They have, it is for 50 seater's, 70 seater's, and some Props............... This would be rockstar if XJT could lock this down, only time will tell..........

My prediction is that the jets will go to Pinnacle, TSA, and GoJet. The Q400's will either go to Colgan or Lynx, and Commutair will be awarded the Dash 8 flying.

Other airlines like XJT and AWAC simply can't compete with the previously mentioned companies because our pilot cost is "too high".

Any other guesses?

true, we don;t have 170's and the start-up of that type of training program I would imagine may take a while, but I feel like I recall we may have some 50 seaters laying around muwhahahaha

Is RAH reputable... I know they have big shiny jets, but what about their pay and work rules?

RAH has those EMB170's that were just removed from the Frontier system so I revise my previous guess and say the 70 seater's go to Republic and not GoJet.

Yeah, I feel RAH is reputable, there pay isnt stellar but I put them above places like Pinnacle and Gojets, Tsa, and Colgan.........

Yes, they are.

50 seat CA pay is better than AWAC. 170 pay is lowish, but 175/190 pay is almost identical to AWAC concessionary 146 payrates.

FO pay? Well, THAT is a different story altogether.

Work rules? No junior manning and iron-clad scope. No rigs, but most regionals don't have them either.

This says nothing about CRJ's..... and even if it did, in the 70 seat arena UAL seems equally happy with both the -700 and the -170 product..... again, we shall see....... S5 already has 10 E170's slated to be added to our UAL operation by the end of the year or so.... i guess we will all have to sit back and see what happens.

It is a short-term RFP for 10 Q400s, 10 Dash-8s, 20 50-seat jets, and 20 70-seat jets.
Bids can be for any combination of those aircraft.
