Don't fret. Beer is a just use for the RJ carcass.

"The only people who love these 50-seaters are the chiropractors who have to fix what they do to peoples’ backs.”
Boyd is such a drama queen. |
Boyd has had this prediction for at least 5 years. Of course he predicts everything (much wrong and mostly not in the right time frame), but the shotgun approach covers all the bases and keeps the fools paying him for his "insight". And now my predictions (my company will be known as HemBoyds, inc.)- sometime in the next 50 years Southwest will fly something other than a 737. Oil will cost more in the future. There will be at least one new airline in the next 5 years and at least one will go under in that time frame. Last, but not least, the airlines will have labor problems in the future. You can bank on those solid predictions.

Boyd is an idiot. He has been predicting the death of the RJ for so long now, that eventually he has to be right. |

Be careful about cheerleading the "end of the 50 seater." Two 50 seat aircraft provide 4 pilot jobs while one 100 seater provides for 2 pilot jobs. I would fly a 50-seater for life if the pay/benefits kept pace with the economy.

Boyd has always said that there is a specific role for 50 seaters, just that there are far too many 50 seaters in the system. As for the timeline, he has mentioned that due to contractual obligations airlines may have them in their systems a few years later what was predicted in the past.

ALERT more insight! In the next 7 years obama wont be president, your mom will still be drunk texting me, anchorman movie will still rock, and a major airline will hire. Your welcome. Keep up the good work! P.s. I still dont see the cubs winning. Good luck to all and happy holiday weekend!

Now the real issue: as beer can drivers, do we get a discount on the beer? (that's what I want to know...)

This at least give hope to the idea of all jet flying going to mainline and leave the turboprop flying for the regionals. |

Exactly what is it about flying turboprops that is beneath you?
They fly at the lower flight levels (beneath):p |
