I was a new hire on the CRJ and upgraded on the CRJ as well before joining the dark side (E175). All 4 check airman who checked me out on the CRJ gave me some BS of why they haven’t/won’t move on, are now at SWA.

I’d initially assume those 9E guys would pick to keep their QOL, but when big daddy D is literally offering them a job to the promise land, no questions asked, I wouldn’t be surprised to see higher numbers than expected.

Every situation is different. 2-3 years left probably isn’t worth it. Especially if you are a sim instructor driving to work crediting 100 hrs / month. When you calculate the pay… 3 years DL vs EDV is probably pretty close. Factor in costs starting over. Commuting/Crashpad/training.

It's not going away, Embraer just cant sell more in the US. And that is assuming that the rule stands as is without waivers.

Because Delta wasn’t woke yet. Delta has claimed they are lowering arbitrary barriers to designed to exclude people. You'd have to assume they failed over a bonafide qualification issue not an arbitrary barrier.

It’s production, not operation. You can fly whatever you want after that point, but cannot produce, as I understand it.

Put it this way, that engine was developed for the A10 and the S3. Even the US military has retired that thing.

104,000 lbs could be the new 86,000lbs.

The Delta pilots talk smack about scope on web boards, but they elect Reps who would trade scope for a mirror to admire themselves in and ten fans on ChitChat.

TF-34-100 engines are depot'd at WRB in Georgia. I know they still go there since we are still operating the A-10. I don't know where the ones on the CRJ are going.

Just pointing out the TF-34 is still in service out there in the USAF.

There is/was talk of re-engine the A-10 with the fan/core portion of the GE F404-400 motor. I think that died off a decade or so ago.

I just stumbled across this article talking about an August schedule reduction by Delta. The math in the article of 4,300 flights and 302,000 seats works out to 70.2 seats per flight, and ~4 flights per day for 35 aircraft. The routes shown are also predominantly RJ routes. Could this be Delta pulling 35 RJs out of the network? I thought I read that they weren’t operating those aircraft this summer.

Does anyone see something else I’m missing?

The 35 are already out of the network. As we speak Republic is moving DCI 170s over to Eagle flying. There are no 35 jets ready to go just awaiting activation. There might be a handful that can be brought back, but DCI is actively shrinking with no new orders currently.

867RW, formerly DCI paint, left Amarillo in shiny new American paint last week. In service with Eagle now.
