We will phase out the SUPER DUPER 80. We will get C Series and operated them procedurally exactly like the 80.

Anything under 1000nm and the 195-E2 is actually a more efficient airplane vs the C series on total trip costs. It would be perfect for all our regional (but larger market) routes out of DFW since it is fairly centrally located to those markets, and with not very many sales maybe they are looking to deal.

I remember all the crying guys were doing with the Group I rates thinking we'd replace our Group II aircraft with hundreds of them.

Delta's advantage is they paid almost nothing for their C series but were rumored to owe Bombardier a royalty anytime the aircraft is operated over 1000nm.

Also the C series is a much nicer aircraft inside with a better passenger experience (the E190 product feels much more cramped and regional-ish). It's a nice airplane and Delta certainly made the right call especially at their price point. What a deal. It's incredible how their management always hits home runs.

Please lead by example with an upward swinging hand motion to indicate the gear retraction.

CS 100 is five abreast(seatguru.com). 20% of the seats are middle seats.

The E series I've been on are four across. Zero middle seats. I'd take that over any five or six abreast n/b.

If the E-190v2 is more efficient under 1000 nm I hope we buy a bunch of them.

Tell APA to negotiate a better pay scale for G1 aircraft.

Everyone needs to email their reps and the NC about Group 1 rates. It’s very important in this contract, because like em not (and I’m with Sliceback, hope we buy a ton) they are in our future. Group 1 Capt should pay more than Group 2 FO. Group 1 FO shouldn’t pay year 1 rates during your second year...

I predict with the upcoming wave of retirements, PAX that fly on most of the 76 seat RJs will be on the CS100 (or the like) flown by Group I mainline. That will be a huge bunch of Group I flying.

PAX that fly on a majority of the 50 seat RJs will be on the 76 seat RJs with less frequency. Only very thin routes will still fly 50 seat RJs.

The regionals will shrink and consolidate. In a few years they will look like a skeleton of what they are today.

That is what my crystal ball says (which has a track record of being pretty accurate).

They took that out quite a while back ago.

Of course, I'm sure we will keep right in calling out normal indicatins on approach, like "Stable" and perfectly normal Speed/Sink Rates.

And who's idea was it ever to call out "4 lights"?
That has never been in the book.

The "Stable" call on approach is pretty much a standard amongst operators.

Should pay more than G4 FO in my opinion. It’s a legacy airline captain position. It should pay like one.
