So far this is the third time I've heard this 700 rumor in about 4 years. Every time it quietly dies and GoJet lives another day. H$ll, this last time they actually got rewarded because they sucked so bad in New York. Those airplane are pretty ratty. I think it would be a project for a while

The 200s from EV are in much better shape than G7s 700s. Those things have been rode hard and put away wet

You have any evidence of that or is it just useless conjecture? At the end of the day we fly what Daddy D tells us to fly. We have no real control over that. While I would hate to be saddled with G7's old 700's our MX team would bring them up to scratch.

Sample size bias obviously, but I usually have more issues with the older Mesaba XJs.

XJs are fine, that stupid HUD moulding thing above my head needs to go.

Which is better to use for the application? Airline Apps or their own "expedited" one on the website? I put mine in Monday night using their own but haven't heard anything yet.

When I applied it was only via AirlineApps.

Both should work. Just give it another few days into next week otherwise call and check to make sure it was received. Sometimes they call within a day or two sometimes it can be longer. Patience

Patience indeed

. The only thing with their own internal app there's no way to track it's status, not even an email confirming it was received, so that's why I was a little curious about how long it takes on average to hear back.
