I think it would be great if both Comair & ASA got more 7's and the 9's in ATL. Would make for an easier commute. JMO.

Mesa does in fact have the 900 deliveries locked up (for the first 100 or so?) but they have released some of those positions to Lufthansa, Air Canada Jazz, some Turkish airline, and now apparently SKW/ASA.
Other than SK/ASA, none of those companies are likely to compete much with Mesa.
Word is that Mesa will also take some more 900's this year.

I agree.
The bigger the aircraft gets, the less likely any of us will ever get on with a legacy carrier. Even tho the 900's will have 70 seats until/if DAL agrees to the new contract allowing SkyWest/ASA to add 6 more seats (76 total)..when will enough be enough. Are the pilots getting paid more? I bet they are not getting paid near the 737/320/MD80 scales. Flying the 900 and we will still get paid CRJ700 scales...oh by the way...IT'S THE SAME as the CRJ200 scale! When are we going to wake up?

I pray that the destruction of retirements over the past five years creates a turn in the direction of things. In any case, ALPA MUST be dismantled. One MEC at a time. They are serving themselves and the greedy politicos that are on the board. They would sell their mothers if it meant a profit to themselves.
I "thought" we were getting the 705; which is the 700 with "10" first class seats. Is that the same as the 900?
