The CRJ's were used because Ream created Branded/Charter/Delta and kept the 69 a/c that were supposed to go to Chitty Kitty. That added fuel to the fire of CO getting p/o'ed at XJT.

Yes, I know. I was on property for all that. I'll never forget being called a WCW on that conference call.

Marketing firm. They even made a video to brag about it.

The AquaFresh paint job really grew on me. Most folks I flew with loved the paint job!

I liked it and it was distinctive in a sea of white blue and red variations of livery.

I wonder why nobody mentions that the MEC said no to 175s for delta in 2007? I honesty think this was the beginning of the end of XJT.
their exact words were, “we have no business flying aircraft that size”.
