If you're saying that XR's going to Trans States are broken ass airplanes with 5 MEL's every time we fly one...well then you're right. The not being able to fly them like XJET does is where you're losing me. Please elaborate...I need a good laugh.

They weren't like that when we had them.
As for not operating them like xjt, the only thing I can think of if those Mels is for the center tank and the thrust reverses. Or that the w&b program isn't as sophisticated, or not using ETO, etc. I don't know. I'm not saying that is the case but other than that and maybe a couple of other things, I don't know what else would be different.

The only thing different is Trans States took out the FA Jumpseat. Don't really know why. Everything else is still the same. 3 hour routes (way too long in a 145) with center tanks and flaps 18 takeoffs. Nothing's changed. I don't really know what that other guy was referring to. As far as the MEL's, Xjet flew the heck out of these things, so it doesn't really surprise me.
Yeah, but we haven't operated them with that many Mels since Skywest first took over. They since have learned. But if you don't have enough parts in stock, you will run them with multiple Mels. That's what Skywest tried to do.
The only other thing I can think of is our proprietary w&b, smartCI, aerodata, and ACF.
