I also wonder, doesn't XJ have like 15 crj 200s that Delta owns that can be taken away at any time or something like that? Do you think those 200s have a long term future with XJ?
I wouldn't be shocked if Delta tried to Merge XJ and Comair, seems like they are taking those steps now.
You guys must be REALLY good at begging. Send some of those beggers our way...to XJ. At least you aren't furloughing at an amazing pace like Mesaba and Comair.
I don't think PNCL is a special friend. They haven't been touched, just like you guys. I would say Compass is the new special friend. PNCL is just chillin like they usualy do. Nothing new, nothing old with them.
Yes, XJ has 16 RJ200s that came over from PNCL. We also have 2 loaners from Comair. They can be taken and given in the mighty DCI shuffle just like the Saabs, and the 900s.
Merger? Maybe. I hope not. That would be the biggest mess! Could you imagine??
