Default Crj 1000

Any guess on who has the 15 undisclosed orders. I think if it was Mesa they would have started using that to sucker people in. If it was Skywest they would have probably said so already. 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 don't know much about horizon but, as I understand they do all of Alaska's regional flying. So what is Alaska's scope clause? If the do get the 90-100seat AC it wouldn't conflict with the scope clause?

Does it have to be a regional? Why not a major? After all, US Airways and JB are operating EMB-190's.

I think it is a US carrier... Foreign carriers are not a secretive as US regional carriers..

I actually believe it is northwest. They have already stated they are retiring the dc-9's and have been in talks with bombardier for larger regional jets. just my guess but i think they are the only major that has said they want to buy larger regional jets.

"Compass" fades into sunset.
ERJs goe to NWA
CRJ100s go to Mesaba

That should start some conversation.

I think it is American Eagle. They are the only ones not in the big RJ market.

Nice try but too far fetched.... besides the NWA guys are P!ssed enough about the 900's going to XJ alone 1000's would go over like a Wh0re in church!!!! plus I'm pretty sure would violate even the new scope........
