And while I'm at, where do you guys get off thinking that you deserve anything other than a staple to the bottom. Probably 90% of the people at RAH have been on the list since before LYNX even existed. Not to mention that LYNX has brought absolutely nothing to the table." I hope you are enjoying all the former Lynx route structures. Whoever the RAH pilot is that posted this is a pure blooded idiot. I know for a fact there are people at RAH that think that way which is juvenile and sad. I also know that the majority of the ones I flew with during my tenure with the company do not think that way towards any group involved in the SLI. In my experience the idiots and chest thumpers are the minority. Just my experience. YMMV |

Wait, what?
Are they simply keeping the certificate and flying ASE with the E-Jets, or will they keep flying Q400s under the RP code? |

RAH found out there is no way they can have the E-jets operate out of ASE... d/t climb and runway requirements... Ooooopppssss.

Well they weren't my airplanes to begin with... and I left in april. The Wyoming group wasn't even created until 2-3 months after it was made public Lynx was shutting down. I think BB thought someone would buy Lynx but it never happened... heard it was grossly overpriced.

ASE is 7820ft. The ASE airport manager was sold on the fact RAH was bringing in the E-jets... I assume that he had some information from RAH saying so. Anyway, a lot of money has been wasted on the Lynx shutdown... and now it won't be shutdown. Have fun explaining that in a shareholders meeting Mr Bedford!

I'd bet dollars to donuts RAH marketing thought the E170 would be able to handle Aspen with no problems "since CRJs do it!" but that flight management really knew better...it just took this long to convince the right people it was a stupid idea.
Also, we're "not running out of the stuff" - at least not near term. Interesting how Peak Oil believers fell from the sky during the 2008 gas spike but have conspicuously been absent the last 18 or so months... |
