Jump to postDoes anyone think an Eastern and Piedmont merger would have worked out? Eastern could have built up a nice hub in CLT and just used ATL for O/D.

Jump to postWhat they need to come up with are some rules that would force airlines to only schedule as many flights as can be staffed. All of these flights being cancelled due to no crews are going to come back to bite the airlines in the ass.

Jump to postI would assume that Hawaiian carries a significant amount of cargo between the islands. Not sure there are any props big enough to carry all the bags, mail, and cargo that currently is flown by the 717 fleet. Could an ATR 72 carry the same amount of cargo as a 717?

Jump to postOn the ATR 72 there is cargo between the cockpit and passenger cabin. The cabin aisle continues all the way to the cockpit and divides the forward cargo hold into two sides behind the passenger door. It’s a neat little area to “hang out” in lol.
