepping up like they used to do. Turf protection at it's finest.

JetBlue, or Mesa...Things that make you go Hmmm...

Sweet...the commute just got even better.

Mesa's CRJ 900's could be a true asset to US Airways. To my knowledge, America West management has never talked bad about the profits they bring in.

Can SWA compete directly with the low costs of an 85 or so passenger CRJ on a same route?

1st battle of mainline E-190 vs regional CRJ-900. Should be very interesting.

that sh!t is just old hat. BLA BLA BLA we'll have it cleared in 3 minutes.

The CRJ900 is a cramped, uncomfortable airplane. The 190 is a mainline sized airplane with comfortable seats and plenty of leg room. The LTV and "experience" is a bonus.

I predict no shortage of customers for both...especially at the price.

Well I was excited for a moment until I realized that US is going to use MESA. I guess protecting turf is better than not, but isnt the idea to have a equal of better product?

Whats the difference between a "mainline" 190 and a "regional "90 seat rj. Both have the same crew costs. Not to beat an already dead horse.

All you have to do is ride on them, then you will see the difference

The E190 reliability is no longer an issue. All it took was a couple of software upgrades.:beer:

OK, that's flamebait, but it raises an interesting point. Both payscales really suck, but on one, you're getting sucky pay that's at the bottom of the pay scale. On the other you have sucky pay but you're peaked out at the top. Where would you rather be?

Yeah.

Actually I have ridden on both. Once I sit down I cant tell the difference.

The "new and improved" USAir for the new mellinium takes delivery of their first EM190's I believe in November of this year. Initial batch of 15 all to be based in CLT. Once they are up and running watch the Mesa 900's get pulled and sent to other markets. That should level the playing field. Better to use the Mesa 900's as "place holders" to get the your name out in the market, rather than letting JetBlue establish a beach head in the market and starting from behind. Once both have 190's going toe to toe,it wuill be real interesting to see who will win the battle, The airline that offers free TV or the one that offers a frequent flyer program that can take you around the world. Either way, fights on !!

What's my third choice??

It won't be long until JBLU has codeshares with all those heavy's heading over the pond from JFK. That should also help level the playing field.

Easier said than done. Star Alliance and Sky Team already codeshare with several carriers. It might be harded than it looks for JetBlue to hook up with any of them without the big guys raising the BS flag.

And you can fly all over the world, as long as you fly on Tuesday, April 14th, 2056, between the hours of 2 and 4 pm, and you have to connect through Diego Garcia ... Come on, phx, laugh with me!
