There’s a lot of airplanes flying around that are way older than most of the CPZ pilot group 😂.

Maybe our planes would last longer if people weren’t planting them on the runway like they are landing on an aircraft carrier 😂

What is the issue? It isn't hard to land, it's actually quite easy. Forget sight picture if you're not sure what to look for, forget everything... just listen to the countdown.

I thought classes at Compass were full. Didn't know they were so desperate to be hiring guys born in 2007 and later who would view the Delta 175s as "old" though...

Seriously, there's airplanes at Delta flying around without GPS. I think they would retire those before they retire the Compass 175s...

But how else are you supposed to catch the third wire?

Yes exactly. Quite a bit older than the 175s.

Its nuts to me how the MD88s at Delta are flying around in better shape than CP 175s. The 175 is a great airplane, however since its newer tech and mostly electric, the MX upkeep is like on a BMW and CPZ hasn't been doing it well. Not at the fault of the mechanics but mngmt. The 88s at Delta are surprisingly in good shape minus cockpit trim falling off everywhere and awful flight deck seats.

They were that way when we took delivery, 30 years ago.

I think it’s pretty telling that Delta doesn’t have a clue what to do with it’s regional fleet plan. EDV has been told for the last couple months to expect a 2019 fleet plan soon and we still aren’t expecting one any time soon but being in RGT recently getting to hear management spread all the rumors running around C tower this is the first time they didn’t promote any rumors or just outright shot down something that someone heard on the line. The silence has me thinking that one of the Delta regionals is dead in the water and they have legal reasons that they are keeping everything so close. My guess CPZ gets cut as well as GoJet. EDV MX has people that were sent to training on the ERJ in June.

I’m guessing you’re hearing radio silence because there is just nothing to talk about. Our Delta contract expires in 2020 so negotiations probably won’t start until sometime next year.

But about the BMW analogy in regards to the 175, pretty spot on. The question is how are other airlines like OO and Combrick handling it?
