That wouldn't fit in with the current business model. It's mostly transcontinental flights with a large customer base out of SFO and LAX. I don't think VX would do well with 50 seat RJs out of Modesto or Stockton like United does. VX simply doesn't have the presence in small cities to justify regional feed. Heck, we aren't even connecting the dots on our route map (eg, ORD to DFW or JFK to FLL) because again the customer base isn't local to that area. So I really can't see RJs feeding from cities we have virtually no presence. As for larger RJs operated by VX itself (like how JetBlue operates the E190), I don't think that will be likely with JetBlue taking losses on the E190 fleet due to engines and maintenance.

It's looks more likely when regional pilots bend over and accept concessions instead of having the guts to stand up and say no.

I'll see if I can find out.

What Shy said.

Dude you are way behind the times they are releasing 1 qtr of 2013 already. Whats up with your airline?

ibfurloughed

Not a public company. Does not have the same reporting requirements as a public company.

Thats what i was wondering.
When I asked -what were the expectations for this first qtr?-

Roost

One of them was a 1/24/11 DOH.

VX is a private company and doesn't release quarterly results until just days before the DOT releases them. The DOT is scheduled to release 4th quarter airline results on May 12, so expect VX to release them just before the DOT does. Similarly, the 1st quarter results won't be released until just days before the DOT releases them.

Thanks, you can PM me.

Thats the thing, sooner or later you run out of transcons you can run with an A320.

But there are plenty of second tier markets that can feed those transcons. Not with a CRJ-200... but an E-175 would probably fit the business model well. They're not going to be flown by VX pilots unless its at regional wages though.
