Oh wait WE DO! the a220 can do all an rj does with more capacity more frieght and more profits with better customer experience thats has been unrivaled. All with the capability of flying across the pond, west coast to hawaii and into extreme lucrative markets like London city non stop.

From: 7ER B...whatever that means.
Default Don't Forget About the Top End

As long as we're talking about scope, let's not let this slip through the cracks.
KLM Adding Six New Intercontinental Destinations

Of specific interest is this
This aircraft type (787-9) will also be used to operate flights to Orlando in Florida (four times a week)

Looks to be operated as a "triangle" flight AMS-MCO-MIA-AMS on Mondays and Sarurdays and AMS-MIA-MCO-AMS Thursday and Sunday. Flights that were formerly operated by Delta. I know there are a lot of distractions these days but it behooves us to keep our heads on a swivel.

Please spread this around the 9E halls - this IS your best course IF it moves that direction.

Too bad some on here from the 9E side don't see it.

Staple is already being spread over here at 9E...It was even asked during our mec call 2 days ago. I for one would prefer it.

I would ignore posts from people who have registered in the last few weeks only to post in these threads. The trolling posts seem to be only coming from these few.

Yup. I operated it once. Pretty decent trip. Went super senior most of the time.

WE need to shore up the whole scope wall for sure.

Don't sell yourself short. Our pilots deserve more than a staple.
