There are plenty of Regionals in a good spot. Here at TSA things are going up and up and up. I mean if we staff what we were awarded we will get even more. PSA looks good, Air Wisky, Go Jet (yuck), PDT, Horizon, Skywest are all good stable places I would think.

You have an all 50 seater operation.

Just wait until the price of oil goes way back up, then let's see how quickly mainline starts parking 50 seaters again.

We are the US launch customer for the MRJ. We are getting 50 with options for 50 more. Trans States holdings has an order of 50 175s with an option for 50 more.

I have been told by people for 8 years that 50 seaters are going away, yet for us the reality is the opposite.

We will also own our jet leases so they can't be taken away from us by United if we have staffing or performance issues.

Who exactly will you be flying the MRJ for? Ever heard of scope?

Mesa parked all 50 seaters XJT currently parking 50 seaters, American Eagle currently parking 50 seaters, Chatauuuuuqua parking all its 50 seaters. AWAC's UsAir 50 seat contract only has a year left.

But your right, 50 seaters aren't going anywhere.

Mainline CAN and WILL take away flying whether or not you own the airplanes.

You make me LOL

Mesa too. They are like the cockroaches of aviation...they're never going away. Air Whiskey isn't in a stable place.
