Have any idea what our company rents those 50 seaters for vs xjt's 100k per aircraft per month?

Thats kind of the point, "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR"

For some reason at some of the stations you guys fly to, we are taking your bags, and your pax's,

The CRJ-200, the 50 seat, 35 pax Jet ;)

Don't know if you took math or not but a percentage is a proportion of any given amount. 1 out of 10 late would fetch the same statistic as 10 out of 100.

It's not the jet so much as the routes. I fly IAH to CMH and seem to be restricted on the ERJs more than the CRJs. PS. Did you just look at the overall airline statistics?

yeah................ Not to have a ****ing match, but I dont think so:p Do you think I look at statistics?, I heard all this in the IAH Crew room haha ;)

X-jet and CHQ both rock. Can't we all just get along?

My bar has really crappy wireless internet so it'd be hard to read that there.

BTW, pride would be having confidence in what you do, not criticizing what others do.

you know i would hate to break it to you guys but most of the xjt guys could care less about chq. yeah we know about it but theres no animosity. There are a lot of chq guys with something to prove though and are looking for reasons to not like xjt. some people have posted that some of us have flipped off chq aircraft and i personally think it was a BS exaggeration. If it did happen, then you laugh it off and be the bigger person. Not go crying to your online posting buddies who will agree 100% "yeah they suck." I think a lot of people on here are getting the wrong picture of our airlines by a few very vocal, immature individuals who have kind of lost touch with the reality of job. your a pilot fly the damn airplane and go home enjoy your life.

about the no-acars thing. taxiing in with a chq flight BEHIND us on the ramp and they were calling ops with "wheels on and in times" while we were still taxiing. we never said anything about it to anyone because its bull**** to turn in another pilot but i think its crap to say "look at our stats" when everyone knows its kind of rigged. no need for a ****ing match... both of our companies have problems and this pilot group vs another is crap

I don't think anyone from CHQ has ever said XJT sucks. At least I haven't read it. I also haven't read about anyone from XJT flippin' us the bird...you might be thinking of a Comair thread from awhile ago. The XJT crews I ran into in IAH were pretty awesome. I'm just defending my company like the XJTers. When they do it, it's called pride or something like that.

And about the ACARS...like no one has ever been able to get around THAT thing. And the 170's have them and those numbers are the same as CHQ's...

I'll always be out 5 early. You guys want a silent protest for higher pay well there's mine. Everyone knows you can cheat with ACARS just as easily.

From my experience flying both aircraft - I'd have to say the ERJ (LR's) were always the more likely of the two to be weight-restricted...haven't kicked a pax off the -200 yet, as opposed to the many that found themselves walking when I had been in the 145. Now I know the XR's are stronger birds, but I'd be hard-pressed to believe they don't sometimes have issues as well...

BTW, the -200 takes a bird on the beak very well...as I found out last night going into ORD!! Poor guy - nothing now but a has-been splatter ;-P

I've been at XJT since the 1st XR was delivered, longer actually but that's besides the point. Believe it or not, I had never been or heard of any weight restrictions on the XR. That was until a few months ago. But it took 50 pax, loaded bags w/heavies, a long flight to YYT at Cat 2 mins with 2 alternates, one of which was halfway back to EWR.

Sounds plausible...like I said - never flown an -XR myself :-)

It's always sad when these CHQ/XJT threads start to die out....see y'all next month!!!!

No, you can't.

I can't believe you guys do EWR-IAH in a 145.
I'd shoot myself!

cheat with acars? yeah you could pop the circuit breaker and risk a carpet dance in the cpo because they can tell when you do that. other then that.... your still on and in when your ON and IN. i wish we could fudge it but no dice

We don't fly IAH-EWR. CAL scope prohibits anyone but CAL from doing inter-hub flights. We do, however, fly IAH-xxx-EWR or CLE.

Any idea who holds the lease to the aircraft your company is sub-leasing? How about some investigating....;)

Seriously, everybody just go live your life. Cause this is going to keep you from enjoying it.

You so sure about that?

Pop the circuit breaker? ***. Much easier than that. One new thing I did learn about ACARS is you can send messages from one aircraft to another so long as you know their information. Useful when a Florida fan is flying and they beat a buckeye.

yeah toilet... lemme guess with your infinite experience with acars you somehow found a way to cheat the system. these past 6 months with republic must have really taught you all about acars. give me a break. i liked you better when you werent trying to be the next saaborowski. if it was so easy to cheat we would... besides popping the breaker there is very little you can do to change your times.

... not to mention all the cameras that are monitored and cross-check out-times and pushback.

Out side of IAH I've never heard of any other place this happens.

TSA would routinely change the OOOI times...

You'd close the doors 10 minutes late, ACARS would record it, and *magically* company shows you out ON TIME if you were bored enough to check later that night...

Sarcasm noted. Guess I'm just completely wrong and full of it. I wonder then how almost EVERY one of our flights manages to get out 5-10min early. Oh well I could care less if you guys believe it or not. It happens daily many many times. Next topic.

I am not sure how to take this.............:cool:

Compliment SAAB... Compliment.. BTW how many hours you at and are you submitting anywhere else?

You've got a piece of Spinach in your teeth...big 'ole monkey teeth!

At my company...yeah, I am.

If you can spoof your ACARS by means other than the CBP (and I'm not talking "get the doors shut so we can get an out time!") then more power to you...

That's because you've only been at RAH for less than a year. It happens at ALL CAL hubs.

Let me add the EWR Ops perfected it before anyone.

I applied to any airline where I meet the Mins, CAL, DAL, NWA..... Of course I would imagine it will take a few 1,000hrs of PIC Turbine before they will look at me. ( I dont really know anyone) I figured I would start applying early and update often :)

2630TT
1450 Multi
1300 Turbine
1100 PIC, non-turbine of course :)

Man I hope your right!! If we had all taken that stand a long time ago, we would all be a lot better off! Before anyone flames me, I've held this belief since my "regional/commuter" days.

Have you flown for both? I suspect not as you would understand the vast differences. By almost any metric I can think of, my worst day at Delta was better than my best day at my former regionals. Even post 9/11.

I guess they're just being nice because they won't stop chewing my ear about how frustrated they are with the weight restrictions. I know thats not your (the pilots) fault, but I still hear a lot of complaining.
