But what's the bigger threat to the NB job? It's. It not the 50 seater that's going back and forth to AEX, LCH, CRW, or wherever else.
Who takes 50 seaters into CRW? Every UAX flight I've been on, two and from CRW, has been a 37 seat Dash 8 from CommutAir.

My #1 item to be addressed as indicated by my contract survey just completed a few hours ago. Hope everyone does the same.

This was a failure of the policies UAL had at the time. Same thing will not happen if the exact situation arises again on a UAX flight.

Must depend on the hub. Took a 145 there plenty from various places.

ORD-CRW is RJs. Has been since the 90's.

I think Piedmont or PSA tried to go cliff diving with a CRJ on takeoff. The EMAS saved them after starting takeoff roll with no flaps, subsequently trying to reset the flaps, and then trying to abort.

I've taken a 737-200 into CRW.

Back in the early 2000's ACA used to fly our ORD-CRW. it was the only non stop. We used to refer to them as the "Official Airline of the Jerry Springer Show" lol

It was PSA. Piedmont didn't have jets at the time.

Delta has used 737s and I think 319s into there, too.

Is LCH, AEX, and all those little airports going to get anything bigger anytime soon?
Mesa gonna take over the ExpressJet routes there?
