Good article on United Airlines fleet changes

I'll be in my bunk.

Ironically it was in CVG that day to transport an engine for a Convair 880. It had to be grounded itself for a few days waiting for an engine swap.

Just paint Connection in there somewhere.

The old-school DCI RJ paintjob that we had makes me go "hurk."

Modern Widget is much cleaner on a 'regional' jet.

No way in hell will I ruin a perfectly good picture by doing that.

Ask yourself. Do you want to fly a CRJ-900 for mainline on a mainline contract, or stay in the "Our RFP is lower that yo' RFP, hide yo' jets, hide yo' wife"?

I'll take "mainline contract" for 1000 Trebek.

I really need to stop by the Delta museum sooner than later.

I can't do the former without suffering the latter.

Oh, and our RFP probably isn't cheaper, but on average, we complete the (expletive) schedule nowadays, which ironically puts us ahead of the competition.

Hmmm...sooooo many possibilities...but they'd all probably get deleted by the mod.

This is just all kinds of awesome.

Our running joke is the next EMS bird we need is a C130. That way the hospital can just drive the ambo on and off and not worry about a ride on the other end.

And then Gojet gets awarded new planes.

I… I…. I …. work for United Express.

GoJets?

Ah ah ah…. United Express.

This also leads to a need for fewer pilots.

No it doesn't.

The example they gave, SFO-ORD now requires 6 pilots. By consolidating to a WB, they only need 2.

They aren't going to park those narrow bodies, they are going to redeploy them on another city pair.

I'm really happy with some of the 'reintroduced' layovers in the bid packets on the Airbus and 737.

That's not what your mother said last night.
