Whats the alternative? Airbus had a years long backlog and the NEO with the GTF engine has its own year long grounding problem right now.

ERJ-195 E2? That would be the only alternative really that I can think of.

that could work but it doesn’t have the range of the 7.. not even close. Most regional pilots already have the type for it so it would be an easy transition.

You're a dreamer. I admire your positivity.


100 percent my solution, not what GK would ever allow. Until he is no longer in control, we are going to stay a 737 operator.

You can set 0s in a 787!

Guess we've removed the cursed albatross from the fleet plan for the year. What's plan B Bob?!!

DOJ isn't going to approve any big mergers. Wait for Spirit to liquidate and pick up the pieces?
