No one wants 50 seaters. Not even JO.Originally Posted by 121again
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...

I beg to differ, and I've flown 200s/700s/900s for Mesa, and 200s for Endeavor.Originally Posted by Cruz5350
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 look at my username as one of many examples of the superior dispatch reliability and performance of the 700/900 versus the 200
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"???

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.
Except 9e still isn't the cheapest.Originally Posted by Past V1
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.

Well it definitely isn't express jets. I wonder if the powers that be at Delta read these forums? If they do I bet it provides for some very good laughter over there. Some of these post are way out there.Originally Posted by BlueMoon

You do realize that flight level change is basically the same as speed mode except you have auto thrust instead of pushing into a detent? Quote:

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