This is the CRJ-200s potential:

Yup, 7011 was the first CRJ delivery in North America.

Up for grabs if anyone wants to take over the lease payments.

The FA20s started to get phased out at Federal Express after the Airline Deregulation Act was passed in 1978 and Fred Smith started buying 727s.
Boiler, can I use you as my mobile shout out on Cash Cab for the aviation question?

I heard the same thing about the 600 being designed for Fedex in fact the first few 600's had basically a cargo door as the entry door. I think they have retrofitted all of those by now.

You don't know why? Then you must not work there.

Because Delta Sucks! (that is the reason for everything at DCI carriers)
Delta keeps telling Comair to cut expenses and washing planes cost money, so.....why wash planes? Who cares if the passengers have to see a disgusting, dirty aircraft pull up to the gate with all the rivets showing, paint peeling, etc...
I had a few occasions where pax actually asked me if the plane was safe to fly on. Nice!
If you want to be a first class operation, then act and look like a first class operation. But, that's just my thoughts.
