Thanks!



Its supposed to be an operational spare but its in regular service on the United side. There are no spares at TSA. TSA no longer flies for American.

It's good to see that someone finally called Gojets out on what they are. If only UA alpa had the same amount of guts...

(And I agree with the poster before: How dumb do you have to be as a furloughed UA guy to go do YOUR JOB for 20% of your pay? Why exactly would they recall you if you're willing to fly the same routes at gojet for a tiny fraction of your original paycheck???)

Be careful out there!

But yet you want to take back the Gojet flying. You want to be the person flying the guppy replacement jet, and now you are berating that UA furlough for flying that airplane. Those plane were coming whether the UA furloughee was flying them or not.

Who are you and what world do you live in? The -700 is bad, but it is no guppy-killer...

Just because it doesn't look like one, it doesn't mean that the not doing the same job. Last I checked they carry the same amount of people.

737s only carry 66 people now? Last I checked, the CRJ-700 and the "Guppy" or the "Guppy killer" have very different seating capacities. The "Guppy Killer" is the 190/95 which are both 100+. The 175 only caries 76 seats (looks similar but has half the capacity of the 737) and the 170 only caries 66 seats (all of those numbers are including first class seats).

As I've stated before, HE should take HIS job back, for 100% of HIS pay at HIS airline... When mainline comes to take everything with a jet engine back, I'll be happy to see it go. Until then, he should probably avoid prolonging his own furlough, don't you think?
