Holy Jeebus!! You two need to get a room and bro-slap each other a bit!

I don't disagree with you. All I'm saying is that the new generation is much more equipped to be "OK," with that sort of tech. I saw a child try to "swipe," the page on a book last week. Change happens. For the sake of our jobs and our livelihood, I hope you're right.

Flag of convenience airlines will kill off any good jobs much quicker than pilotless airplanes. 10 years or less and you won't have many options. the good paying legacy jobs, the regionals that serve them and many other airlines will be history. Terrible time to be getting into aviation.

Great story, thanks. :rolleyes:

Delayed again, mid 2020 now reported. Better get comfy flying crj's and emb's.

Did I miss something? The article says E2 in 2020 and MRJ 2018.

Formal announcement coming Monday from Mitsubishi. So says Reuters.
Delayed till mid 2020.

"Is it possible you could put the 175-E2 in a deep freeze until things change, or would you just say ‘Let’s not go with that?’

It is just a matter of one or two years of shifting, but we will do it because we are in an advanced stage already. It has a dedicated wing, but everything else—the components, the avionics, the interior—are basically the same as the 190. And let’s not forget there will be a market outside the U.S., and a new entrant [the Mitsubishi Regional Jet] will offer an aircraft of the same size. So we will do it anyway, because we will be competing with a new manufacturer."

More info in the article.

Things could always change, but sounds like there are no plans of canceling the 175E2.

Sounds like United may once again be in the market for a small narrow body, and already has pay scales for them.

Those -E2s or more CSeries may very well end up at mainline.
