Why 900 lites? AA scope is 50-65 seats count the same, 66-76 seats count the same. Envoy and PSA have 63 and 65 seat CRJ700s and they count the same as a 200 or E145. Our 700s are configured for 70 seats and count the same as a 900/175. No need to make a 900 lite.

Because it is a "good" rumor to get TAs passed. They Aldo do not manufacture anything else but 900s anymore.

I agree. I would assume if AA does in fact own those airplanes they would go to PSA. This is all just speculation. I have no idea what’s going to happen. I think what is more likely is XJT goes to a single type certificate.

Default Seattle Crew Base Meeting...

I didn’t know the Burien RT banquet room was so busy, that we can’t get a crew base meeting rescheduled.
Rant over...

Sorry CRJ crews too, you’re getting jacked!

major partners don’t really dictate bases.

Not specifically. But if they give you a bunch of flying at a major hub, you're probably going to need a base.

In many or most cases, they can move your contracted flying around at will, even if you don't want to.
