Now the labor rates are much higher and we pay for the fuel of the Qs and Saabs. The money coming in is not eualing the expenses to operate the props.

And no, cutting them wouldn't put us at a disadvantage, in fact, it would give us an advantage by increasing net liquidity $ of the company. Selling off assets raises money.
And then what happens when fuel goes up again and there is even more of an effort to get rid of 50 seat jets?
