Ahem!

“There is a huge need there to replace 50-seaters,” he said during a conference call from Brazil. He added that replacing aging 70-seat jets in the U.S. offers further sales opportunities.

Now I wonder just who has the oldest 70-seat jets flying regional routes in the US?

ahem! "offers further sales opportunities." Not that its a done deal.. SKYW already has plenty of orders on the books to replace the aging 70-seat jets, they wouldn't need to place additional orders.

Those Alaska ones flown by OO? I think that's quite a stretch.

Please, just give it a rest. You give the rest of us a bad name.

I'm still confused about reserve time in ORD. Cruz said a few pages back that he was in class in January and started bidding in April and has a composite line for July, yet RJSCUM was hired a year and a half ago and held his first line in May.

Alright, I'll go back to adhering to Social Media policy, bullet point #6. Have a good day, gentlemen.

Because I know more than you do? That gives you a bad name? I think you give yourself a bad name well enough on your own. Have a good day!

The number of lines has gone up a bit each month so that's why I was able to hold a line possibly sooner than those hired before me.
