Because it's the least credible rumor I've heard. I hear a lot of rumors.

at some point nearly every month some guy from just about every company out there comes on here sayin he has something fat and juicy that he cant wait to tell, but he's not allowed to yet cuz his frontline source told him not tell. then about a week passes, things kinda just fizzle out and the week goes by with yet another answer.

wasnt there some huge rumor or announcement BB was supposed to have by the end of last year and absolutely nothing occurred. stick to the ill believe it when i see it mentality and you dont have to start tastin the koolaid only to have the glass ripped out of your hand.

My turn. Here is how it will go down. If you remember during Airway's last financial trouble time, they got rid of their wholly owned 170 operations to a regional (republic) and put their furloughed pilots to work at said company. This time, it will be 190's. They will furlough the same j4j guys and strike up another deal with republic to allow the j4j's to come over.

Yeah right, with the airline shrinking and furloughs happening thats real likely to happen.

I'm fairly certain the E190s are on the mainline certificate anyway. It's nothing like the midatlantic operation.

IIRC from what the J4J's have told me, the MidAtlantic 170s were on the Airways certificate. Thats part of their lawsuit with respect to how the furlough was handled, i.e. return on first year pay.
