We have 42 CRJ 200s, no contract, and I believe Skywest has 87, 26 of which are at risk flying, the others there, appear to be off contract by the end of next year. The last we heard, Delta plans to keep the 200's flying through 2022.

Great! If my aging spine continues to curve, I will finally be able to look out the windows.

But OK, I'll play. 125 < unlimited. They are not (apparently) flying all 125 they are allowed. Why would "unlimited" change that equation?

As of the 2Q report ending 30 Jun 2018 Delta was operating 128 50 seaters. Total system RJ’s 453 so they were 3 over the limit.

As to the discussion of numbers of 50 seaters: I definitely believe we needed a limit or management certainly would have bought more, but management is no longer in love the small RJ and looking to get rid of them whenever they can without spending $$ they don’t need to spend.

Interesting that the MEC has not informed us that management seems to be out of compliance.

Sailing, quick question. Whats run first, WS, PD or Swaps? If I have a Swap in, could I not get it if someone, (even junior to me) has a straight WS in? So if I really want it, should I PD and WS to give myself the best chance?
Thanks
Thanks

If you're feeling lucky, drop then WS. WS processes before swaps. Learned that the hard way. Fortune favors the bold!

I met up with the Legendary Denny Crane in SEA - all I can say is that he is as generous as he is wise.
Thanks Denny!
