How many do we really need?
With the present fleet, the fleet on order, and projections for the near- and mid-range future, how many Regional aircraft types, made by how many aircraft manufacturers, can the global air system economically absorb?
You can only afford to spend so much national pride (read: subsidies). We've seen Canadian Pride. Now we may be seeing Chinese Pride, Japanese Pride, Ukrainian Pride,... The concept of 'Too big to allow failure' is getting a workout. |

That's not really fair. The problem was in the A/C sensors. Hardly a show stopper, they just wanted to be safe.
And don't forget Mitsubishi is basically making its first new plane in 60 years. It is essentially starting from scratch. That's a brutal learning curve and they have paid for it. Are you forgetting all the Dreamliner problems? I'd fly on an MRJ over that Chinese plane any day of the week. Japanese quality vs. Chinese quality? Not even a contest. |

Insecure? What do I have to be insecure about, don't have a horse in this race.
You guys wont hold scope, and you know it because history says so. You guys have a history of folding like a shirt on stuff like this. I guess we will just have to wait and see who's right... |

Not one who parades on the internet claiming to have inside information about the private dealings of an airline when all they are qualified to do is fly airplanes.

What's to stop Mitsubishi from doing this as well, in order to sell more planes to the US regional market? Also, if they don't do this, and if scope doesn't change for any of the US mainline, what are OO and TSA going to do with their planes on order? Did they order them with the hope/expectation that scope would be relaxed?
It's almost certain that SKW leveraged the MRJ orders to get better terms from embrear, which essentially has become a monopoly since bombardier has essentially resigned from the RJ market due to lack of relevant products going forward.. |

Nope. You're just a tool bag who thinks he knows everything. It's pretty common knowledge that our COO has said the MRJ would never fly here. But what do I know, I just fly airplanes, oh, and parade.

That is funny you bring up the Dreamliner and Japanese quality - a huge problem with the Dreamliner was cracks in the wings due to parts made by? Yep, a company in Japan - Mitsubishi. And you don't think a large number of parts in this new plane will be built in China? Unless the US major airlines buy into this project then how do they plan on making money?

I'm the tool because I called you out for not knowing what you're taking about? Maybe you can tell us which regional's routes mighty Skywest is taking over next?
