Could be Eagle, Rah, F9, Skywest. Technically they are all Majors. Maybe they dont want the labor unions knowing before hashing out a relief in scope?

Does anyone know what a "F" stands for in Icrew>Open time>daily trip coverage? Is there a list of what all the codes stand for anywhere?

Click on "Help." Everything is explained. It means greenslip with less than 12 hours to report. I am guessing this was given to a reserve on long call.

Because I was sober I don't remember kicking and screaming either.

The 'Major Network Carrier' order was placed in 2011 Aerospace > Media Centre > Press Releases

And I'm doubting it's SKYW as they have a firm order for 100 Mitsu jets.

The Network order is also only 10 jets...who would make such a small order for a new jet unless it's for their feeder like Compass etc?

Baja.

If it was any legacy it would have been AA and they wouldn't have counted stacks for so many mini busses already. I mean heck even busted @$$ USAir still flies the E190 on the mainline. If its for DL, its for DALPA pilots to fly. Period.

Look, I love a good consipracy covered in cynicism with a sarcastic cherry on top as much as anyone, but just because its a new airframe doesn't mean its scope relief. Come on y'all.
