Seems as if they have just confirmed the options and have specified when and what config the planes are going to be in.
Wish the article specified delivery dates.

From what HM said, the delivery date is dependent on when the "Next Gen" Qs (or whatever they call the Qs with larger overhead bins) are ready. He said Colgan's orders were "near the front".

Different set of planes. Those were new orders for 15 firm deliveries for CAL ONLY with the first delivery slated for August 2010 and the last to arrive somewhere around maybe june 2011. I cant remember the end date but August is accurate. In addition to that they also confirmed 15 options for CAL ONLY that would be I believe 2013.

Colgan has options already that we have had for a long time for 15 planes that are for 2010. They were at one point for late 2009 but we traded those options in favor of getting nextgen options which pushed it back until 2010.

These new options I have no idea when they are for. So now what...we have 15 planes for sure coming next year and 45 options for who knows when exactly with the exception of between 2010 and 2013.

There are always rumors and supposedly things are "in the works" but who knows what that means. Our concentration right now is getting all of the membership applications in, electing our MEC and LEC and starting contract negotiations. With any luck we will have contract talks well under way before the 16th Dash comes online.

Gotcha about the deliveries....Like you said hopefully you guys can secure a better contract with better rates for the bigger a/c.

...certainly not. Leave that to those who are qualified. I enjoy being a pro union FO who was glad to vote in favor of progress and will be even more happy to put in my two cents towards contract negotiations and of course voting for a big improvement in the form of a contract.
