Someone reminded me about busses - I like that idea vs driving.

Looking at the APC profiles; SKYW operates and has the most CRJ 200's out there. Whats the future for these planes? 170 CRJ 200's can't bode well for the pilot group? Do they have a replacement plan for these?

50 seat regional jets will be used in limited markets where they are profitable or used for EAS. The future is the larger regional jets that the majors now favor. In training at Skywest, they are saying the 50 and 70 seat RJs will fade away as the Embraer 175s appear, but will be spread out amongst all airlines. I just plan on upgrading as soon as I can add getting out. As regional airlines can't find pilots to fly, they will have to focus on the more lucrative flying and cull the rest. All regionals will shrink, many will fail and mainline flying will leave us lowlife commuter pilots more opportunity to move on.

Almost done with my sim training. Many washing out but I'm still going strong and excited to get on the line.

Even with a clause requiring Delta to bring on new narrowbody aircraft at mainline to do so, the TA was voted down. I can't say that was the only reason it didn't pass, but most mainline pilots who voice their opinions seem to think the release of scope during all the BK's was the single most detrimental factor to their careers. This leads me to believe we won't see a relaxation of scope, thus any of those additional 175's will either be 700/900 replacements or come from another regional who loses them.

Sims already? Damn! You must have been so good they jumped you forward two weeks if you started Indoc on the 17th.

Your troll sauce is weak my friend. I know you can do better then that! I believe in you!!
