I wonder what they'll do when the 145 is no longer feasible. Granted that's still a while off but if I were them I'd be courting the manufacturers now to see what they're up to. My guess is their replacement aircraft will be an ATR or a first gen hydrogen powered aircraft. The Dash 8 is ahead of th...
Jump to postBFI-MSP & BFI-DAL? Seriously? No way for an ERJ... Only 30 seats and 30 pax+bags, quite a bit lighter than a typical regional config, especially for the 145s. Both routes are within ERJ published performance even without accounting for decreased payload. Also, sad to see PDX omitted from this m...
Jump to postJust now on CBS there's another passenger has stated: "The nose pitched up severely, followed by a a dive downwards". No mention of strong g forces.

Jump to postBack in the 70's and 80's these were reasonably well paying jobs that were either the entry level position to an airline career or with time paid enough that it could support a family.

Jump to postEvery article I've seen says that ATC "talked him down". Most ATC know very little about flying an aircraft, so unless they just happen to have an ATC person familiar with the Caravan, I suspect they got someone in there who knew how to operate it.

N682DA flying DL1227 from RNO to ATL just diverted to CHA thanks to the storms in ATL today and I had the pleasure of getting to spot it on approach. I noticed this bird does not have winglets which I thought was pretty rare for a Delta 757. So my question for the Delta fleet experts: Is there a rea...
Jump to postBOS-KEF is well within the range of the A220. If there isn't enough demand to support the 757 does anyone think the operating economics of the A220 are low enough to entice Delta to give it a shot?
Jump to postNot often I agree with you but.... I can see Boeing closing their Boeing Field operations in the medium term and relocating to another Right To Work location (not necessarily Charleston). The 737 replacement will go out of the state. That just leaves Everett with two limited time programs building ...

Lots of automobile plants in the area ( Mercedes near Tuscaloosa and Honda near Lincoln ...
Jump to postI know this may be a long shot with Chattanooga being a smaller airport, but KCHA has recently out of the blue starting receiving daily arrivals/departures from charter cargo operators.

Jump to postWhat type of aircraft? Just curious. I was on this flight and the woman in question was seated in the row directly behind me. We were on an A321 (N372DN).

Jump to postWhere does anyone get the false impression the CSeries has ever been positioned as a regional jet??? It isnt a false impression.

Jump to postWhere does anyone get the false impression the CSeries has ever been positioned as a regional jet???

Something to consider - even if you selected one of those airports as your origin there is no guarantee that your plane would be at the beginning of a trip and have no need to reposition.
Everyone should be proud to fight for a good quality of living for their fellow workers. why are you not proud to help others?

1) Very short haul flying: DFW-GRK/SPS/GRK, IAH-GRK/LRD/CRP/LCH, etc. These routes I see shifting to prop planes akin to the way AC or AS operates theirs.
