That would help. Whatever comes down to the pipe on the smaller end here's to hoping it's ours without question. And I mean they announce it and nobody questions where it's headed.
The 717 would trump the E190 (it sounds like from our JB friends) but I'll take the E190 as a plan B. But the cabin alone on the E190 would be the best in the airline if we ordered it.
The best part is the 717s and E190s could show up in 2012 without a problem.
Plan C would be the C-Series. I just wish it existed right now and could roll in 2012 and be everything they promise. Because if it is, it'd be a great long term plane.
