Folks, this may be somewhat of a tangent, but how many of those MRJs expected to come to TSA will actually be flying for TSA when they at last arrive? Is TSA planning on replacing all its ERJ 145s at some future time?

Personally I don't look more than two or three years out in the contract flying business. These contracts are so full of loopholes and the business can change so much anything more than a year or two is reading tea leaves.

We really haven't cancelled many flights for lack of crews unless delays stack up. 3.5/4 crews per airplane is insane to run an airline but somehow we are doing it right now.

I use my ID travel for AA all the time with less than 24 hours advance notice when jumpseating and have had no problems...
