Can't see Endeavor starting a program for just six tired 170s. Might be a blessing in disguise. More green days so line holders can drop trips. Little bit less for the mechanics to juggle and hopefully get to fixing our MELs. Attrition is healthy. Chill out dudes

Yeah, this is where my thinking is. Attrition will outpace the exit of the six aircraft from our fleet. Plus, don't we usually have that many airplanes down for MX at a time?

How times have changed, wasn't it just a year ago that we had a few Republic/Shuttle planes sitting in a hanger waiting to come to Compass.

With attrition and some of those down already for heavy checks hopefully it doesn't change much for us and leverages us for something else. Hopefully better MX performance to not deal with those 6 old planes anymore and hopefully those airframes are replaced with something else for someone. Weren't those 170s Virgin prior to Northwest even? In the end net loss airframes is not helping.

Virgin Blue but they never recieved NWA Airlink Paint. Initial contract was for 12 with Delta, but the other 6 had different plans in Europe.

Just curious, is there any evidence that these 6 airplanes have contributed in a significant way to how bad our MX performance is?
