Oh yeah, I had those days. Nothing like metering telling you #65 for departure and to MONITOR ground. They always emphasized monitor. I always hated timing out after a 8 hour delay and a 4 hour taxi. Nothing PO'd the pax more.

edit: not worth it

I don't need it explained to me how a regional operates out of a busy hub. We operate of out IAH, ATL, PHL, LGA, IAD, ORD, etc. I was simply saying that block times are built on historical averages. Therefore regardless of what happens it should be accounted for for the most part. Of course things will happen from time to time but then again that all just calculates into the grand scheme of things.

Doesn't really matter though as far as Larry goes he likes CHQ and wants to continue business. He did say he doesn't like seeing people DHDing around so I'll just keep my fingers crossed on my IAH 145 base :cool:

then dont make ignorant, uninformed statements and get surprised at the response

Fat kids annoy you?

All I said was that Larry likes CHQ and recent numbers showed the company has the best performance numbers. Find whatever reasons you want to justify it but doesn't change the accuracy of the statement. Sorry if that hurt your feelings for some reason. You can send me a PM showing how distraught you are if it's that big of an issue for you.

Can I ask, what kind of problems does CQH have with the CRJ? I work for AWAC and we do quite a mixed bag of flying, both short and longer stuff relatively (PHL-MSP which is 3+ hours, MKE etc.) and have never had a problem taking full pax and bags even with a second alt. Even shorter flight with the landing weight problems, I can't think of a time we had to bump someone off. I mean its been close sometimes, but it's always seemed to work out.

Yea he loves it so much hes adding flying! You must be kidding, between the w/b fiascos, the maintenance retardation and the sham operation on the hard stands I dont think larry has much love for s8888y kitty.

Dont forget the mighty e-170 in ind.

What's an APU? ;)

The CRJ's for COex are going away as planned from the beginning of the lease a couple years ago. By the beginning of 2010 pretty much all of the CRJ's will be gone. All of the CRJ's have had their faults worked since about the first year they were leased and they have been great planes. We have never left a passenger behind for weight issues in all the time I have flown them. CHQ will still have over 15 145's flying as COex for an unknown amount of time. No CHQ is not "losing" any flying that wasn't planned more than 2 years ago. Stop causing drama.
