Yup. July is when we will definitely feel the effects of the AA deals.

I have never been called gramps before 😂😂. But you are correct, there is no guarantee. However they need us more than you think . We are actually covering some flying for Skypest and Republic and mainline can’t even handle what they got . We cover thousands of flights . How do you figure on them shutting us down ?Unless the Board of directors wants to just sell Delta off and split it in half (which I highly doubt) .

200s say so long. They sacrifice frequency to some markets in exchange for bigger planes. Some 900s become flown by mainline pilots

Your own CEO stated Endeavor intentionally takes on less flying than they can handle, then covers flying for another carrier if they can’t handle a few flights.

That’s like you running 2 laps in a Relay Race while everyone else runs 5 laps then bragging about “covering” for an extra lap. LOL

Sounds like you guys tried to compete with the big boys these past few months by running 5 laps. Sounds like it didn’t go well…. Raises a lot of questions whether you can actually be an efficient airline if you ask me.

Delta doesn’t need you, they NEED more A220’s to replace the 900 routes so you guys can replace your 200 routes with the 900.

We shall see . I don’t know who is gonna fly all these A220’s and they aren’t gonna fly hundreds or thousands of flights with 50 to 60 people on board . The 220 took over the long routes the 900 did but we do hundreds and thousands of flights weekly that are less than 500 miles with 50 to 60 people on board . Even if they payed us 30 to 50 dollars more an hour they are still going to make money on those routes with the RJ 7/9’s . They don’t want to cancel and combine too many flight segments from cities because then you alienate your bread and butter customers to other airlines . You don’t want to lose revenue or take away too many flight options for customers. But we shall see soon I guess .

That's a prepandemic mindset. The business travelers aren't there. Look at load factor. The industry is running high load factors. The philosophy seems to be quantity over quality. The day will come soon when it'll make more sense to bring planes in house and not pay high rates to regional pilots and run 2 airlines

This is what I said last fall and I got stones hurled at me. More and more are coming around. Most 76 seat flying will be done by the majors. Those in the current regional model will be just a small portion.

Only if the business class comes back, otherwise itll just be big jets going back and forth.

Stop trying to run an airline. It's not your job. You fly planes. Log your hours and be ready for your next job.
It will come faster than you think.

The 76 seaters would fly to the same places with the same seat configuration, with the same passengers. Your statement does not follow.
