Congrats to you! I hope you like the ERJ!  |
And as the story goes, we were the launch customer for those things and for a short while they were all the rage. ACA and Ozark had them. They're gone also. For a number of reasons, now we're going. It's really hard to operate when the manufacturer goes under and the companies stop producing after market parts and events following Sept 11 mess us up enough, financially to not be able to go beyond training a couple crews for a new aircraft, much less buy some. The knife was Midwest putting out an RPG for routes. They were asking for something we couldn't come up with fast enough and they weren't going to help us out. It didn't fit their "vision". Higher fuel prices and an ever changing market necessitated the death of the 328Jet.
