I hear you. They also need to take account of the preference of each base. Day lines in DTW only make few people happy.

The thought of another summer on the fitty was my prime motion for joining the parade of FOs to the 700/900, especially with Critical Mass Volume II well on the way

Lord have mercy, check Brads update. The Embraer's sales team is flying in the E175 to ATL on the 15th to show it off to the company, test flight and all. Employees invited. The picture is starting to get clearer with the large rj rates for l-xjt
One rumor I did hear was Republic got the first round of Eagle flying because AMR wanted the E175 only, and it was impossible for SKYW to meet the time frame with a new fleet type.

Most regionals would buy 18-wheelers if that's what Delta told them to do.

Let me get this straight - Embraer is coming to ATL to sell ASA the E175? Why would they include ASA, since buying them without Delta telling ASA to do so would never happen? Seems like a waste of time and money for Embraer, spending their time with someone (in this case, company) who isn't the decision maker.

Same thing. Why would Embraer court ASA when it should be courting UAL? They decide what regional feed exists, not ASA.

UAL could give ASA/Xjet 76 seat flying and I'm pretty sure ASA/Xjet could pick which one to fly given they make the agreement with UAL.
