How could anyone say with a straight face this wasn't a hit piece on Allegiant? Because it was based on facts. Four times more incidents than other airlines. Something is not right. It makes no sense to defend this. "facts" are funny things. I'm going to leave this here: http://visualappr...
Jump to postSaab Cpt here.....Saab 34B burns 1200pds the first hr with accounts for takeoff and climb and 1000pds per hr there after......Sf34a is 1000pds first hr and 800 pds thereafter Thanks. So the ATR 42 does indeed burn slightly less or the same than the SAAB 34B. I flew with 30 passengers + bags and a l...
Jump to postThe ATR42 is an extremely economical platform, with things like fuel burn for example not significantly more than the Saab 340. On the old ATR 42-320, I normally get a figure of just under 400 kg pr hour. I looked up the figures for the SAAB 340, and while I didn't find any QRH or AOM, all sources ...
Jump to postWithout ages, the list is irrelevant. You can't compare the value of an 8 year-old E190 with a 15 year-old A319.
Jump to postSome yes, as a 30 year aviation professional I believe so and as far as the European style of training , how did Ab-inition work for the Air France flight out of Rio over the Atlantic ?

Jump to postC Series is wider by about 6 inches, I believe. It has the same capacity as the 717, perhaps a few seats more depending on how Delta configures.
Jump to postHere's what people don't understand about the 1,500 hour rule: The quality of regional pilots is quantifiably lower than it was before the 1,500 hour rule. Airline training failure rates for new pilots have doubled, and sometimes tripled since the 1,500 hour rule went into effect due to a lack of co...
Jump to postOh dear lord, this again. The price wasn't anywhere near $20M. Simple math from Bombardier's financials and onerous charges and you can back-solve to a high 20's number.

Jump to postWhen was the last 737-700 ordered? I think it was like 2010, except for a few white-tails and BBJs. Boeing is afraid of the C Series because it's a good airplane and they blocked the deal with a large checkbook. Good for them, good for United, and not necessarily as bad for Bombardier as you may thi...

Jump to postJust like Delta has different rates for 110-seaters and 130-seaters, so does United.
CS100 is the same as the E-195
CS300 is the same as the A319
No hidden agendas.
