Best is when you get drunk on cheap beer. Have a massive breakfast and a nice couple cups of black coffee to get the ol pipes working. Puking will be dignified option. Sit back there with a too small pair of uniform pants. Just wait til you hit a cabin alt of 8 grand. Mud butt and swamp a** will have you smelling good and ripe.

Those 200s are an ice box compared to our dash 8s. The debate we have is how hot is too hot, 85, 90, 95 before we refuse the plane? I have never been so hot in my life..

And tell people to stop single engine taxing the Dash 8 300's on hot days!! You're robbing a nice cooling plane of half its air flow. Dumb!!!
I don't miss the Dash in the summer that's for sure.

The fleet plan picture that's up on the El Guapo Facebook page is very curious. Where are the 12 CRJ200's coming from that are slated to be gone by Q4 of 2016?
And are we getting any of the incoming -700/900's? Or are we just going to park aircraft to cover attrition/poor hiring?
Maybe that's what the "Big Summer Announcement!" is all about?
And yea the -200 packs suck. Sometimes they get fixed, most of the time the ducting has been blown off its connections. The summertime is not the time to taxi in with the APU off to save gas or start/stop cycles. You're just asking for an overheated ECU for the next flight. Don't be dumb.

What I have heard (that sounds the most plausible) is that PSA will take delivery of the remaining Eagle 700s beginning in 2017 and ending in 2018, and they will be a 1 for 1 replacement for our 200s making us an all 700/900 regional. Our newish 200s will be offered to Whiskey as replacement for the old 200s you are currently flying. I don't know what strings might be attached to any of this though.

The timing of 700s coming to PSA in a one for one 200 replacement based on the time frame of E145s coming back to Envoy from TSA and Expressjet along with more new E175s. Envoy will not be able to staff the returning E145s, 175 deliveries and retain 700s. 700s will go to PSA, and 200s will leave PSA making PSA a 700/900 only operator and Envoy will operate two fleet types rather than three. PSA 200s will get parked long term or go to anther carrier.
