What a maroon.

If E175s were eminent, you'd know IPs who had been sent for training, several departments in the GO would be writing manuals, and the union would have been notified to begin negotiations for a new type. I have sources in all of these departments, and none of this has yet occurred.

No E-Jets (for now).

[edit: YES I know the L-XJT side is in arbitrated negotiations for a 76 seat aircraft. I believe this is CRJ equipment to whipsaw the L-ASA side, not EMB equipment, since none of the other above mentioned things are taking place.]

Because Captain Tony rumors from his top end sources are always true.....

Anyways,

E175s are not eminent that's why its a rumor. Any E175 announcement would likely have a start date well into 2014. Inc. Management has publicly stated it would take 6-12 months to get an E175 program ready.

ASA pay scales are based on number of seats not aircraft type genius. I thought you had "rote memorization" of the contract
