That's the rumor, but it would be too expensive to overhaul the 700's to where they can absorb 10+ cycles a day. I think what you're more likely to see is the 700's exit the fleet and be replaced with E-175s.

I heard the same thing. Too many challenges for that to actually take place. It would also be a financial and logistic nightmare. It would be a huge mistake to take that on at this time.

Pointless battle or worth emailing or calling crew scheduling??

If they don't let me trade, they'll still be below reserve buffer either way ?!?
If you're not trying to trade but drop, there's another, much easier way to ensure you get the time off you need. it's a quick phone call away.

If you nicely email them and the days you're trying to switch to have worse coverage, they might do it.

As for the other stuff, some E175's (new? current?) might replace the Dulles 700's which might then go to Hawaii for Go! Part 2, except it might be a partnership with mainland mainline? We already killed Aloha, I guess they want to go back and finish the job with Hawaiian. I've heard the A330 freight rumor, but even if it's credible I can't see the union ever agreeing to what the company would pay pilots to fly it.

And where are the pilots coming from to do any of this? If their plan is to go public to pay for it all, I think they're vastly overestimating how much cash flow that would bring.

Mesa tried that the first time and failed miserably. Also had $300 million cash in the bank when they could have invested that money wisely. Instead, management decided to attempt to run two companies (who were in BK at the time) in order to take over inter-island flying with CRJ 200s with more miles than a dirty truck stop hooker without a spare.
Out of that brilliant idea came two lawsuits and bankruptcy.
BTW, should google go airlines lawsuit. Pretty entertaining read...especially the one involving a mesa manager who resigned due to a "porn addiction" after the feds confiscated hard drives that were somehow wiped clean of all evidence.

Funny story.

Making go again wouldn't make any sense. It would have to be a code share agreement

True. But who would go to Hawaii for those wages?! Nope!

Exactly commuting home from Dallas or IAD isn't to bad but commuting to Hawaii?! This is why I assume this to be false so many FOs would leave after being displaced there.

Heard that from a few people past few weeks. After ejets replace the 700s in KIAD they'd be moved for another Hawaiian venture.

Would that mean that a CRJ CA could displace into a EJET CA slot? I'd be downgraded if that happened!
