Correct! I looked all over You Tube for a video clip of that scene but couldn't find one. It's been about 20 years since I saw the movie, thus the misquote, but still one of my favorites!

Any idea how much RAW CQ is worth?

Say 2% loss from reduced profit sharing, so no, it's not 20%. Water under the bridge, but you brought it up. It passed, we're moving on, but don't rewrite history.

Do we know yet which DCI carriers will be getting the 70 76-seaters?

I'd assume it wouldn't be an E-Jet operator so that takes out Shuttle and Compass. Leaves Skywest/ASA, Comair, Pinnacle and GoJet?

I'm pretty sure SkyWest showed their cards today and they won't be a DCI operator in 2017...

I'd imagine SkyWest will now provide more money for Parker to help bankroll the USAirways AMR tie-up in exchange for the lions share of the Jumbo RJ outsourcing at the combined carrier...

I'd bet you $130 that you're wrong, but I don't want to get on the wrong side of T. However...

IF... this airplane is actually certified, and

IF... SKW actually takes delivery of it, and

IF... Delta wants it to be flown at the connection level.

Then, you will see those aircraft on a ramp near you, painted in Delta colors, flying our passengers. Unless, of course, ALPA steps up and... well, nevermind....

Doesn't make it any less of an onerous abuse of bureaucratic power.
