There are weight limits too, for that reason. A 777 horizontal stabilizer weighs more than they are allowed to operate.

there are no scope restrictions on RW, unlike S5 (76) and RP (50) certificates. BB could put a A380 with 600+ seats on the RW certificate and fly branded etc without violating any code share partner scope clauses.

Could They do that perhaps would they? Hardly not in this economic climate. Even in a healthy economy I doubt that RAH would want to do anything to compete with a code share. With everyone cutting capacity I dont see what markets they would target, then again I am not privy to RAH business plans/strategy

I knew this would happen! Republic pilots cannot settle for less than NASA+1 rates for these, or else the whole galaxy will be in a race to the bottom! And I'll really be ****ed if these things show op in Milwaukee in blue paint!

Race to the bottom, who can get there first?

thats not true for the DAL flying. Thats why the weight increase that was planned was scratched. For DAL flying its seats and weight.

So you want to fly heavy tin for 76 seat pay? .....ahh......LAME!

The biggest scare for Delta pilots would be these flying for Midwest and carrying Delta customers on code share. Or Republic buying 500 70 seat turboprops, since they have no scope restriction.

Whats really scary is that you seem to think that would be a good thing :cool: :eek:

(btw there are restrictions on that codeshare also)

I think it's equally as scary that you can't seem to read. At what point did he say this would be a good thing? I guess because his post had something to do with Delta, you had to chime up with something condesending.
