I used to jumpseat A LOT on Republic's E170/175 airframes and I can't say overhead baggage space was any more an issue with a full plane than on a 737, DC-9, or similar airframe.

Like I said, it's a relative thing. A product of what you've come to expect from previous experience. For a first time flyer, it's no big deal.What do they know? For someone who has been used to Midwest Airlines over the last 25 years, it's a letdown.

You must not of paid attention then. I flew and commuted on 717's for years and have been using 170's for commute for about a year. I can remember only 1 time where a 717 ran out of overhead space but it's a common occurrence on the 170.

First of all I apologized for not proof reading. It is near impossible on an iPhone through this forum. Second it is a forum. This isn't something I am submitting or releasing.

I find it funny that is all you can really say about the post.

As for being good for the industry. I feel it is better than the alternative. Days of regulation are over. Living like it is still regulated is over. Just look airlines are flunking. They are not capable of running efficent and profitable. The real issue is not being able to adjust ticketing prices with the the rise and low of fixed cost. It takes weeks to accomplish when it should take minutes. Airlies seem ok with losing money.

No let say southwest comes in an outbids and gets approval to purchase Frontier. Do you think they want to run the airline seperate or merge. Not a chance. Competition is needed.

I am tried of how someone is trying to get to the legacy or major carriers. Well those ideas andrntalities are one reason the regional airline is the way it
is. The truth behind is those days are over. Places are seeing guys stayin put. I think QOL and not shiny new jet or big jet or banging a light attendant in Dublin. QOL.

Leave it to RAH. We will vote only an acceptable contract. That is all the power we have. Until you see it. Shut the **** up. We are living to our current CBA. You and your cronie that compain and call us a disease. Feel free to email those concerns to RAH and you can do that via rjet.com.

As for now I am sure there is more errors so if that is all you have to day dot waste your time. You aren't putting me down except maybe to the Expressjet guys

Of course an airplane designed for ~110 seats but only with 80-90 would have more overhead space per passenger than an airplane designed for 72 seats with 72 seats installed.

Like I said, the 170/175, in my two years of riding on them to and from work, didn't have any more overhead storage issues than a 737 or DC-9 series airplane (US Airways, United, Northwest, Delta, etc).

Obviously, others' experiences my vary...

Most of my commuting was on airtran with 117 seats.

I just want to know if we are going to hear any objections from Republic pilots flying the E-190 with the word Midwest on the side. I think the Midwest pilots deserve your respect. After all, you are taking their jobs. Look out F9. You are next.

You are an idiot but you are in good company here at APC.

Whatever helps you sleep better at night.

Has nothing to do with sleeping at night. Do yourself a favor and do a little research before you open your mouth and spew your garbage.:rolleyes:
