Bombardier is already making 100 seat jets CRJ1000. This will for sure be fitted with under 100 seats so your management doesn't have to pay you or an extra flight attendant.

I've heard it could be 1 of 2 things or both.

1) Atlanta Base
2) 15 more crj900s for delta side
Fired their President COO Ron Reber. Apparently he wasn't able to withstand the operation blunders that were happening throughout the system this year. Pilot hiring, Ramp worker attrition (low pay and over worked), United forcing quick turn schedulaes on all of their regional partners, AND failure to capture bonuses. I believe they left $4-$6 million on the table this past quarter.

Thanks I was wandering what the "Big News" was and couldn't figure it out through all of the bickering.
