Interesting that these operators have such confidence in Mitsubishi when the Company's previous efforts have not produced aircraft which were all that safe, or successful in the market.

Mean while Delta remains unsure of Boeing and Bombardier's products (except for used 20 to 30+ year old technology) acquired at the airline version of "pull a part auto rebuilders."

Tail wags dog.

Why did Rjet get this?

Sailing is correct. Gong forward if an operator like SKW decides to operate jets outside of DCI that are not permitted, would Dal allow them to be cut or find a way to modify the PWA language to make their decision easier on Dal?

I talked to an FAA mx inspector in DTW who was heading back to Nagoya for a couple weeks to oversee the certification process for that plane. He didn't seem too impressed, said it was very "interesting" and I think I saw him roll his eyes.

Yes and it was the company and ALPA pushing so hard and fast to get it done so early.

I didn't know Delta management posted on this forum. You guys work for Delta?? Your suppose to be smart...Top Gun graduates..

SkyWest Holdings owns SkyWest and ExpressJet. They operate 700 aircraft. Most of which are 50 seaters.

You guys vote for more 70's..and there is a 7 page thread on it?!?!

I thought that depended on which variant they end up getting. Anyway if it comes down to it, no quarter. Cut them off and let them fade away into the landfill of airline history.

True. It seems like any and all "scope jets" fly off the shelves in a frantic real estate order book bubble only to quickly peter out as the industry learns the hard way they are POS's and they bought way too many and paid way, way, way too much for them.

But the pilots work for less, so its an autowin, amirite?

More B school brilliance from the MBA crowd.

And that is all that matters. SKYW is an independent solvent company. They can do what they want. They can buy whatever airplanes they want. They just cannot do any of that flying for DAL if it exceeds our scope. Much ado about nothing.

Sure could. Of course since WE are ALPA, it would have to be US doing that, and I find that highly unlikely.
