AWAC has 50 seat RJ's, yes... but they've flown LOTS of other a/c in the last 40 years, no reason they may not change again. The biggest hinderance to the future of Air Wis isn't the CRJ-200, it's the company's inability to secure any RFP's (request for proposals). This is, in part, due to higher labor costs when competing with certain other carriers in their market.

Considering RAH's current contract struggles, which don't seem to be getting any better any time soon, and AWACs awesome contract that they worked very hard for... I would go Air Wis.
How is not winning rfps a hindrance? Awac has NEVER won an rfp. Never in their entire histroy, And yet they have been in business for 50 years, more than rah yes?
Awac finances flying, Rah makes Forbes top ten list to go bankrupt. Take your pick, the writings in the wall.
Don't let Internet bullies scare you to think the crj200 is going extinct. It will be around for another 10 years

Yeah...i love all the people whining how AWAC hasnt grown in the past 10 years. Ok? How many of the regionals that have grown in the past 10 years have taken on additonal flying at a loss because they had planes sitting around. Also when it comes to financing flying...anyone else see AMR is seeking 1.6 billion bucks in loans to refiance their debt. Ya think Eastshore/AWAC might spot 'em some cash...ya prolly.

U mad?. I thought the possessive call sign was a delta thing?. Or maybe a L-UAL thing? I am neither, so no, I don't do that.

And maybe you were that normal guy on the radio.

Can anyone tell me what brickyard flight numbers are the 99 seat E190 flights? Just curious what a guy sounds like when he flies a plane like that for 36 dollars/hr.

^^^ incase you're as dense as tillerenvy, this is sarcasm.

Is it difficult being a troll? You go to training?

Try bringing useful info to the thread instead of mindless, immature drivel.

"U mad"? lol. No brah, I ain't even mad yo, not even trippin'.

To answer your question, whenever I fly the 190 my voice raises two full octaves, as my balls fall even deeper into Bedford's wife's purse.
