personal rant...if you are going to pilot an aircraft, know your aircraft. Especially if you have been piloting that aircraft for more than a year. No excuse to not know fundamental call outs and fundamental information vital to the safety of the aircraft operation in operations other than straight and level smooth air conditions. Know your go around callouts. New pilots just coming online seem to be better equipped to fly than veteran pilots. Don't get complacent.

If you a legitimate complaint about someone, go to pro-standards, airing a whiny/dirty laundry rant on a public forum makes you look like a complete d-bag.

It is with great sadness that I am announcing FaceBiten's retirement from APC. I will still lurk as an observer but won't post anymore. In fact I don't even know the password and am deleting it from my stored passwords so I can't log in.
Brofist to FaceBiter for the name inspiration. Hope you earn your 4th stripe one day. 10 years is a long time to wait. Don't forget the ice flip cards this winter.
I look forward to the infinite continued ejet rumors.
Keep it classy up in here.

Just a a few examples of those who "retired"- only to to rise from the ashes like a Phoenix to return to the fracas.
P.S.
Was it ever "classy" in here???

Does anyone know if United is actually awarding 30 more EJets to one of the Express carriers for August delivery slots onward?
I was looking at Embraer's order book and didn't see any mention of United holding 30 additional delivery slots/options/orders after the 30th Mesa 175 is delivered.
If anyone finds anything other than baseless speculation on that rumored 30 airplane order/30 delivery slots, lemme know.

Several of the news releases that announced the order of the first 30 (around April 2013) said United also had options for 40 more. The total deal was worth $2.9b if United exercised all the options.

United firms five E175 options

United Airlines has firmed options for five Embraer 175s with deliveries in 2016, as it continues to replace small regional jets with the 76-seat aircraft.
The Chicago-based carrier says that it is “currently negotiating with certain regional carriers to own and/or sublease and operate” the aircraft, in a quarterly stock exchange filing on 23 April.
The aircraft come from the 40 E175 options that United placed in April 2013. It ordered 30 firm aircraft at the time.
Mesa Airlines leases and operates the 30 aircraft with the last delivery due later this year.
United also contracts Republic Airlines and SkyWest Airlines to operate 95 more E175s for it under the United Express banner. The last of these aircraft will be delivered in 2017.
The mainline carrier is in the process of reducing the number of 50-seat regional jets in its fleet, with its chief financial officer John Rainey reiterating plans to remove 130 of the small jets by the end of this year. Further reductions will occur as aircraft come off lease in the coming years.
