Yeah I would love to see some more E-175/190s in the system esp flown by someone other then S5. I guess we'll be getting more of an influx of them through CP now since the merger. I have to say there are way to many connection carriers! I wish it was like the old days when there was just 2 or 3 of us. Yes, OO did manage to take the CR9 possibilites away from us a couple of years ago when they bought us b/c we were going to take delievery of it until OO said they wanted it! I've heard we will be getting some CR9's in the spring but of course that is rumor. Our pilots have been doing training on the aircraft so time will tell. Probably EV as far as flying is concerned is OK but the ground staff issue is more shakey.
BTW the CR7's are now becoming just as unreliable as the CR2s.
Hope all is well over at OH and wish you luck!
PS I did TDY in BTV which was really quite an experience to say the least since it is an OH station. Is it true that OH did away with the TDY program?
