Maybe you're thinking XJT? The current EDV rumor is we're back to getting 700s from a certain airline that rhymes with slow pet.

Can we set up a website for all airline rumors so we can track which ones come true. I'm starting to not be able to follow all the gossip. Hell we can even put money on it.

I thought that was what APC was created for?

Ah yeah that's who I was talking about!

So that's the flavor of the week now. In a week or two it will be back to our 175s I'm sure!

Current rumor in the Republic thread is that Delta wants them to be trained in CRJs:

https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/r...js-coming.html

exactly why they think that, I'm not sure. I'd say it would be ridiculous for them to expect Delta to not give any additional CRJ flying they have to their own wholly owned but then Alaska did give some of Horizin's best routes to Skywest. Ridiculous things do happen.

Under the three-regional plan/rumor/conspiracy theory, Delta allegedly wants each of its regionals to have CRJ and ERJ capabilities.

Been awhile since my college business and Econ courses, but it is difficult for me to understand a business case where Delta would want its regional's to increase their overhead by having parts inventories and training programs to support aircraft they do not actually fly. I'd be glad to listen to anybody with a rationale to suggest why they might do that but none comes to my mind currently.

Probably what happened is Bombardier is fire discounting there CRJ’s. So what Republic/Compass/TSA was hopping for was ERJ’s hence the ERJ LOI. Maybe Delta changed there mind and wants CRJ’s... so they have to bid to fly them. Or not..
