ERJs goe to NWA
CRJ100s go to Mesaba

That should start some conversation.
Conversation: Mesaba has a "mature" pilot force. There are FOs in the low 500s seniority number with over 4,000 hrs. TT. It is this "depth" of experience which allows for expansion and ability to create Captains at a rapid pace. One of the main considerations for major / legacy airlines to consider when purchasing CRJ100s fora regional is " Do they have a qualified pilot force to fly them ?"

I think the undisclosed buyer is Horizon. US launch customer for CRJ700 and Q400. They have been looking at getting 90 to 100 seat aircraft and already tested the EMB190's but it would be stupid to get a different type when they could just get the 1000 and use a comon type like they do for the Q200 and Q400.. That's what I think is gonna go down. Any thoughts
I doubt it is QX. They've talked about interest in the proposed Q400 stretch, but I don't think a super-stretched CRJ really interests them. The EMB190 thing was just a press-play to get Bombardier to sweat a little in light of their poor parts availability and mtx support. Besides, we like our busted-ass Q400's just fine! :p

I would think if Northwest were to get 100 passenger planes that they would go with the A318.... A perfect choice to replace the 9's

Just a rumor with no facts to back it up... I heard from a gate agent in ATL that Delta mainline was going to operate 900s or 1000's. Then again, this is all just speculation.

Brit Air (France) 8 orders 8 options.
My Way Airlines (Italy) 15 orders. This started as an order for 19 900's.

If they have more than 76 seats, DAL scope would REQUIRE that.

Does it have to be a regional? Why not a major? After all, US Airways and JB are operating EMB-190's.
heard a rumor(take it just as that), that there are talks of usair selling their 190's and future orders to RAH. it would be almost deja vu of mid atlantic.:eek:

the replacement for the nines will be on regional property.....and if you think otherwise, you are an idealist and not a realist.
