And I'm sorry to hear of your furough. I've been through many, and they suck.

My apology for not explaining myself clearly, but my comment is not baseless. US Airways sold 10 E190’s to RAH and they are working on the rest of the fleet. My guess is RAH will pick up some of the flying that US Airways is doing using the E190’s .

Cannot happen for a few things... Scope for one, and secondly the number of large RJ's are already over the limit allowed (greatly over). In the end it's more likely USairways folds then that happening.

You mean they're going to fly overnight packages in them thru MEM? No wait, you mean LUV has decided to fly 190's after all?

What were we thinking?
4200 mile range is a Lineage 1000 (E-190BJ) and is a pure bizjet. They installed fuselage tanks to give it that range. Night and day from an airline version.

Well all this US Airways change is part of the "set up" splitting the east and west and selling the west to RAH and east to AMR. So the International routes are not a big deal. It will mostly end up going out of JFK on the silver Boeing birds.

More cuts at Airways, I hate to hear that this is happening. I feel for the mainline folks affected by this one.

I wonder when mgmt is going to get the hint that cutting to profitability is NOT a viable strategy. If Parker/etc claimed that a fleet of 25 E190s was too small to make the program worthwhile, how they're liking 15? I swear....taken 1 at a time, you can rationalize all these decisions, but put together, it's just nonsense.

Wow! 1 post and someone turns this into a RAH thread. Get over it. The fact that you are a CRJ driver is so comical as well.

So who is on the "bottom" of the list now? In other words, did they ever finalize their merged seniority list? Who get furloughed now--east guys, west guys or some combination of both?
