Grow up, this is the problem with airlines hiring 20 yr old, 500 hr wunderkinds.
I didn't say anything about cal giving up scope on the 70 or 90 seaters, I just said that it might not be the crj200 that would be used. The letter that was sent to the xjet ceo from the cal ceo did say that CAL had already negoiated a new contract with skywest.
Btw, you should be the last one to talk about 500 hour wunderkids. That seems to be all what xjt has hired in the last 2 years. I don't need to remind you that skywest has a firm 1000 hour total time requirement?
I don't know why you expressjet pilots get so defensive, seems like everything is pretty cut and dry about the future.
