GSO works for the larger jets because the loads allow for it. I hated that flight in the Dash 8 100's because we always had to leave some behind, especially if an alternate was needed. The 300 worked well. And what E190? I don't see the remaining 190's on property past early 2010. Of course there are some routes that don't fill mainline equipment, but I think the 319 could do this or the 733. Even the 190 if it stayed around. My point was that it feels like mainline has it out for the Wholly Owned carriers. This bit them in the but years ago because them not wanting us to fly opened the door for the contract carriers to explode! I don't feel like we get a whole lot of respect from anyone just because we fly the Dash 8. I just wounder if they realize that the jets, including PSA, are doing routes that should be done by mainline, not necessarily PDT. If a RJ is needed for the route, then I do hope they give it to PSA, but PDT isn't taking their flying.
