Replace the Qs with those 30 UAL purchased 175s? Funny how they bought the equal number of Qs. They still haven't announced where those are going either. My money is not RAH. Originally Posted by Bozo the pilot:1471187

To me, there is NO reason to rush into an upgrade on a machine that is not staffed on the FO side so CA's are flying right seat all the time. No reason to commute from the West Coast to PIT or EWR to get cancelled more than you fly. No reason to fly an airplane that is a ticking time bomb waiting to violate you if you are not 100% on your game.
My hat goes off to the guys and gals out there slaving away on that thing. I know you all will have some incredible stories to tell when that major interview comes your way.
Well then what do you think UAL is planning? They wont tolerate it for long bro. Q program is in serious jeopardy because of cx.

Also the Q is not a bad plane. Just look at Horizon. The problem is RAH and their save a penny here spend $1,000 later mentality. I also don't envy our Q drivers. Company builds their lines to 93 hrs and 12 days off. Uncommutable outstation base trips too.
