Where is your source that Seaborne has one? They fly Saab 340 and DHC-6.. there is absolutely 0 chance they have a 175 program ready to go.

They have hired people who ran Embraer programs at other large companies, and my source is talking to an inflight manager this last week most recently, as well as "unofficial" word from other pilots and instructors there. Will it materialize? I don't know. It makes sense though considering JetBlue has a huge presence in the Caribbean with E190s.

What did Shuttle American fly before the E-Jet?

Seaborne, American, and US Airways ticket counters dominating this part of the SJU airport.



Saying there is absolutely a zero chance is kind of a red flag for BS on here especially when it comes to AAG trying to staff airplanes. Seaborne only got the Saabs to do American flying. Seaborne might get some, Piedmont might get some, Republic might even keep all the ones they are supposed to get, or not. AAG management knows, and every has been waiting for EGL to vote no. Makes more sense that this is the outcome AAG wanted.

Yeah, and you work for Eagle. Tell me how that is going for you? Buyers remorse yet on all that chest thumping? Sucks learning a life lesson the hard way.



Obviously not that well.

For the purpose of this thread read "American Eagle" the same as US Airways Express, American Connection, Delta Connection, United Express, and so on.
Can we support them rather than being a rat hoping to get their flying...

No one can staff those aircraft except maybe SkyWest inc. if they retire lots of 200's at the same time. Seems unlikely to me, maybe mainline will take as much flying back as possible and farm out whats left.

How do I get to this fantasy world you live in? I agree that this is the outcome AAG wanted... but hell Republic can't staff what they got but you think Seaborne could? Never going to happen. That picture of the ticket counter means nothing. They are code sharing on the saab flights. That's about it.

Expressjet is already flying CRJ, and they can pickup some E145s I am sure. Skywest INC.

Basically do what Republic is doing. Drop the small jet flying for more lucrative larger regional jet flying.
Wrong buddy. We are turning down flying due to the inability to staff the flying we have. It's public record both Expressjet and Republic are unable to staff their airplanes. Think again.

BTW. PSA pilots are the scum of the earth and will never ride my jumpseat. PSA can go to hell.
