Delta Connection in 1990
 

Found this little section about DCI in a book. Thought you all might find it interesting to just how much has changed (or hasn't) in 22 years.

Nice find there

The routes of those regional airlines look a lot more regional than they do now. :eek:

Thank you for posting this.

Very nice find, always enjoyable to look back on what was and has become.

Sad how scope was sold isn't it?

And the planes look more regional as well.

Hey, I've flown two of the four airplanes pictured. Still driving one of em.

Still don't know if I'll go to the "regional" jets my company operates voluntarily or not. Not sure if I have to turn my man card in first if I do.




Joking, its a joke people. Relax.

Wow! That made my day! Thank you!

Thats what regional flying is. I was flying a saab and was proud of it cause we did routes like that. Although the jet guys gave us abunch of crap for the slob.

Saabs rule!

How many drinks would it take to talk about the positive changes from 1990 to present if scope was kept at 34/35 seats?

Hindsight is 20/20 I guess.

Agree! Regional flying is not ATL- Belize city!!!!

Sadly the tool used by mainline to subsidize their own operation, DALPA approved.

Not sure exactly what your saying...... Don't be so ambiguous, what are you saying????

Not trying to be ambiguous. These early contracts were the beginning of debacle we have today where RJ's are flown all over N. America. Too bad they're not flown by pilots employed by name of the company on the ticket stub, just MHO.

2012 Regional Pilot=North America...give me a little more gas and I can make it to the UK! Whats next after the next main line contract? Region Planet Earth!!!
