On the news front, only a few over 100 so far for the early out, 5500 series 75's will start going to the desert in the fall. Possible interviews of new hires in late fall early winter, with hiring in early 13.

Scope buster = an RJ that sits more than the scope clause allows but can still economically fly within the scope clause limits patiently awaiting for more seats to be allowed.

Sorry George i dont see how MRJs remove Skyw from dci? Its a cr9/e175 size airplane with geared turbofans and less range. They'll put 76 seats on it and it will probably be the staple of rj feed in the 20's.

IF... Delta wants it to be flown at the connection level.

Then, you will see those aircraft on a ramp near you, painted in Delta colors, flying our passengers. Unless, of course, ALPA steps up and... well, nevermind....
You're on man. I'll pay up too. $130 it is.

I agree that SkyW has tipped their hand. They can't be that blind. I mean if they want to buy a 76 seat model, and use it to replace CRJ-900s, then fine. I can spend $130 on that.

Pinnacle, IMHO, will be the windfall candidate for the new 900s. With DAL management firmly in control of their costs, there's no reason to even need a whipsaw. "Do it for this, or else". I don't see why anyone would even question that. We all know that they treat us the same way sometimes. The PNCL Creditors committee will extract maximum return with the most flying - and they will posture PNCL to get the most bang for their investment dollar.

We need some quotes from Airplane! See a broad to get dat booty yak em...

I'm earning more for flying the same. No need for me to stretch my food dollar.

The only thing official mentioned we may hire as early as fourth quarter this year if the TA passes. It passed so we may hire this year.
