Actually the CRJ 900s are going to their own new concourse in CLT near the E gates.

It should be completed by the time the e190s come on property, which will operate from the C gates at CLT.

Btw, Air Wisky is not going to be the big player in CLT. The wholly owneds will continue to dominate that market.

Good. It should all be in place and ready just about the time WN announces CLT as their newest city.

Looks like it will be Virgin and not Southwest that'll be moving in.

I thought Mesa had 30 plus CRJ 900s flying right now. I do know that I counted 8 CRJ900s parked around the C Con yesterday in CLT when we taxied by. Made it look like it was their whole terminal.

It's bull. First and foremost, Mesa won't be around CLT much longer. Air Wisconsin is taking their place.

Air Wisconsin is looking a bigger aircraft they have MONEY remember. ALPA mainline will allow maximum of ninety-three (93) CRJ-900, or other aircraft within the seating and maximum take-off weight limits specified operated in revenue service at any given time at Express Carriers

You are correct on both counts.

Air Wisconsin is calling a lot of shots now because of their seat on the BOD and vested interest in US.

Well, I would not be surprised to see Air Wis get into larger aircraft, esp since the 50 seat CRJ is falling out of favor. It would be smart on their part to expand into other areas.

IMO, with the size of the E-190 order, it is less likely that their will be a sizable order of CRJ-900's, even though the scope may allow for it. Afterall, as it was pointed out before in this thread, the B737's appear to be staying around for now and the CRJ-900 is rather limited in capability.

I would bet instead that AW gets into either the E-170/175 themselves (cannot get the E-190), and I also think their is a good possibility that they may purchase themselves a larger precentage of US Airawys' Express flying with a purchase of PDT and/or PSA.

While either sounds like a dumb move alone, if purchasing one of the wholly owneds with the ability to add 70 seat aircraft at either carrier (CRJ + DHC-8/400), then it becomes a much more attractive move.

IMO, Airways has made thier intentions clear with the purchase of the E-190, and any growth for the express carriers will be in the 70 seat range, either with props or jets...
