Haven't heard anything about it though.
The CRJ200 program when it started was a disaster. Too many planes trying to come on too quickly to cover too much flying. They wanted to go from 0 to 44 aircraft in 6 months. It has sinced been revised and slowed down to make things go a lil' more reasonable. I did CAL stuff allllll last month and actually enjoyed it...which was a far cry from the one trip I did in April where I wanted to kill myself. For as much flak as CHQ gets for it's operation in IAH, it's not ALL our fault. We've made a LOT of improvements on our share of the problem. CAL has also recognized that fact.
