It’s all good. The CRJ being gone is a good thing. We all know PSA is taking the bulk of the furloughs so they can be spun off and sold to SkyWet.

OO just bought 15 PSA CRJ-200s and according to their earnings call they have 7 -700s as well to be flown under the American brand. Typically when people aren’t interested in things, they buy lots of them right?

All the chest thumping trying to convince oneself why their regional is more safe than another’s is ridiculous. No one is safe. UA essentially owned ExpressJet, and what happened there? Mesa’s contract is due soon. They could be next to go, or they could renegotiate and AA could liquidate a WO.

Those 700s were written into the contract to OO pre-covid.

You incorrectly construed that I was chest thumping when I was simply correcting Claxstarr's snarky statement and butted in for no reason. I'm simply bringing facts to the table to correct unsubstantiated opinions/theories (Claxstarr's claim that OO is not interested in any CRJs when OO has recently purchased the 15 ex-PSA CRJ-200s) that these forums are usually rampant with. When did I say that I was safe? That any regional was safe? I didn't. I don't think that. No one is safe in this very fragile environment that this pandemic has thrown us into. No one knows what's going to happen. I don't think I'm safe from furloughs at all. I count my blessings every day that I still am employed. I'm gearing up for being furloughed later this year, and I'm expecting it.
Man you’re getting super defensive there. Did he touch a nerve?
When did OO buy these 15 -200’s that you’re talking about? Pre-Covid?
Why would CC purchase any -200’s when we just permanently retired dozens of them?
The only reason I can think of would be to lease them back to PSA, or another outfit.
This OO Inc likes to do this.
And the previous poster is correct about the 700’s.
They were all being delivered or coming online since... like a year ago? It was part of a pre-Covid contract with AA.
—->I’m intensely curious as to what your “OO wants to buy PSA” theory is.
My “unsubstantiated theory” still stands to reason...
Why would OO want to buy MORE CRJ’s since we have 1) retired a huge number of 200’s and 2) have an insane lack of CRJ flying?
OO is transitioning massive numbers of CRJ pilots to the 175 because our CRJ flying is going the way of the dodo.

If you hate PSA so much that you don't care, or are even pleased that 730 fellow pilots are losing their jobs on October 1st, then holy hell you need professional help. My heart goes out to the crews that must endure your bitterness, and depressing lack of empathy.

They were also retired arbitrarily by AA, so it's unlikely they all had timed out engines and heavy airframe inspections due. Their role was to service DCA until the new terminal gets built which now appears will happen before Covid wraps up.

Yes, OO over the years has retired very old 200's and replaced them with newer used 200's acquired from various places. Kind of an ongoing used-fleet refresh program.
