Because US Airways is cheap.

Maybe "Thrifty" would be a better analogy??

They might be wanting to test the new plane without the headach of failed IFE to deal with...

It could easilly be retrofitted later...

Just my guess, they didnt ask my input!!

One reason only. They do not know how many to buy. If the hourly rate for C/O stays at $95 for a 12 year pilot, and at food stamp rates for F/Os..look for hundreds of 190's to replace 737s and small ABs, with IFE installed. If the rate is negotiated to a much better rate..Boeing here we come. Simple as that. Greeter.

$97,000/year now qualifies for foodstamps? Where can I sign up?

$97,000 a year for a First Officer on a narrow body? What airline?

Too bad all the young ones are furloughed. Maybe they'll come back with the EMB-190.

Young or old, who cares. As long as he can give you a fur coat and no STD's...and you guys think the customers are demanding! 😉

MidAtlantic, the division that never existed, had some REALLY REALLY HAWT F/O's and captains 🙂 (and I didn't see a ring on their finger either!)

Unfortunately, the young F/As will be coming back too :down: We'll have to bump them all over the place. HA! And they think we can't work a computer. I can SWAP, SAP, AIL, ETB, reeel quick.
