Intend for the contract, yes. Number of planes that will be in that contract is the question. They have extended the contract several times for the last few years, but the number of planes on the contract are always the big question.

It is kind of like this line in the Quick take:

CRJ fleet transitioning to all dual class CRJ-900/CRJ-700 aircraft

they could have just said:
Removing all the CRJ 200 and adding them to the SkyWest name.

 

But that would not have been true. Some will end up at SKW, some at Endeavor, and some parked. What they said was actually true, although still apparently bad news.

 

Just saw this from Embraer social media. Truly heart breaking from what I've heard about this place in the old days. https://mobile.twitter.com/undefined...70076275425281

 

Interesting reads over on the Commutair board. Things not going to well over there. Guess that grass is not always greener!!

 

Yeah seems they bit of more than they can chew... They picked a hell of a time to try and double the seniority list when everyone is fighting to just net 0 with attrition.

 

The one picture with the engine access door open, that would be correct for the times! We had engines shutting down in flight for months 20 years ago. The one with the main cabin door open isn't correct, that door wasn't retrofitted for about a year after the first deliveries. The first a/c starting at #925 came with the airstair doors, they sucked!

Man, those planes were so underpowered ATC kept asking us what they were! We couldn't climb greater then 1000' per minute and accelerate at the same time. None of us even flew a jet before much less flew higher the 25,000'. My first time at 370 was also the captain's first time. We both said "I've haven't been this high in an airplane before and at the controls!" we had no idea what we were doing! Now 20 years later, I'm still flying these things and I can't get hired by a legacy because I'm to qualified! God dam Greek tragedy!

 

You just need to devote your min days off not to your family and mental well being, but to serving meals to three legged needy inner city blind animals... Supposedly, that's what makes you a good pilot nowadays, but don't quote me on that.

 

This x1000 😂

 

Unless their CCF is at least 95%, I doubt anything will change.

 

Unless you have the "special" qualifications...
