Maybe Skywest will roll the dice and order the MRJ - the Mitsubishi Regional Jet - just like Transtates.... Or maybe buy a bunch of grounded Dorkjets to replace the ageing Brazilias...

Trans States Airlines will never fly the MRJ. More likely GoJets gets 'em

Expect the unexpected mate. If you took a snapshot of the "regionals" ten years ago, you'd have a hard time recognizing them. I'd like to think that things would even be status quo in another ten years, but the threat of regionals growing and majors shrinking is very real. Not certain, but very much a possibility.

Whatever, man. Your post is obviously dripping wet with sarcasm and condescension but you should know that everything is stored in computers nowadays. If some IT guy at a company were to overuse his power to access confidential information, he'd probably have way more information than some random forum speculator.

I'm not about to believe the other person's post, but I find it hard to believe that some people are so naive (including you).

I have a friend who is a janitor for a major regional airplane manufacture. When he is scrubbing toilets there he hears things you wouldn't believe. I will leave it at that.
