you guys at american delta and united have 3 of the biggest contract votes in the history of our industry coming your way. TO quote airplane "good luck we are all counting on you" Skywest announces this thing how they are going to buy hundreds of replacement planes and incase people didnt know Trans States Holding Co also has signed intent to buy that mitsubishi regional jet. These are bold moves by CEO's of regionals that think that you guys are going to cave and give in on scope. Pinnacle also has a lot of options on the q 400 as well and they are making a stretch 90 seat version of that so dont count that plane out of scope either. A lot of us regional guys are pulling for you in this battle. We fly the planes we are told to fly. Don't let us fly anything bigger unless I am swinging gear for you (which i am pretty good at i might add)
