Has anyone heard about E-Jets being used to replace Mad Dogs? 717s were sold as replacing RJs but I've been seeing 'em on a lot of my old 88 trips/layovers. It seems 190/195s are initially being pushed as replacing RJs, too, but if they have a 4-hr range, I don't see them going to Columbus, GA. True, the Mini Dog goes to Augusta, but so did the 88.
I'm a "NO", but if I need to plan on downsizing the house, I'd like to start getting ready.
As John McLain would say "Welcome to the party pal!"
Speaking of those E-Jets, they are a total B scale. A Captain on those pays about the same as a MD88 Co-Pilot.
That's right - an 88 FO. They have more range than the 717 and carry almost as many passengers but pay much, much less.
Why do you think that is?
