Question for anyone...
as a 757 soon to be 7ER qualified based in DTW, how long would a freeze be for a 7ER and 767-400 out of JFK? thanks for any input... |

You mean like a previous 727 operator under the Nwa side...:eek: theve spent slot of money on the conversions in our airbuses and the teams really like them, I doubt they outsource the charter ops as it's profitable as is. plus the NFL/NBA/NHL etc teams aren't going to want to fly in an E-jet, they're nowhere close to as comfy as the buses and other planes we use.

That is a good question. If they weren't wholly owned, I think they could just paint them in their own livery and do what they want with any size airplane in a charter department. I don't know how our scope protects charter operations, but if they got some 100-seaters doing charters Delta could move alot of the narrowbody charter business to CPS.

The previous aircraft were 727's, & now we are using specially configured 319's that hold less then 60 people. In the NW pax config they hold 124. I really don't think an E190 would do the job, as most of the NBA players can barely fit in the A319. ;) |
Though the E-190 is a great platform for scheduled passenger service, it could only be used for collegiate sports charters. Using it for Pro sports teams is one way to lose a contract real quick.
The like bid jets and pay handsomely for them |

The teams are not going to charter that size aircraft. Delta does a lot of charter business. They know what the teams want. I have done a lot of football and baseball charters. You have to keep in mind that you haul a entourage as well as the teams. They want lots of seats and room. The scope clause would not allow such a operation anyway.
