I just hope that if this is indeed an AWAC order, the flying is for someone else because frankly I'm sick of the AA product.
Yeah I remember that as well. I believe those were the PSA -900s. What is interesting now is I can't imagine they would
order any additional airframes for PSA or any WO. The bonuses and flow are hardly attracting anyone to PSA and it sounds like the remaining -900s, and for sure the Envoy 700s, won't be arriving as scheduled.

I am as well. Billyho said he could find you a pilot at any regional that is sick of their mainline partner, I'm sure he can, but I gotta think for any of the AA RJ guys It's pretty sad. In comparison, yesterday I came home from LGA-DSM in First. It was a Endeavor -900. The service was amazing. I was asked what I wanted for dinner. I couldn't believe I was being asked this on an RJ. Wild Salmon on rice or some kind of fancy salad. I charged my phone and iPad during the flight home. It was amazing. Delta actually cares, a lot, about the quality of their regional feed and being just like mainline on the inside. United is heading in that direction, especially with the 170/175s. AA?

As for ADS-B yes last month or so one of the In Touch emails talked about how they were to begin installing them soon.

American serves first class meals on the longer RJ flights too and so does United. It's all the same at the three. I don't blame American for not putting USB and power outlets on the new 175/900 first class seats, it's a waste of money and weight. At least all the older American 700/900s and 170/175s have wifi now. The 200s are going away so why waste the money on wifi with those planes? Does delta have wifi on their 200s?

406 and 407 will come off the line but stay in MKE in case they need to be put back in service (in the event there are more runaway trucks on the PHL ramp). 402 is next though and will most likely be turned into beer cans.

LOL! Right.... Each carrier has it's issue. You think Delta is great? Look what they've done to their regionals in the past. United? Look what they did to AWAC back in the day.

Contract carriers are here for one think. Low Cost! Period. Once the cost reach a certain point you'll see Mainline either purchase them or do there own flying. The future will be interesting for sure.

I think you completely missed the point. Passenger service/convenience is different than how mainline treats its contract carrier. One think is different than the other think.

FWIW Delta's Facebook recruiting page recently had a post reiterating the fact that they are Delta "Air Lines" (two words), not Delta Airlines and that it made a difference on the application. So...

Poor grammar is a sign of lower level of professionalism and education. A true professional would care about such things, and strive to pay close attention to details.

When I see a post with the wrong use of "their/there/they're", I see someone that lacks attention to detail, and so will potential employers.
