Do you have an MBA in economics? The 50 seat does not lose money every time it takes off. bigger is NOT always better. XJT has proven the 50 seat can be a very profitable. Are you telling me that the 70 seat makes money on every flight?
You are very misguided if you think so. 50 seats will exist at every carrier until they COMPLETELY give up scope, and then, it's game over.
Whether UAL wants them or not, they are stuck with them.

No, but I dispatched at PSA (US Airways Express) for a while. I have dispatched the CRJ-200 and the 700s on the same routes They burn almost the same amount of fuel but the 700 is the clear winner in every catagory. You Don't need an MBA to know that. )I never touched an
ERJ-145 but I have heard they are better than the CRJ-200.
As for UAL they have the option to terminate the 200 flying in April 2010. But they must give MESA a 6 month notice.

I think quality is going to come out on top for once for a few reasons but you can deduce from there.

They're not pulling it..the RFP has been issued to begin when Mesa's contract legally expires in April 2010.
United has to notify Mesa 180 days in advance of their planned "non renewal" of that contract...most likely..United is just fishing..this is either the 2nd or 3rd time they've issued RFPs for this exact same flying.

While I'd like us to get this contract I doubt we will. We are either going to be too expensive or Skywest will take the planes and do the flying themselves. We've been hearing the UA flying rumor for a long time and I just don't think ASA will ever win it.

If your only technique for being successful in your career depends on the misfortune of others then you are going to have a frustrating go of it. Take my advice please...You will be better served in life if you spend your valuable time improving yourself and making where you currently are a better place instead of sitting around hoping for the person next to you to fall so that you can jump into their coveted spot. Wishing ill will on others for your own personal gain says everything about your character.
