Default Scope Choke in Action

First Embraer 175 routes from ORD to DCA and BOS

Posted February 17, 2014

We announced Monday that we will launch service with the Embraer 175 (E175) aircraft on flights between ORD and DCA (Reagan Washington National) beginning May 17 and between ORD and BOS (Boston) beginning May 19. The E175 allows us to provide a better product in these markets when the level of demand is best suited to regional aircraft.

Blatant A320 routes. I love how in one of the daily emails last week they announced "exciting new routes" and every single one of them was on an RJ. I just keep telling myself eventually there is supposed to be less of them. I hope these guys continue to fight for better compensation.

The only way we will continue to staff over the next 25 years is if we bring these big RJs on property(with mainline wages) and hire young guys directly.

Probably true, unless they eventually get us down to 1 or even no pilots. Sure near future is unlikely but 25 years its very possible. Think how far we,ve come in the last 25-30 years. In the meantime, i just hope they maintain the good screening process we have now. I would never want to end up in a situation like asia and china are in where you dont really need to show any sort of skill to fly an A330.

You're assuming we have pilots now that show skill at flying....big assumption. Especially for me!

And our customers are overjoyed at the changes. Here is an example of one if the comments on the United Facebook
Page...

What market research told you that regional jet service is what your customers want? Not a fan of regional jets piloted by less experienced / low paid pilots. I fly other airlines to avoid your regional jet service.

Because people aren't numbers I guess.
