the application for the ads-b mod is supposed to begin soon.. the "new" 900s came to us already wired up for the mod.. just need some equip changes and software... the "legacy" 900s need the entire mod and it is supposed to be done on heavy check cycle..
HERE IS THE RUB.... there has not been one ounce of talk about completing the ads-b mod on the 200s... 31dec2019... tick. tock.
Just my theory.. we are staring at an 81 crj900 fleet unless we pick up some 7s or 9s from someone else and the 200s go away by 2019 in time for more 737s and the c series to pick up the lift at mainline.. but I don't know jack schzit... until I see a 200 with a complete ads-b mod...
