US Airways considers cutting its E-190 fleet


US DoT Filing: Republic Airline, Inc. | Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation


Management at US Airways has launched an evaluation of elimination its fleet of 25 Embraer E-190s through direct sales or subleases.
Today during an earnings call with analysts and investors carrier President Scott Kirby said the fleet represents roughly 2.5% of total consolidated capacity at US Airways, and cutting the fleet would give the carrier additional flexibility to reduce its available seat miles.
Kirby also explains the E-Jet represent a small sub-fleet whose elimination could also create operational gains for the carrier. The aircraft are also in demand globally, so US Airways believes getting rid of the E-Jets is something the carrier "can effectively implement from a financial perspective", says Kirby.
US Airways owns the 25 aircraft, and company chief executive Doug Parker stresses the potential cutting of E-Jets from its fleet is not to raise liquidity, but to enhance long-term profitability.
In August 2005 US Airways issued a request for proposal to regional partners Air Wisconsin, Mesa Air Group and Republic Airways Holdings to operate up to 25 E-190s once it merged with America West.
But after mainline pilot protests a transition deal was ratified by America West and US Airways pilots to limit E-190 flying to mainline operations.

Didn't Midwest run 25 717's?

Plus 15 MD-80s

Maybe then we can keep our Dash 8's that actually make money for the company

Maybe RAH will buy USAir and just integrate everyone together into one big happy family...

That is hilarious

Leave it to B1900YX to always have up to date information on RAH...thanks buddy! :cool:

No offense to the Mad Dog crowd. I just thought it was fairly "tidey" to have the same numbers, but then I added the initial 2.

because nobody listens to quaterly reports or watches the news.

It just keeps getting better and better!

The answer to the question posed in the thread title is: "Only if US Airways pilots surrender their scope. AGAIN."
