Didn't these things come with seats in them ? I think they even had a blue cover.
Well? Spray some cleaner on them, stick those in and let's go.
Seats have been a hot button issue since some Asian carriers were found to be non compliant. Sequestration, Miami, an out of production design, the work outsourced and perhaps under the direction of a competitive rival who was going to pay us to take them off theirs hands and who now realizes these things might be a small part of a bigger play at Delta who is spending billions on new jets at its new wholly owned subsidiary .... What could go wrong?
As new $38,930,000.00 regional jets start to pile up ... crap, probably time for me to stop posting on web boards.
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec 6, 2012) - Bombardier Aerospace announced today that Delta Air Lines, Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia has placed a firm order for 40 CRJ900 NextGen regional jets and has taken options on an additional 30 CRJ900 NextGen aircraft.
Based on the list price of the CRJ900 NextGen aircraft, the firm order is valued at approximately $1.85 billion US, and could reach approximately $3.29 billion US if the 30 options are converted to firm orders.
The new CRJ900 NextGen regional jets will be configured with 76 seats in a two-class cabin and will be operated by Delta Connection carriers to be determined by Delta Air Lines.
Ya know, we could hire Delta pilots for these airplanes....
