GoJet getting 7 CRJ900s
 

Delta has awarded GoJet 7 CRJ900s and will start delivery June and continue through October. Where are theses birds coming from? Anyone have any insight? The DCI shuffle continues... or maybe they're 7 that Endeavor was supposed to get from the factory but can't staff them??

Endeavor took delivery of the last of the new 40 900's last month. So they are coming from some where else.

Got anymore popcorn?

Hmm, so they're coming from SkyWest or ExpressJet/ASA

Do they plan to get more than 7?

Lmao! Thanks bro that should be enough for this thread

These planes are coming from Lufthansa Not a DCI carrier or from Montreal

Options for 3 more delivery starts in June

Straight from the employee call in yesterday...
The new Delta aircraft are not coming from one of the US regional competitors and will have to go through reconfiguration to the Delta configuration before going on line. These aircraft will be equipped with two lavatories. As of right now GoJet sees these aircraft being operated within the current footprint of operation not adding any new route structures.

Yes coming from Lufthansa Cityline which means they are not new airplanes. All built in 2006.

Airlines are sooooooo worried about a pilot shortage,.......... that they keep ordering regional jets.

Doesn't make much sense, does it.

And keep in mind that you'll hear an announcement this week that another regional airline will be awarded an additional (new) 24 CRJ 900s, (no I won't say who).

Why would airlines continue to order RJ's if they're worried about a shortage of pilots to fly them.

Maybe it was the 25,600 people who took the ATP written in the first half of 2014 that has given the airlines the confidence to continue to bring-on RJ's, (although they won't admit that because they want to scare the government into lowering pilot minimums,...... so they can continue to pay rock-bottom wages to new hire pilots with rock-bottom experience).

Interesting, I thought that Delta was maxed out on 900's due to scope. I guess not! Good info. Anyone know how many more big RJs Delta can add if they're not maxed out according to scope yet?

Amen to that brother!

The concession of 70 more large RJs in 2012 created this. They awarded the 40 to Pinacolaba pretty quickly, but the other 30 had been unaccounted for. I seem to remember Republic getting another 6-12 about 6 months to a year ago and now this bakers half dozen. There should still be 10-15 airframes not spoken for.

Well played, GoJet. Well played.

REALLY??? Who drops a bomb like that then clams up? Certainly not someone with real inside info. So out with it. You "went there" so now put up or shut up. Who's getting them?

Don't be a rumor wh0re!! Let it out!! lol, the trolls need feeding :p

There is a certain airline with a recently planned trip to the bombardier factory in Montreal which is tomorrow...

And that airline starts with a letter "blank" and ends with a letter "blank"....

Why??? Doesn't make sense if the order is in already in

why is delta getting the 900 instead of the 175? the pax cabin is way nicer on the 175 in my opinion, i bet most pax think the 175 is mainline

Because they're cheap cheap cheap cheap.

Its more of a hoot and holler, we're the best and screw the rest, employee dog and pony show, hence why they think the announcement will be soon(tomorrow?). they're shuttling a plane of employees up north.

It's PSA. Our dumbarse Exec let the cat out of the bag in a crew room in December. He was trying to sell the Envoy TA by saying we would get to keep the CRJ700s longer because PSA was going to have some or all of their 40 options exercised this year. Like I said, he was trying to make us feel like we would have a bigger fleet longer, but the stupidarse part of it was that everyone immediately realized it would limit our own 90 options because of scope.

I really wish we had bent over first now. The ***** who goes first gets the most reward in this industry it seems.

E175 cabin is far better plane .. ..crj 900 is just like the crj700 cabin sucks. 1 galley f/a # 2 sits right nxt pax...crj ovhead bins cant hold much everything has to be gate checked so glad eny getting rid of of the crjs . Psa can have our old tired crjs...E175 pax and f/a friendly, does feel like mainline, cant wait for the E175..

Thought it had something to do with scope and the max weight of the 175.

Somebody get this little boy a lollipop!

Yup, also PSA thinks they will get a better flow deal. Let's wait until they start whipsawing again saying "you want more 900s, ok let's talk about SAP and other concessions. NO? That's ok then here you go MESA".

I seriously doubt American wholly owned PSA is going to get 900s for Delta. Stranger things have happened, but not very likely.....

I wouldn't be surprised to see an announcement in April that actually Skywest is now getting these planes (in exchange for parking 200's). Just like with the AW deal and the Freedom planes.

Well we all know it won't be ExpressJet.

Nobody said anything about PSA and Delta... they said that there may be another announcement this week that another operator is awarded CRJ900 flying. Then someone else pointed out, PSA is heading up to YUL tomorrow. And then remember the unnamed order last month.... it smells a lot like AA exercising some options.

Customer Places Firm Order for 24 Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen Aircraft

SJS

weee... "just like mainline".
Barf.

While that sounds logical, why would skywest just get 12 endeavor 200's if that was going to happen?

Compass has 175's for delta.

Yeah obviously that was my first thought, but I'm wondering if there could me more to it? Like Skywest inc. has tied up all the recent delivery slots so I guess we have To go with the 900

Is this even English?

and this is where AWAC comes right back into the picture :rolleyes:

The 36 Compass 175s have a T/O weight over 86,000 lbs and are grandfathered into the scope clause. I believe every other regional aircraft for every major has to be under the 86,000 lb limit.

Haha that's just psa going to get a crj that was already ordered.
