God I hope we get someone elses 75s. I fly the ATA birds A LOT. They are POS's. They may be OK after they go through a full refurb, but for now, YUCK.

Never flown a Bus, but I'm waiting for that LAX A330 base . Heck, I'll fly a Cessna 152 if it pays more.
I agree, I loved that airplane. Only one problem. I'd go months making perfect landings certain that I was as good as it got in the 727. Then a bone crushing smash on the deck - and I didn't do anything different! Where the hell did that one come from? - I would stupidly ask my FO.

Before ACARS, we had to write down our ON and IN times for the logbook. After one of those hard landings, my FO said: Well - we know what time we touched down...it's when both clocks stopped!

DOHHH!!

I agree with Bigdaddie. You said something about the airlines needing to price the product based on what the product costs.

That's just crazy talk.

or that USAIR is really trying to raise capital Not to mention they already have regionals flying for them with 90 seats thus taking away from the E190s appeal for them. However the appeal at DAL would be different since they are limited at 76 seats if at a regional. Interesting none the less considering some of the rumors that are floating

I think that those jets have a better chance of going to MEH than DAL. 25 is not enough jets to make a dent.
Now if it accompanied another order, there might be some weight to it.
