We just got an email from Vicky Stennes informing us about the 190s are going down to BNA for an extensive software upgrade that will greatly improve the dispatch reliability. The reason the 145s are coming from ExpressJet is because 2 aircraft will go down to BNA at a time and that will reduce the number of spares to 1 or 2. So if planes go down we will not have a spare and will be forced to cancel flights to strong markets.

So being proactive the company secured 4 145s and crews to operate flights to JFK, IAD, BOS, BUF and RIC. Customers will be contacted and offered a $25voucher for the reaccomidation on the RJs.
