Years ago nobody would have thought to fly 757s to Europe, now we do that all the time...

Thought we have announced that the 757s were coming off of the Europe routes, something about not working as well as hoped.

Cal flies it IAH-ANC, fuel critical when it pushes and often 20 seats blocked.....

With tough winds it stops for fuel in SEA

This GoJet announcement really grinds my gears.

Doubt it, they would then have to negotiate a higher hourly rate for the A330-200 that is being fitted with dual bunks and increased gross weight for missions over 12 hours.

It is the old "pump & dump" trade. Buy on the rumor, sell on the news.

More Questions:

When Comair makes a $40 million profit, which airline actually gets the money?

SkyWest plans large regional jet order

23 August 2011

The airline group which owns SkyWest Airlines, Atlantic Southeast Airlines (ASA), and ExpressJet Airlines is in talks with four manufacturers about a firm order for hundreds of regional jets.

US regional airline group SkyWest Inc is planning to place a firm order for several hundred regional jets as it takes delivery of its last four aircraft on firm order this year.

SkyWest Inc CFO and treasurer, Michael Kraupp, says the airline group, which acquired ExpressJet Airlines last year, now has a fleet of 725 aircraft consisting of Bombardier and Embraer regional jets, many of which will be retired over the next years.

“As you can imagine we are going to have to start with a replacement strategy for each of our airlines,” Kraupp tells Airfinance Journal.

“To keep our fleet status quo, we need to replace...
Now I don't have access to the whole article, but yeah you have a fleet of 725 mostly 50 seat regional jets but why replace them if we're (for instance) getting rid of 50 seaters?

Or maybe they're looking at bigger than 76 "regional" jets. Maybe some branded flying? In that case, boy I'm glad we didn't do anything about AE/AMR flying in LAX, RAH flying with Frontier, TSA buying Mitsubishi jets, and now as we all think could eventually happen, Skywest will jump into that same holdings style flying. Maybe, maybe not.

chances of getting language in C2012 ending all of this outsourcing to fund competitors is as unlikely as saying end all outsourcing. We'll see how far this goes but if we fight this like we should I don't see any contract being signed within the next few years.

I'm not aware of a replacement aircraft for the 50-seat CRJ / ERJ.

What am I missing here?

We've got a lot of mess cleaning up to do in our next contract.
