Oh come on now. What are we basing this on?
The Avro had 69 seats. The interior had both a first class and an economy class section.
Only difference now, are 7 more seats (total 76 seats).
So what are you basing your opnion on? The "looks" of the airplane? It "looks" mainline?
Mesaba had 36 Avro jets, those all retired, and now they are getting 36 CRJ900s.
Good for them I say, and hopefully all 225~ furloughed Mesaba pilots get called back.
