[QUOTE=buddies8;1179318]Boyd has failed again, scope at all mainlines and AA will be included allow up to 90 seats at the regional non mainline airline. so his statement of 80+seats back to in house aint gonna happen.
Negative. Scope at DAL is 76. Scope at UAL is 70. EMB 190s are flown by mainline at LCC. So who's scope is 90 seats???? Wrong
Boyd was all for the regional airlines and regional jets until he was hired by APA at AA and from then on he has gloom and doomed the regional airlines. Only reason he is even partly correct is because of the banking fiasco with mortgages and the oil speculations. If they had not happened, nothing he spouts would have even come close to happening.
Yeap. Comair parking half their fleet was all about AA and the banking fiasco. wrong again
He is correct in one way somewhat, that in house it will be, the mainlines will again start to own there feed airline so as to control the quality of customer service so they can stop loosing corporate accounts.
That is exactly what the mainline carriers that did own their feed are NOT doing. DAL sold ASA at a huge loss. DAL couldn't sell Comair so they are slowly just letting them die. DAL/NWA sold Mesaba and Compass. AMR has been trying to get rid of Eagle. Where do you come up with this stuff?? Wrong once again
AA has to double is domestic regional feed just to be equal with DAL, UCAL and UCC. AA is not going to expand domestic coverage with the mainline just to compete with a E175 or CRJ900 aircraft. An AA cramped 757 and 737 is worse than AE's CRJ700's, that is a given fact.
Oh yea. a Given Fact. Well you got me there. And who says they have to double their feed? you? If they merge with US Airways they ought to be just fine. What they need to do is pare that Eagle emb fleet, and hire Gojets or Republic to feed them. I am sure ALPA could work out a pref hire deal for the displaced bankrupt Eagle guys. maybe start you out at 2nd year pay or something.
