The rumor is heard was 35 factory new 900s, at a bargain price of $21 million each. I don't know about that though because they said configured at 70 seats for AA scope... but AA scope says 66-76 seats count the same. 50-65 seats count the same, hence why PSA/Envoy have 63 and 65 seat 700s.

Anyone who believes that seriously needs help. They can make the 900's but to say they have 30-40 new planes just sitting is crazy. They don't even have room to park 30 planes at the plant.

Those rumors where spread to get jr guys to vote yes and it worked. Every sapa rep that promised this growth for a passing package should resign their position if it doesn't actually happen.

There not planes sitting around waiting for a buyer.

No OEM is building aircraft to stock. They are generally build to order.

Bombardier may be desperate however to keep the production line going by selling some new 900 for marginal cost.

Don't expect a sizable number of new planes before late 2018 if there will be an order for new equipment.

Especially considering that those same SAPA reps are still spreading those rumors. I've seen texts sent by SAPA reps to some captains that I fly with and the claims are seemingly outrageous. We'll see whether they happen or not, but I have a feeling it was all smoke and mirrors to get junior pilots and lifers to vote yes. Also has anyone ever considered that after XJT ceases to exist, someone will be undertaking their CRJ 900 flying? Perhaps SkyWest will be obtaining those 30 aircraft due to XJT's demise.

Bull-honky
Montreal may not be *kicking out* the commercial airframes but they sure as heck didn't build a single 900 without a home.

CRJ900 First half of 2017:
Delivered 11 CRJ 900 airframes
New CRJ 900 orders = 10
Backlog still to be produced = 25

Bombardier is a public company with all of this information reported to the SEC.

I voted NO on the TA and new airplanes had nothing to do with my decision.
The Canadian government had to bail them out similar to the way our's bailed out General Motors years ago. Several orders were cancelled as production was finalized on the new airplanes. Many regional airlines are switching to 175s and getting away from new CRJs.

Ask dumb questions you get dumb responses bud.

PM and I'm willing to spill what I know.

Rumors were spread to get jr guys to vote yes? Many who voted yes are senior guys because of the higher 401K contribution. Over 700 pilots didn't vote at all, which is ridiculous in itself.

Where else would we get them from then? :confused:
