"Delta, the carrier with the most flights at JFK"
Since when? B6 still holds that title. "Last week, Continental Airlines, which dominates Newark, announced it will move small regional jets from Newark to Cleveland and replace them with larger regional jets and full-size jets. Using larger jets will allow it to carry more passengers without adding flights." Pretty sure they're talkin about the Colgan Q400's! |

Regardless of what they/we want doesn't mean it can't or won't happen. We'll see how good the union really is. Remember CHQ once flew 170's in violation of scope clauses and paid a fine for it. Even with the fine they still made money hand over fist.

And it sounds like you're pleased as punch to be part of something like that. Maybe you should quit the airlines and open up a hardware store:rolleyes:
I want to work there one day and don't want anything over 50 seats flying but regardless of how much some of us might wish doesn't mean it won't happen. Where there's a lawyer there's a way. Regardless of what they/we want doesn't mean it can't or won't happen |

Oh really did you bother to read anything I wrote? First post
Here's another You can also search any other posts of mine about regionals and their flying and I've always stuck to my guns. I don't think anything over 50 seats should be used for regional flying. How much simpler do I have to make it? What it sounds like is that you don't pay attention very well:rolleyes: Stating the facts is stating the facts. Doesn't mean I support what's going on. Saying my company is the top contender doesn't mean I'm patting them on the back for it. It means they are the top contender. You make it sound like XJT guys are the pilot group over there. Don't know if you heard the news but CAL sold XJT and their pilot group is as diverse as anyone elses. CAL management and RAH management want this. With enough lawyer power it's possible. Like I said THIS is when we'll see if the union is worth their salt or not. The CAL is making great profits and if the union can't make that work for them then all is lost. |
I'll eat crow the day we see a 170 in CO colors... :D
..... then I'll laugh my a$$ off since we'll have more planes available for Branded, Delta and Charter. |

I really think the hand writing is on the wall. It has been going on for nearly 20 years. Mainline carriers want the ultra long routes and high capacity routes. Shorter haul and less profitable routes even in the 70 to 80 seat range they have and will give up to the JET airlines like RAH and EXJet et cet. The public wants frequency all day long..and the only way the companies can provide that is filling in with flying in that range. The bar has been continuously raised for years what the smaller carriers can code share and fly and I think it will continue that way. the Legacys want MORE intl and long haul ....... it is what it is..... the business model is out there and its probably not changing anytime soon....
