If you fly the 175 you can fly above FL280, but you don't get Delta non-rev benefits.

Choice of domiciles. CRJ has a lot more options.

I can't say for certain but I believe the schedules on the 175 are better than the CRJ. -- That would certainly be true compared MSP pairings.

Yeah, my gut says the same. Someone posted some rumors back in April stating:
"MIA base for AA
DTW base for DL
More E175s for Alaska
E175 flying for Delta"

So far, 1 out of 4 has come true. Another one sounds reasonable. Two others seem to be a stretch...

How many 175's does Delta have left to award? Or will there be some that have been awarded but can't be staffed from other airlines? I have been thinking for the past couple months that we are doing way to much training for the 175 for the flying we have. Seems like they are gearing up for something. I think you would see a lot more people bid the 175 if we were doing it for Delta.

So I know the pilots said no to the latest contract. I also understand why... Just wondering if there's been anymore work to get a new contract? Maybe one with more first year pay and be fair to the old guys/gals that have been with the company during the lean years?
Thanks!!

Don't know how accurate it is, but I have heard that the reason all this FL280 crap is happening is because Skywest is the only regional that is really tracking slow speed events AND voluntarily reporting them to the FAA. Seems plausible to me. PSA guys get ready to have a lot more Feds in your sim sessions and jumpseats!

Cool, the feds can watch how I climb a 200 all the way to FL320 without stalling it and take notes for you.

Remember this ^^^^^^^^^^^^


Just to put things into perspective OO did NOT stall a 200 in a climb to FL320


If you can factually prove otherwise show the proof. If OO stalled an aircraft the media would be all over it! If you really want to know what the reason is I invite you to call the SLC FSDO and talk to the OO CMO. If you get no where file a FOIA request. Till then stop spreading false rumor.

PS the engines in the link are NOT OOs but a PSA CRJ 200 wanna talk about that incident? stop throwing stones.

Good God. Why is all this saliva throwing necessary? Cool out guys!

This whole "our pilot group vs your pilot group" BS is ludicrous!

Agreed. But we all know pilots (especially pilots who post on anonymous internet forums) aren't the most mature or intelligent group.

It is what if it is.
