First class passengers carried by food stamp recipients. Does it come with I-Pod docks? |

Yes I know that we would all rather have them flown by mainline, but here we are and I am glad that something is looking up for the guys at Comair. Hope ASA gets some good news too. | |

nah, kind of like replacing 2 older 50's for one new 90. maybe we fly less planes, but capacity actually increases. of course crews don't need to be added with this trade but that can be a good thing...less crews, more capacity, maybe that'll mean better pay (i know that probably won't happen, but it should). would be sweet to ditch all the 50's for 70/90's...imagine jfk with half the number of "small" regional aircraft clogging up the works. then there is the question of whether a 76 seat aircraft is still a "regional" a/c...i don't know, but there should be an industry wide solution to that. and no "special" concessions for some carriers to get 90/100/etc..seat a/c and still operate as a regional. thats crap. pick a number, stick to it, support it. | |

When the CRJ-900 first appeared on the planet, it was configured with 6 first class and 78 coach for MAG's HPX flying. HP soon realized that most of those seats were filled by cheap upgrades, not full-fare tickets, so the cabins were reconfigured for 86 coach. Having that first class seat in that tube makes a world of difference. The snacks and service may still be questionable, but that added leg and elbow room is great.
