We don't fly DH3's in and out of LGA. DH1's with 35 seats. You do have a point about load factors. But we have been told at PDT(EN) that we are just slot holders!? :huh:
PS: right now no additional 300's on the market for leasing.
Wrong!! Here are the 300's on the market from Bombardier alone.

Also the Horizon 200's have been sitting on the market for a while. Aircraft availability is not the...
Our 100's from the LGA operation can not be moved to PHX. The weight and performance issues the Dh 100's have would make the whole operation a waste of time . You would be better just parking them. But you could send all 11 DH 300's out there!! Or just get more 300's. :unsure:
Alot of our 100's cannot use the life extension cause they have the wrong spar. N906HA needs to retire anyway or start charging people cause we make history everytime she flies :up:
But yeah we need some replacment A/C and soon!!
I have never heard anyone say Dash 6, but I have heard Twater!! I think the UsArmy still has some Dash7's.
Everytime i here about this life extensions plan i think of that advert in the UsAirways magazine for Cenegenics with the 69 yr old Dr trying to look 30. :rolleyes:
No we don"t have Q's any more we operate DHC-8 102's & DHC-8 311's.
The DASH name was grandfathered from the DHC-7. Thats what i heard but if you know more please enlighten me :up:
Great,Island Air has the DHC-8 with the most cycles and we have the DHC-8 with the most time in the world...
