LASA......

No need to speculate. SkyWest Inc is taking them. And 12 new 900s too.

Hope I'm wrong, but me thinks you're about to get Comaired. Good luck kids.

He doesn't and he's pulling **** out of his arse. XJT management has said that they don't receive final schedules from DL until about 5 weeks prior.

SkyWest Inc exclusive to SkyWest, or will Lasa receive some as well?

#1 Comair's stance against a 12 year CA and 4 year FO pay scale with a top heavy seniority list #2 Delta's inability to sell off Comair because of #1 above and their aging 200 fleet that no one else wanted. #3 Comair was owned by Delta #4 RG was their CEO #3 and #4 are the only two that are similarities between the two. If they Comair Endeavor Delta gets nothing except a tax write off. By getting rid of all 200's and becoming a 900 only fleet it makes Endeavor much more attractive than Comair was to sell off. My Guess, GoJets. Notice I said guess |
12th. I think I might get the hang of it after another 50 hours!

You've been a 121 pilot for what 3 months and never flown a 200, kinda hard for you to be making that assumption. I'm not defending 200's but they're not that much worse than 7/9's or any piece of junk RJ for that matter.

Just to stir the pot a little more there have been rumors that Mesa has been working on something with Delta. I can't imagine they'd want to get back into the 50 seat game again, but I guess if the price was right...

Just look at my username as one of many examples of the superior dispatch reliability and performance of the 700/900 versus the 200 :D Overall, though, you're right--all CRJs leave a bit to be desired. I'm becoming acutely aware of that as I start studying for E175 upgrade at Mesa. Can you say "Flight Level Change"??? |

Who ever it is, they won't be cheaper then 9E. So the real question is, why is DAL willing to spend a little extra now for foreseeable extra revenue at a later date? My best guess is to trim the fat at 9E and get someone to fly these worthless tin cans at a contract that can easily cancelled. With all 200's gone, DAL and 9E can streamline and expedite 900 training for a better position going into 2015-2016 flying. Not saying 9E is going to get more planes, just saying it will better to manage routes and scheduling with one type of aircraft. Although flexibility going into different markets will be reduced, it must be DAL plan of sending 9E into normally high capacity routes with less frequency i.e. New York. If they can fill the gap in high demand time slots for business travelers, they can complete with LCC's operating up and down the east coast simply because they have a low cost regional model.
I always see everyone talking about mainline whipsawing regionals around to lower cost, which they have accomplished at 9E...Rock Bottom. Investors don't care much about expense cutting as they do revenue growth. One way (of many) is to capture market share in a growing market with your own low cost model and see if it works. If it doesn't, BYE BYE 9E. Just my take...if your company gets the 200's, consider it a curse rather than blessing because you are not part of the long term business plan at DAL...just a pawn in the chess match. |

You'll find out soon enough that this mighty E-180 isn't what you guys have built it up to be. |

Damn, 67/hr career top out when you realize majors don't hire people with shot backgrounds via a phone interview.

Horse hockey. You'd have to be crediting 120 hours a month (which is doable, I have done it myself) to make that much. The same Mesa CA would be making 100K+ with per diem. Your comparison is apples to oranges.

You'll find out soon enough that this mighty E-180 isn't what you guys have built it up to be. Bottom line--I'm really just sick of hunching over on the walk of shame to the aft lav of the 700, and at Mesa existing CRJ CAs are barred from lateral transfer to the EJet, so the EJet will be a junior airplane here for at least the next 4-5 years. I don't mean to sidetrack your thread--I'm just a former 9e pilot who has come out really well (for now) by finally bailing out of that sinking ship. I hope all of you will find better opportunities than sitting around DTW/JFK on 4th year FO pay in perpetuity--you're better than that (at least the Pinnacle guys I know are!). |

Though I hear that 50-seat contract won't be renewed whenever it's up (now I hear it'll be up in December, keeps changing depending on who I talk to), I wonder about the feasibility of running CRJ7/9's to a place like Flagstaff. Maybe they'll decrease frequency or just put a turboprop on it.
|
Delta going back to turboprops? Ha that's funny!!
|
Sorry, slight detour from the thread topic. That's an Airways PHX contract.
|
The way i see it SkyWest has a good staffing bubble with the E120 pilots. And ASA has the XJT pilots to staff all the 9E 200's if needed.. But im guessing 20-30 planes each...
|
I find it ironic that management setup 9E as a revolving door airline, you get the time, then gtfo, and now that they are succeeding in their original 'Endeavor", mgt. is all up in arms about it. Yet, however, fundamentally they changed nothing about how this airline operates, and in most cases made everything worse.
It's like saying, I was going to whip you, and it will be awful, but now that the whip is the one from the Indian Jones movie, you're going to love it. |
The way i see it is they have 9E on a cost nutral base.. The BOD realy doesnt understand why thy cant show them as money making... Because if they do there is no whipsawing the rate reset!! My guess is they know 9E is a short term gap (sorry guys/gals) but history shows Delta uses and discards regionals... Just a mater of time.. Plus Delta wants out of the 200 leases.. They have learned that its a pain to have ASA/SKY/9E hand over a plane then walk away leaving Delta with a bill for storage/return...

I doubt they would go to GoJet. Seems like they want to make this switch happen as fast as possible. LASA and SKW make the most sense since they already operate the 200 and have both MSP and DTW bases. Not excited to see all the shuffling going just chiming in with what I believe is going to happen.

As for what the details of the leases are and what happens when they return a plane, do you know the terms of the leases on all the 200's in the Delta fleet? For that matter, I've seen no solid evidence that 9E has anything to do with a rate reset. Didn't someone just post that Skywest is already cheaper than 9E? More to the point, the thread of this title should be "Who will be the unlucky winner of more Delta Flying?" I wouldn't be surprised to see the 200's placed at GoJets only to be placed at 9E 6 months later. That would be par for the course for this industry and Delta/NWA past moves.
|
I know Delta had a deal when they bought the new 900's for 9E that bombardier would asume some of the risk for some of the 200's. Think thats come and gone already.. But likly its someone that already operates the 200's to keep the small fleet of 100-125 of them to serve small communities.... On a short 5-6 year contract. Maybe even prorate...
