Sorry, please excuse my gross ignorance when I ask, but why is the parking of any aircraft in such large numbers a good thing? and why is would this make you happy? Also, are these all Pinnacle airframes?

Again, sorry for my ignorance, but this is a genuine question from a 1,200 hr CFI.
We want the bulk of flying at mainline, not the Regionals. That is the gist of it. Let me know if you would like me to elaborate.

There are X number of passengers out there to be flown by Y number of pilots. The less RJs there are to fly these passengers means they have to fly on something else, and hopefully thats mainline.

In other words, being an RJ pilot is a low paying job that isn't a career. Its a job that our industry needs to eliminate. Eliminating the jets is a key part to that.

the last two post and first one of this thread are made by wannabe's. those aircraft are just being replaced by larger rj's. and the statement made "being an RJ pilot is a low paying job that isn't a career" watch out for these pilot types, they are called back stabbers or management stooges.

These aircraft are being replaced by 717s and some larger RJs. Saying they are just being replaced by larger RJs is not knowing your subject matter.

Exactly, sweet, replacing little RJ's with bigger RJ's. The pilots on the new 900's will still make pitiful wages. How many pilots has Delta hired since those planes have been parked (or as a result of those planes being parked)? The 100 seaters are also right around the corner. Wouldn't it be better if instead of seeing airplanes get parked and pilots lose their job we had mainline actually take back flying, as in make anything with more than 50 seats a Mainline plane?

Yeah, sure, how many pilots have you hired since those planes were parked?

You should have a little more respect for the pilots in your own Union that work hard to keep your passengers happy and subsidize your wages.

I think you meant to say back stabbers and management stooges. But you're right, the guy who started this thread is an idiot.

How many large RJs have we taken delivery of since those planes were parked?

None on both counts. Now a more significant parking of them is coming , and we're a few weeks away from the first recall class. First new bodies in January for a total of likely around 500 new bodies over the next year. And that's just the beginning...
