For those considering bidding DFW and worrying about having to fly lot's of short legs, don't worry, American just announced XJT to fly between DFW and FAR using CRJ200. That's a long flight...

Is there any way to see the CPA? When the announcement was made to Skywest about their LA flying it included where they would be serving. Is there any way to find that out about the DFW flying?

That's 841 nm, which is a long trip on the 200. I just saw a reserve assigned trip that was MEM to BOS, which is something like 1100 nm. Long legs for a 200

You short timers are funny. We used to fly 200s ATL-MTY, ATL-PWM, ATL-DSM, ATL-ICT, ATL-SAT, ATL-DFW, ATL-YUL, and many other long legs before we had 700s and 900s.

Ahhhh, the good old days.
Leave MTY around noon at 93'F, bounce through ATL and end up in YUL at 19'F with a windchill of negative bagillion.

And dont forget ATL-FSD, ATL-MFE, and all the SCL/LAX stuff we were doing for a short but wonderous time with the CR2s.

I would go wherever I could get an upgrade...
Way too many ultra-senior FOs are most likely gonna come out of the woodwork again and decide they want to play captain after 12 years of being in the right seat. It's their prerogative with the seniority system, but it's annoying.
