Is that funny? I’m not going to post Scott Kirby’s resume on here. He loves regional jets and is responsible for the Mesa 86 seat RJ carve out at America West/Usairways. He’s also responsible for the CRJ550 to circumnavigate scope.

He’s been Doug Parker’s right hand man since America West.

“This is how we will grow the mainline,” Kirby said. But “we have [fewer] 76-seat aircraft than American Airlines. If we’re trying to fly a 50-seat product to Rochester, and competitors are flying 76 seaters into Minneapolis or Chicago, we will lose that battle.”

Kirby said adding 76-seaters is a “win-win” because feeding the mainline creates better opportunities for mainline pilots, but he noted, “I get why our pilots are really nervous about this – if I were a pilot, I’d be really nervous about it.”

He loves regional jets. I worked under his umbrella in my regional jet days. Hopefully that clears up your LOL WUT?
