Fwiw, was in the Cpo today and the total for 190s is said to be more like 50-60 instead of the reported 75. It's just not performing as planned.
The 13 comes from the daily news email on the 6th talking about the "name the plane contest". Says we will be getting 13 new jets this year (7 320's and 6 190's). Now how many are going away is another story.

So you've never enjoyed it then??... I flew the 145 for 5 years and loved it. IMO The -190 is a sorry attempt at a mainline aircraft. VNAV sucks, the FMS is not user friendly and the cockpit seats.. ugh... The hud is cool, and the airplane is good looking, but that's about it..

It is the junior airplane for a reason.

..printer fail.. printer fail...

Minus the printer fail, and you could apply all those bad things to the CRJ-200, too. Add in crappy climb performance, too.

I take it that there hasn't been anyone called for an interview since before the holidays.
