It's probably overblown gossip to some degree, but I can personally say that I've seen it. As previously posted, it was on an MSP shuttle bus last winter. The FO was a -900 driver, and was gloating that he was on the 9 to an NWA mainliner.
PLEASE don't post any pics of our guys doing this...walking around like this is bad, but having the picture printed out and sent across the CP's desk would be even worse. I think this is more of a pro stans. issue.
For once and all, the Eagle Saabs are NOT coming to XJ. They're going to REX, a big regional in Australia. From Wikipedia:
Aircraft orders
Rex has ordered 25 ex American Eagle SAAB 340B Plus aircraft, which have extended wingtips (offered as an option on Saab 340B Plus aircraft) to increase flight performance and fuel efficiency, plus improved interior soundproofing. The first was originally scheduled to arrive in late 2006, however Rex took delivery of the first on April 30, 2007; it entered service on June 6th. By March 2008, nine had been delivered, bringing the REX fleet to 40. The 340B Plus aircraft (which will have 34 blue leather seats) will be painted in the REX livery prior to delivery and are fitted with the optional Hamilton Standard propellers (present on all current and former American Eagle Saab 340B aircraft) instead of the Dowty Rotol propellers fitted to the existing fleet.
One of the planes being ferried:
FlightAware > Live Flight Tracker > N382AE

As hard as you might find it to believe, XJ CRJ-900/"9 Drivers" dont go around and brag about the airplane they fly. As much as you might like to think they do. Why is it so terrible if they call their aircraft the "9"? Is that what we are worrying about today? Is the DC-9 the only aircraft that can be called a "9"?
