Never! But... I can see us bringing the rest of the AG 700's online to replace Q flights.

Most of them have been going back to the leaser... they took a few off the opps specs... AS wants 1 seamless product.. all E175's and Q's. The CRJ's are a bandaid... ok maybe a tourniquet...

Sorry man. I don't understand how your management can be so short sighted.

Fly the line here for a week or two and you will be dialed in.

The ones that aren't already in Seattle are at the hanger in Tucson. Check the flow board, they are all there.

Getting ready for lease return? They were retired last November. The lessor is AAG. Nothing needs to be done to return them. If Alaska wants them back in service, they could be flying next week. That they are back on the flow board is an indication that Alaska and SkyWest are holding that option open.

I was in TUS at the MX facility a few weeks ago. The MX people said one AK 700 was sold and the 3-4 sitting on the ground were being returned to the lessor. There's even one I saw a month or so ago sitting on the ground in Bangor.

I was there two weeks ago and counted seven in front of the hangar. Good point as to why we have so many 200's in Seattle and not these 700's.
