As far as Jet Blue, I believe they are a stop gap in the Caribbean, I am not sure how economical the EJET is on short flights. St Thomas and St Croix as well as other, they are doing those flights out of SJU while AMR is doing them out of MIA on a 737. Time will tell, But AMR is just getting out of San Juan because the Caribbean has improved most of their airports and larger equipment can be flown into these islands.

2 out of 3 ain't bad. EYW has been (Pan Am), and us currently serviced by mainline jets at other carriers. FWIW

I would love to see AMR do MIA-EYW in a 737, how many seats do you think they have to leave open to be able to get out of EYW. Ask the other that do it, I think they do it on the smaller 737 that AMR doesn't have. I don't know how a 737-800 would do there, but I see them use allot of runway in MIA and DFW. I believe they are converting all the 737 to 160 PAX and this should complicate the matter.

Well, I'll give you DL's 737s out of ATL..but the weight problems you'd have out of MIA would be interesting for such a short route. (max landing + burn allll the time)

For those of you who have been or are currently going to AE class, I'm wondering if its worth it to drive to DFW for training just to have my own transportation rather than relying on the hotel shuttle. I'm in Cali so it'll be a full day of driving for me.

Having a vehicle is nice but to drive all the way from Cali? What some people did in our class was rent a car, they are pretty cheap to do so and if you split it with a few class mates.

Otherwise, the shuttle there is fairly accommodating, but the few times I went out in the other peoples cars was a blessing. It's nice to see something other than the route to the training academy.

I'm interested in applying (to multiple regionals) but had a quick question. I'm finishing up college - graduating in March. Is it too early to apply for a job? Would they hire and wait to start training until then? Kind of a broad question I realize. If anybody knows if they (or any other regional) does this kind of thing I would be interested.
