Skywest has already announced 100 MRJs on order. Mainly because Bombardier doesn't want to play ball.

They announced a tentative order. Did they ever firm it up?

Nope, still just a "Memorandum of Understanding" or something similar. Not a firm order...

This wouldn't be the first time American pilots were surprised by "that new Mitsubishi plane" coming outa Japan.

Just kidding, you're probably right...

Just splitting hairs here but still not a order, just a agreement that is 'nearing completion'; I doubt a order will NOT be placed but as of right this second I do not believe there is a firm order.

If it's anything like the last one, they won't be a threat for very long.

Regardless of whether it is a good product or not, it simply amazes me that any of you are excited for larger aircraft at a regional instead of mainline. Talk about not looking past next week. Hope you are happy with where-ever you are.... you sure are not moving on to mainline anytime soon.... if ever.

Do you not see how this limits your career progression and profession overall?

Hopefully that will never happen and scope will hover around similar to DAL ... which limits it.... thankfully.

The proposed scope in the UAL TA s pretty much cut & paste straight out of DALs contract.
