I think it's obvious. They don't even have to spin it. It looks like the majority of flying will be done by 70 seaters. While we flew 70 seaters in the past, for whatever reason, we don't anymore. It seems as though some thought the "little airplane flying" wasn't good enough for us.
Without getting into a union discussion, we should not have given away our ability to fly these airplanes. We can't expect management to put a 124 seat airplane on every new route they start.
What we should do is point out how 70 seaters used to be good enough for us and to state the obvious, that we need to find a way to get that flying back.
