For January we have 64 CRJ FOs assigned to IAD with 47 lines awarded. This went up to 51 lines for Feb. I don't believe we got a pilot assignment list for Feb- it can be real hit or miss sometimes.

The CRJ CPA was signed in 2010 for 5 years... 2015. Nice try though.


Has potential to be renewed but with our performance, I doubt it.

Most likely after 2015, IAD will be an ERJ only base. The writing is on the wall. And fwiw, I doubt the 820-830 series CRJs there will last much longer than that.

Thanks for belittling me with the worn out contractor crap. I hope it helps you sleep better at night knowing you've reached middle age and ****ed your life away in a failed career.
Delta's attorneys and executives are smarter than even the mighty, big talking, Captain Tony. You're crazy if you think Delta can't get what it wants. If they want to restructure an agreement then they will find a way. Even it it means making drastic decisions. They have in the past and will in the future. Like I said, unless you've been bent over you don't understand and your post proves my point.

And what are you talking about when you say Delta doesn't have the money?

Not supporting tony in any way shape or form, but Delta is leveraged at 83%. Most in debt of any Legacy Carriers. Good thing they're bringing in lots of dough right now.

I was just wondering what Tony was trying to prove when he said Delta doesn't have the money. The money for what? I wasn't making an argument that Delta was going to buy any regional. I was just saying the Delta leadership is ruthless and are very smart business guys who know what they want and get what they want.

Yes, that's how the world works... high paid attorneys state their demands, and everyone gives them whatever they ask for. Ya ok. That's your whole argument? Seriously?

And unless Delta has about 1.5 billion in cash laying around, they're going to have a hard time acquiring SkyWest Inc. That's what I mean.
