Every major could make the jet work at mainline, but they do not want to be stuck with ALL not just pilots, mainline costs when the first major carrier gives it away. That is why most will not move on it.
So that is
Trans States
Republic
with 100 seat orders. Mainline Zero. I guess they know something we don't

Enough with the garbage guys. RAH is moving toward a Mainline status. Frontier and Midwest were steps in that direction. Now, these aircraft seemed to be another piece of the puzzle. RAH will not be flying these aircraft for Delta or Airways or anyone like that. It will be for themselves.
Was there not a time when the SWA guys got bashed because they were "cheap". Things change guys. Give it a chance to succeed or fail, but at least give it a chance.

I wouldn't worry too much. I don't think these are going to be fixed-fee codeshare aircraft. Bedford said recently that they were looking at aircraft to replace some of the Frontier Airbus birds as the leases expire.

Well the Frontier guys just found their replacement. I bet the pay will be no where near the A320 rates.

Wow, they must have agreed to slip more into a certain person's offshore bank account than Embraer was willing to do.
2015 should be about the same time as the SLI comes out. It's amazing that they think they will be around that long.

Everyone would have preferred an Airbus order, but now we have five years to work on an acceptable pay rate. Our LOA actually included the Cseries, nice job again FAPA, and an order away from the Airbus is also why our CBA required a MSL.
Not the best news ever, but also not the worst.
