Last Friday when he didn't post anything I knew there would be bad news in the next update. He didn't want to ruin the Labor Day weekend for anyone. That was nice of him.... BARF!
Now it looks like I will be updating my resume. I thought I'd survive this absolute nonsense. Guess not.

Anyone know the schedule of the next batch of Saab leases to come up? What about 200s?

200s are not going anywhere. The next batch of Saab lease expires sometime in 2010. Stop stressing over this issue because there is something in the works for XJ in 2010. This comes from DAL planning dept. RA of DAL has said numerous times in the past that he intends to turn Mesaba into an all jet fleet by 2012. Looks like he is following through with his plans.

But all jet fleet doesn't mean adding anything.... That might just be the time it will take to return all the saabs.... then look, all jet fleet! Where is this info? Im not saying its not true, but i just havn't seen anything official.

Just connect the dots. Mesaba has never been shy about furloughing before, and yet look at the actual numbers of people furloughed so far. Less than 20. Combine that with sources that says expect something positive in 2010. CRJ9s and CRJ2s are making money. I expect to see increased utilization of CRJ9s in 2010.

DAL has never said it will be an all jet fleet, that is just assumed rumor. If they plan on introducing a new turboprop then that announcement will come later. For DAL to not have a turboprop in the largest airline is foolish. The new ATR is launched on OCT 1st of this year, I'm optimistic that they may purchase this airplane since it has a 50 and 70 variant. It has no mainline scope restrictions and is cheaper to operate than the Q400.
