Compass Airlines to Operate 20 E175's

[AdAstraPerAspera]

The Ejet is a far more comfortable aircraft esp. for longer haul flying.

 
the E-195 has a max range of 2,400 nm, I would hardly call that a "long haul" flight

 

[WorldTraveler]

for domestic applications, that covers a significant portion of the N. American continent.

the E195 wasn't marketed nor does anyone think it is a transoceanic aircraft.

compared to other regional jets, the E195 can go a lot of distance.

but let's just see how far AA decides to use them from LAX.

methinks we'll see DTW or MSP to LAX on AA and DL do the same from ORD to SEA and LAX.

For the most part they are worked by the regional. 
 
Delta does some ML handling in places like ATL, CVG and LAX. Delta also does most of the CF34 engine work, but its the only CF34 shop in North America.

Point of order: At DL, mainline handles CP pretty much everywhere there's M/L staff. Only place I can think of that doesn't is Shuttle flights ex-LGA...

... and Shuttle flights that are operated on CP - and the percent of those flights just shrunk by 1/3.

and I'm still waiting for the number of ACS stations where DL has its own personnel but in terms of cities served by mainline, AA/US serves 92 cities in the US with its own aircraft while DL serves 141 cities on the same basis, and for UA it is just 68

ah holdover from the NW contract yes? 
 
and FWIW CP doesn't do the Shuttle, its S5(Shuttle America) 

 

[Kev3188]

Yep; CP flights were part of our scope.

Thx for the info on Shuttle Flights. I had CP on the brain, but should've said we handle 170/175's almost everywhere (regardless of operator)...

does S5 still operate those Saab 340s?  Used to work them and hated them

Looking at the S5 Cert, I'd say NO

no just E70/E75.

What? You didn't like walking RIGHT BEHIND a running engine to unplug the GPU?

How about the Jetstream, and being right in front of a spinning prop to unplug the GPU? Or a Bandaratti

 

[Hope777]

I Think maybe the Metro's were the worse

I think the J31 wins by a nose, with water meth, the pod, and the "carry on closet" besting the Metro's nose compartment &  being so high off the ground (we didn't have belts at the  I worked them at)...
