I hope with that RFP that some of the new proceeds from the bargaining table would increase the pilot wages, but that's just a little too positive huh? I'm all for consolidation anyways. I don't see ExpressJet lasting that much longer with the fuel sky rocketing like that.

Those xr seems really fue efficient as the CRJ200 (last time I flew it) at FL310 was burning about 1450pph/per side at .74M. I also thought that Embraer isn't producing the XRs anymore. :?
