I have seen 50s with XJ on them, but maybe that was back when NWA still had a couple gates there. Same for the Compass EMBs - I haven't seen one in months hence my quote "occasionally Compass"
Maybe they were XJ tail numbers flying for Pinnacle?
In any case, I guess that proves the old adage "Once Delta cuts you to nothing, the next round of cuts falls on the other guy"
Yeah, Mesaba used to do some flights between MSP and CVG with the RJ200. That came to a stop quite a while ago. Mesaba only has 2 airplanes with XJ on the tail. The rest of the 200s came over from Pinnacle/Comair so 17 of them have random numbers and letters. Not XJ. No XJ tail numbers on Pinnacle's planes either. Mesaba does have a hanger there. If you do see XJ planes hanging out in CVG they aren't revenue flights. Remember I was commenting on the post that said Daddy Delta could reduce Mesaba 50 seaters from CVG. That wouldn't include ferry flights.
