I get it, there's some QoL differences, sublte contract differences, etc, but its not like any airline, even the 'top tier' regionals, are willing to pay pilots a decent salary for being the trained, experienced, college educated professionals that they are.

I think it's funny that we can all agree regional pilots are underpaid. But then in the next breath we can say that all regionals suck and it doesn't matter that regional xyz gets paid 5000 more per year than regional abc. Either pay matters or it doesn't. You have to start somewhere.

Minimwage4 said, in part:
Could be the airframe version of a fuel hedge: not much money down, on a contract to buy. Get a better price when they did this, than when Mitsubishi is actually rolling aircraft out the factory door.
Or sell their delivery positions.
Maybe just forget all this flying nonsense, and become an aircraft leasing company.
Remember whose head we're trying to get inside of
... I'm guessing they wouldn't have these orders unless they have a plan on where to put them.

To anyone at TSA still considering ADI, please DO YOUR RESEARCH. A little google searching would have save a few people who have already left. Please spread the word to the crew room trolls and save a career.
Youngstown News, Feds say airline not fit to provide Chicago flights from Youngstown
The US DOT has denied the application...to begin daily air service...based on the airline's lack of "fitness."
The government also went another step, proposing that ADI also have its existing certification...revoked--on the grounds that the company doesn't have the "managerial competence necessary" nor the "proper compliance disposition and regard for the laws and regulations governing its services."

On the future of TSA and the 50 pax airframe - even if the lease holders are just using up the 50 seat jets and will park them when they require investment at heavy maint, won't they need something else to pick up those pax and someone to fly those birds? Is there that much excess capacity in all the 70 seaters to absorb all the pax/flying of the 145's if they were all parked? And if that excess capacity doesn't exist, then why should TSA be less likely than anyone else to fly those future aircraft? Seems like TSA has found a niche FOR NOW and is exploiting it. What they do in 5 years when the 145 contracts run out will be different.
