Re: Jets for Rex
6 x emb170 for Rex?
Bollocks.
If (if!) rex has placed an order, then its news to Embraer. Nothing in their press room. Nothing on their published orders.
If (if again!) rex is secretly ordering aircraft, then they are at the end of a farking long queue. Plenty of time to write ops manuals in the three or so years it might take till the production line catches up to an order placed in late 2005/early 2006.
Several types to serve the market better and grow the market?
Double bollocks.
Just ask JQ. As soon as the last 717 goes ta-da's and A320 are doing all the runs, their cost per seat mile FALLS. Yeah, big aeroplane into little ports, but one type, one set of pilots, sops, etc etc. Those numbers are from the top.
Its a wind up.
