At the trailer park in concourse B, it looks like they have passenger loading ramps now to accommodate E175s but I could be wrong.

Looking at the next domicile vacancy report, there are no Denver openings so it's a wait and see to see who will leave Denver on the CRJ side and if they backfill those spots or not.

you're not wrong about the ramps. they accomodate 175s, I've seen it

I'd go 175 if you want LA.

Probably the -700 since its MMO is .84 and the 175 is what, .80?

:D

Close. We can go .82 but if you're ORD reserve, you aren't going anywhere. :o

What are the international travel benefits with SkyWest?

Depends on base and equipment.

All CRJ pilots pretty much get Delta and United with the ability to upgrade to first and business. Some pilots get American, no upgrades. Delta limits you to 6 ocean crossings a year. Flying to South America is not an ocean crossing.

Also, ZED agreements with 60+ companies. Jumpseat agreements with 50+ companies, some allow flowback international travel (including some Canadian companies and Air Jamaica), some only allow domestic jumpseating.

United benefits, I might add, are useless. Useless.
