Yes they are on both the restriction and the scope. I cannot fathom what the company would have to dangle to get them to release scope again. Been there, done that, learned a thing or two and now I think those guys are going for gold

I think I talked to the same FA tonight in Dulles (L.R?) and she said she was going to 190 training this week...

listening to you boys argue over this is comical,( as if any of us have control over it). RAH will get 190's, not a matter of if, but when. Just a matter of fact. Haven't been on this site for a while, but I see that things are the same!

FWIW...

RAH does notdot do as much UAL flying as they used to, in terms of percentages. RAH will sop flying it's UAL 145's this year, leaving only the S5 170's. While losing these aircraft would hurt RAH, it would not be the crippling blow that losing all DAL or Airways flying would be. Skywest is far more reliant upon UAL, though now with ASA on the books, their company is more insulated.

RAH "owns" its aircraft. If RAH lost a substantial amount of flying (via UAL canceling their contract), you would see BB try to assign those a/c to another mainline partner, and then get those planes out there in generic paint and do some sort of branded flying (charter would be a priority over schedled 121). ExpressJet and Independence went solo only out of necessity. RAH will not go branded unless it absolutely has to...at least for the next 10 years.

There is still room for large RJs as they haven't hit the cap yet, but I think you'll see more 50 seaters being parked over the next 3-5 years.

I hope we hold the line too!!!!!
