Lol wat?
Was this a serious comment?

Lol No- I was poking fun at the ridiculousness of the rumor mills lately

It’s on the ramp in DFW as we speak north of Zulu bridge.

Hopefully this motivates (scares, maybe even) those DFW boys at the APA into fighting for higher group 1 rates

I remember when the CnR crowd, and even here, thought Doug was gonna sell off all our Airbii/737s and buy 500 E190's at Group I pay.

We've already spent so much on new airplanes so far and are even deferring deliveries to put off spending cash, I don't see the company buying more new ones.

I will admit I totally saw myself in the left seat of that C series doing hour legs around the Midwest though.

De-icing 6 times in one day for group 2 fo rates?

If AAG has no intention of acquiring more G1 aircraft after the 190s leave in 2020, then they just need to eliminate the G1 scale.

Why? It’s not like they can’t buy another group 1 plane in the future.

Delta has committed to 75 of the A220 series. It would not be a wise decision to eliminate Group 1 just because at this moment AA is not purchasing them. Plans can and do change. Unless, by eliminating Group 1, one wants to cede flying of future 100 - 130 seat planes to the regionals.

Group I? It's the same size as an A319.

I didn't even deice six times this season on the 80. Weather has mostly been awesome, can't say that for those going up and down the east coast.
