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.

Bingo, I guess peoples minds are still stuck on first impressions. Once the kinks were worked out its not a bad operation.

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.

The CRJs are going away as planned and most of the CO 145s have had the LR2 upgrade and won't be having any weight issues anymore. Also these problems were several years ago when CHQ first started operating the flights.

So you're saying your pairings aren't built with any of that in mind?

Are you saying they should add 3 hours to some of the legs in and out of Newark because they sometimes get a ridiculous ATC delay? Get real. It's New York airspace. That kind of stuff happens. Your little STL-EWR route does not make you an expert on EWR. Most of the big delays are from the closer cities anyways like New England, Pennsylvania, Maryland, DC, Virginia, and NC.

What's with this Larry said this Larry said that? Are you personal friends with him or something?

Yep, nothing like a 5 hour ground stop for BTV-EWR when the weather is down. Do people expect the airlines to add that in too? Or a thunderstorm hanging out over PARKE leaving you in the ballpark with the engines shut down. Yep, build that right in too! Amazing what some of these guys think...

Several places actually have that in their contract. Should the avg block time exceed what's on paper by X% then they are readjusted. Of course not everything can be compensated for but that's what averages are. There are a lot of times where you underblock as well. Some overblock some underblock but it doesn't do your company any service to not try to account for average delays. We do fly for CAL out of LGA as well.

What's with Larry said this and Larry said that? All I did was say I spoke with him. Am I personal friends with him? No. However he takes interest in hearing things from different perspectives. I was jumpseating to MSP and he was in the terminal speaking with a gate agent. Walked up and he introduced himself.

4000+ posts?! Wow.:confused:

Larry told me he that we're gonna get E-190 and 757's and fly them out of new base in Redding, CA.

what was he going to tell you...of course he was going to say he liked you guys.
