Well, to all the eaglets who were going to call Dougie's bluff, guess there was no bluffing. I don't think any CEO could not back his words up no matter how severe they were or they would be taken advantage of.

TSA, Piedmont, and another carrier to be named later.

I feel like lately we have been watching the trading deadline for a sports league. Unfortunately I play for a team that won't be going to the playoffs and is trading all our star players.

Where's Charlie? I wonder if he's picked his mic back up yet.

Who could be the unnamed carrier? The only other airline I can think of who flies 145s is Chautauqua and they're getting out of the 145 business.

Thought it was already rumored to be ExpressJet. Did someone not already say that somewhere else? Or was that said on the company forum? Oh well, what ever. I've heard Expressjet.

I totally forgot about them. Interesting...

Its easy to forget the largest 145 operator on the planet...

Thank your ALPA brethren.

It is easy to forget because they're not bidding on flying as they do not know what their costs are without a JCBA.

Thank yourselves.

How would that work transferring Envoys to Expressjet? They have entirely different FMS's. Would they switch them out?

Train them on both.

The Universal is pretty redneck-proof, so I don't think that's an insurmountable battle.

They are are actively bidding on flying. The people that made the choice to not bid on flying are no longer with the company.

FMSs aren't hard to learn.

I wouldn't like seeing eagle planes come here to XJT. At least we wouldn't have taken a bribe to help screw over eagle though.

CHQ ran with two different FMS for a long time. They work completely different, but not it isn't that bad.

Or don't train them and let the figure it out on the line, saves more money.

That's how CHQ did it.
