If 50 seaters are so insanely uneconomical, I can't immagine 70 seaters or 90 seaters with 76 seats installed can be that much better.
In any case, 255 of the large ones is way over the top and that number needs to be radically slashed in C2012 or it gets sent back to the NC, even if they take their toys and go home, quit and have to start over.
That's almost impossible to break out...
Not to defend the RJs, but the CRJ900 carries 50% more pax and offers the "premium opportunities" (have to put that in quotes) for higher revenue. Delta pilots ought to be flying it and the Embraer E-jets...
