Who would want to fly around Colorado in a B1900 for $15/hour without an autopilot?
i dont mean to be rude, but isnt this the kettle calling the pot black? im not skw or brasilia bashing. i might upgrade in the brasilia who knows. but anyhoo when you go to one of these places to fly commuters you dont hold a crystal ball in your hand. people went there because a) it was the only place they could go based on their circumstances or b)it was the first company to call them for an interview
anyway back to the subject. yes mainline guys have all the say in this one, so it will be interesting to see what happens. its interesting though that AA has done away with their F100's and have no plans whatsoever to replace them. I wonder what theyre going to replace the 80's with. umm i mean "super" 80's
