The 717 rumor is back, and being floated by some people.

It will never happen. Just more 100 seat wishful thinking. They don't want 100 seaters. If they did, they'd already have them. Just like cargo.

When your primary business is making stuff, you go out and buy the stuff that you need to make stuff. You then announce "hey everyone! We make stuff! Come buy it!" That's how you eventually put cash in the till. If you are the people who actually make it, it's pretty much the only way to go.

On the other hand, when your primary business is getting other people to make stuff, you go out and get other people to make stuff, and then announce "hey everyone, we have other people making stuff, which we sell! Come buy it!", and the people who actually make the stuff announce "hey everyone! We are making stuff for XYZ, so we're buying the stuff that makes it!"

Which cateogry do we fall into?
