You're no true friend if you let someone you know apply to be an FA for a regional

I'm proud to say I've successfully deterred two...by just telling them how much they get paid.

Yeah but think about all the cool places you get to go to...like Moline, Lincoln, and Rochester (that's right folks, both of 'em), just to name a few!

Man i'll tell ya, Lincoln is awesome, i'm pretty sure that it was named after some guy that lived in the early 1980's.

I'm sure they are scheduled to be the LAST 17 airplanes pained of the whole Delta Connection fleet. We all know know the 900 is more important. The Saab and 900's fly blue tail so they need the paint first. I guess?? I don't think it's a bad sign for the 200 fleet. There's just not much of a need to see the blue tail paint in Rochester, MN or Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

I thought originally the 200's would go first since they had older paintjobs. The 900's are all less than 2 years old. The Saabs were all at least 12 (except for the 3 non red ones, though it'd be nice to get rid of the routemap paint to the cities we haven't been to in years.) and the 200's somewhere in between. Now it seems most if not all of the 900's will go first. It does make you wonder a little at least.

I think when it comes to Mesaba they're painting the flagships first. (900's). Just like they did with Northwest and the 747. They're flying blue tail routes. The 200 doesn't fly blue tail routes so why be in a hurry to repaint them?? Pinnacle already has several repainted but they needed it sooo bad. Just like the Saabs need it really bad AND they fly blue tail.
What do you mean when you say "It makes you wonder a little at least"?

AND the 200 paint isn't that old. It's the newer paint scheme and way newer than the Saab and a lot of the Pinnacle planes. The 200s look really nice.
