ill be honest with you, I personally think the CRJ2 and 145 are old pieces of crap but I also want to have a job in a few months.

He's always touted the RJ feed as critical to feeding our hubs and vital to our growth strategy. Hell, we were ADDING 50 seaters to the fleet! That he seemed certain they would be gone seems to contradict his optimism that we will emerge stronger and able to capitalize on growth/expansion opportunities. Maybe they were cooking a plan to phase them out over time and restructure our scope and fleets, and this accelerated the timeline? Maybe they decided to but E195E2s and bring everything to mainline? I have no clue, but we should be watching carefully! We need to watch our backs nytime they say things that make us say "yay!".
Good luck!

Maybe he sees an order for small narrow bodies, and demand falling for years, AA will be wishing they held onto their 190's, everything will be upguaged while demand shrinks.
319 on 321 route and SNB on 319 route, unlocked RJs are a kicker. Frequency reductions will help negate service needs for 50 seaters.

so if 50 seat jets are allegedly going away, where does that leave gojets with the 550? TSH with the turkey in the 10th frame? I don't buy it as anything more than a kneejerk reaction. We can't completely eliminate every market that only 50 seaters make sense in...

United will have to get with the times and rely less on their PamAm routes. If they bring on a SNB the 550 can become a 700 again. They may realize they're over exposed in one segment of demand.
After this mess H1N1, or SARS or any other further Chinese sanitary virus pops off they're gonna be quick to shut it down. There Asian reliance will forever have to proceed with caution for steady revenue.

His comment today regarding parking 50 seaters was in response to a question if UA has any plans to park any fleets in the near future. His response was he’s hoping for a quick recovery and not having to park any airplanes at all. He said if the recovery is too slow, he’d be looking at parking the 75, 76 and airbus fleet. He then made the comment about parking 50 seaters if the recovery was too slow.
Oscar and Scott both said UA would be taking the grant money, and anticipates UAs share being around 5 billion. Scott said they were considering the loans but hadn’t seen the terms yet. He also said current 4th quarter forecasts are a 30% decrease in revenue.
