PSA regularly uses 1300-1500 lbs as reserve fuel in the 200. On flights with no tanker fuel or an alternate there is supposed to be a ~600 pad added on top of that, but you can eat through that quickly if you're not paying attention or with ATC wrenches thrown in thus a certain percentage of our flights land around the 1500 lb mark or a little above.

For many years guys got bitter with stagnation. It is unfortunate these people passed their bitterness on to the "new class" while these bitters have gone back to normal at their new major job. I'll sit and listen to these fellas complain in the Jumpseat, I just hope their outlook on their fellow pilot can start over at the majors. Young and impressionable when they showed up at a rough time.

Air Wiscancel. $hitstreak. It's all the same. Proud RJ operators with either 50/76/80+ people ****ed off in the back. One is no better than another, it is a means to an end.
Bottom line: people buy a ticket on AA. They board a plane from A-B, B-C. One may or may not be operated by an rj operator. Not one of those people really cares whether they're on air Wiscancel or psaywearegoingoffacliff.
