Anyone have any idea what's up it? Are they seriously getting to the point that its cheaper to abandon 200's rather than fixing them?

I saw it Monday and was wondering the same thing. Hmm... wonder what broke

Saying ASA is just the easiest way of ending/continuing a conversation in the hotel shuttle. I don't... know why this is a big deal? The two sides are together only via the name but everything else for the most part is still separate.

Now that's funny :D the 10 second awkward thing. I've ran into that too. I'm ATL 200 and have picked up a IAD trip before and thought it almost foreign to see both ERJ/CRJ crews in the same lounge chatting it up. I remember thinking "this is how it should be" and now if we could just get that vibe company wide I could really dig it! You know UNITY and all that jazz. ;)
