Why not?

And why are you in favor of DC-9-10 sized aircraft being outsourced to the lowest bidder, off of our seniority list entirely?

Weren't the DC9-10s at NWA 78 seats? Didn't the pay the same as the DC950s? Isn't the 717 the same as a DC950? I really don't understand the "no thanks." you fly the 717, don't you?

While your 717 schedule may feature 5 legs a day, E-175 crews are doing 2-3 legs a day with a nice variety of flying.

Yeah, who would want that to be at the career carrier vs. a vendor.? :eek:

Who would want the chance to bid to fly on that ghastly machine, that rolled out the same time as the 777, is loved by passengers, has the range to do some unique missions for it's size, the list goes on.

Alright here is an idea and I have no idea how it'll turn out beforehand, but do any of the CPZ, EV, 9E, RAH or OO guys flying 76-seaters care to share their trips? Pick your favorites.

Bring back the RJ's to Delta. Start with the 76 seat Jets. They always were Delta Jobs. They Still are Delta Jobs. It's time a pilot with a Delta seniority number signs the release while flying one.

Max # of short calls changed?

I'm on reserve and I noticed on the reserve availability list that my max number of short calls is 8 for this month. Did I miss something? Do we have a new LOA? I have not received a reply from my rep asking the question.

That little (MiG) is too close for comfort.

I'll hit the brakes, he'll fly right by.

so go back 10 years, 69 jumbo RJs (counting 34 69-seat Avros), 154 DC9s.

Today -154 DC9s, +88 717s net of -66 mainline jets in this particular mission size. 69 RJs (35 CR7s at DAL and 34 Avro 85s at NWA) became 295 jets or net change of +226. That 295 number can go up to 325, which is above the 255 mark when a deal was reached on the 717.

To me, it looks like they were content operating the jumbo RJs in replacement of the "100 seater" until they got a deal they couldn't pass up on. Now if we've got a chance to bring the jumbo RJs to mainline, let's get em'. I'd rather have the jumbo RJs on property than outsourced, heck, I'd rather have the EMB-110 on property than outsourced.

Long live the EMB-110.

Trying to figure out if it is going to be worth it to me.

Thanks.

Just over $5000 per diem, $9000 ProDiem calculated.
