What happens if during the diversion, someone has a medical issue that requires being transported to a hospital?

Jump to postI have experienced some major delays on regionals , most seem to stem from a lack of flexibility in the schedule.

I'm surprised that the connections to the south and southeast USA is so poor from YVR. Trying to get to Atlanta or Florida or the Caribbean is a whole day affair and one or frequently two stops. That seems the biggest void for YVR in my view. Is WestJet not adding some ATL flights? I frequent GSP f...
Jump to postI don't think any major will purchase a RJ that isn't a 76 capable airplane again. Even if you have a segment that is relegated to 70 seats or less (like Delta), or 65 or less (like AA), it makes more sense to buy a 900/175, and certify it at the limit, so should scope change (unlikely) in the futu...
