Dashes are timing out and we are accelerating their departure as well as the number of jets we are bringing online. I think we go up to 2 jets a month in January, and that'll continue indefinitely for as many planes we can staff.

Just saw Wink's post. 2 a month is probably correct. They like to throw out a lot of numbers and then change it.

Heard the number 80 for the 145s and an undisclosed number of 140s as well.

There's no real number out there. We'll get only as many as we can staff

Where did you hear that? The latest @Piedmont centered around growth said it's as many as we can staff.

Are you worried at all that the 145's will get parked as soon as there is an economic downturn?

Do you think that the 50 seat airplanes will be the first to go?

What is the life expectancy of the 145's?

Aren't they a few years from being sent to the desert anyways?

The scope is about full with 900's and 175's, will there be enough airplanes to keep Piedmont flying?

What is your management saying about this?

I know that you say you will get 175's, but why? They will need to take them away from Envoy to do this.

(I am honestly curious about this. Especially after seeing what is happening to Air Wisconsin, flying small and outdated airplanes seems like it would cause quite a bit of concern)

What's your point? Every time someone answers questions about the 'plan' you pop in with this stuff like you're the first person to think about these things or like the rest of us are too dumb to consider these points as well. Like clock work.
