There has not been a RFP put out yet just threats! Air Group do not want EMB jets reference Bill Ayer in his conference call in March, they want CRJ 900 aircraft as they have the lowest gallon consumption per passenger! Why would they contract with Compass anyway when your aircraft only seat a few more passengers than our CRJs, they want more passenger seats 90+.
I really don't think it is appropriate to be spreading rumors that will only add to the stress of an already stressed out and concerned pilot group. Should horizon loose the RJ flying and suffer a fleet reduction morale will go further down the tubes and there will almost certainly be a furlough there are a lot of good people here who have given 20+ years of service to this company and made many personal and professional sacrifices’. The rest of the regional airline industry should be supporting us at this time.
