I thought the ATRs were specific to the APA scope clause- by tail number. Unless something changes with APA (not saying it won't, but until then) Q400s aren't an option.

Scope is going out the window APA's best bet is to try and cap it at 70 seats.

How full are the ATR flights in DFW and the Caribbean?

CzechAirman

That's a long flight in a turboprob between Dallas and the Caribbean. Why wouldn't you use a jet for that?

Really? Sometimes it seems you try too hard...

Scope may be going out the window, but that hasn't happened yet. Until it does, Colgan or anyone else won't be flying Q400s for AA. How many Q400s and qualified pilots does Colgan have lying around by the way?

N927EV

I don't even think colgan or commutair can find enough pilots for what they have now. I've heard attrition is high at commutair as well.

Sure about that? That kool-aid must be delicious!

I mean, do you guys get off on call each other kool-aid drinkers? Geeze most over used word throughout these threads.

You are a troll. Probably some sad individual who lives in his mom's basement, eating oatmeal, and convincing himself that soon he will lose his "baby fat".

Let me leave you with this piece of advice: try some originality. Aviation forum catch phrases like "kool-aid" and "shiney jet" are old and tired. While you accuse everyone else of drinking "kool-aid" you fail to notice that in fact YOU are the one guzzling it down.

Just like those "alternative" kids in high-school who dressed in all black because they considered themselves to be "different" but failed to realize they were just like all the other goth/alternative kids..listened to the same music and wore the same clothes. They traded one type of originality for another.

But, alas like I said before you are simply a troll. You don't work for Eagle, and I'm certain you have never transported one passenger in a 121 environment...I would be shocked if you have ever even piloted an aircraft that did not require hooking up a joystick to your computer.

Moving on....
