EXPERIENCED CREW? is the ad stating that US is not safe to fly? hmmmmm that will be looked into...... understand something idiot.. its always been the price people dont care about the 50 seater.. read the ad again...
The only thing I was able to comprehend from that mostly incoherent babble is that the whole point of the ad was apparently lost on you. So, as Moe Howard would say, I'll explain it so even
you can understand it.
Southwest does not operate RJ's.
Still with me?
The message in that commercial is that when you book a flight on any legacy carrier, you have a better than average chance of riding on an RJ. And if you book on US Airways -- whom I am assuming is the primary target of the ad -- the odds are much higher that you'll get an RJ, because they happen to have the highest RJ-to-mainline aircraft ratio of all the majors.
When you book on Southwest, you are absolutely assured of riding in a full-size jet. 100% of the time.
And people
do care about the 50-seater. They
hate them. Given the choice, they will fly a full-size jet every time. It's one thing if the RJ is going to a small market from a hub. But US Airways flies RJ's from PIT to BOS, LGA, EWR, DCA, etc.
And if US Airways is making so much money in PIT, why are they abandoning it? And if there is no money to be made in PIT (like there was no money to be made in California; no money to be made in Florida, etc.) why is Southwest
expanding in PIT, like they did everwhere else that US Airways gave up on?
With regard to experience, the RJ operators are so desperate for pilots, that they are practically recruiting them right out of the dorms at Embry-Riddle. One regional (that flies hundreds of daily flights coded "US") is hiring pilots with only 200 hours. That's 50 hours less that the FAA minimum for a commercial pilot certificate. Southwest's standards to fly a full-size 737 are much higher.
And BTW, I can't "read the ad again". It's a television commercial.
Now
who's an idiot?
