Oh man this is getting good, ops freq. was tight up for about 5 minutes because our friendly CRJ regional didn't want to comply with the instructions from ops. Real professional guys! Start an argument on freq. during peak time at IAH.

Here's some facts for you girls, since ya'll were throwing stats around:

XJT operates an average of 36,000 flights for CAL on a monthly basis, our controllable completion factor is

99.8%

A CRJ200 cannot replace a ERJ145XR on range and payload, hence the denied boardings averaging $70K a month at GSO, SDF, MSP, COS (which went back to XJT), STL, the list goes on and on.

CAL wanted to diversified as stated by both Larry and Jeff, and that is the reason why the 69 aircraft were release.

Facts nothing but facts, I can't wait to hear the excuses!!!
