TSA is all -145s. Yeah, they're growing, but how long are those 145s going to be around? They're falling apart already (ENYs anyway) and oil isn't going to be this low forever. Contract aside, Go jet and the 70+ seat flying seems like a safer bet.

Seems like a troll thread. If not, he sure got a beating by y'all.

That's a joke right? My second paycheck had more hours than guarantee. Included 15 hours of cancelation pay.

Too bad TSA doesn't have an order for 100 70 seaters. Oh wait

Yeah. Those MRJs are coming. Any day now. And what scoped out brand are they going to be flying under?

Getting the limitations down, reviewing 700 systems on avsoft which has really good slide shows on the system basics. How's the training department? I know a lot of people hate on the company, but I want to get my foot in the door, and settle down in one place for a few years.
I really don't know who is screwed more, you or your captain.

To any really. They fit under all scopes. You act like new jets are sitting around without flying, when reality is new jets can't come quick enough. Especially MRJs with the geared turbofans. The have 15% less fuel burn. Majors will be fighting over them.

I would WAY WAY WAY rather own my own planes than have them "borrowed" from a major.

You talk as if you really have no idea how this industry works. That or you are just super bitter and jelly there is a decent regional out there where people are happy to work.

So its great they have the planes on order, but who has the scope to allow TSA to fly these? Nobody... I also believe the MRJ90 is too heavy, even if they decide to just throw 76 seats in there.
Pick up a newspaper some time. They are getting the 76 seat version and they are getting it under the weight scope. Its engines still burn 15% less gas than a 900.

Are you really naive enough to believe they won't find flying for them or just blinded by that much hate?

May I have some of that kool aid you're drinking? That $hitt is strong!

And yes, the majority of airlines are scoped out. AA doesn't have much left to give after the the ENY -175s, options, and PSA -900 options. UAL is about maxed out on 70+ seaters and so is delta. Unless that changes soon, everyone is scoped out and won't be fighting over the MRJ that has been "coming out any day now" for the past 4 yrs.
