You don't have to like LM, but make sure you are placing the blame in the right place...
IIRC, the max "large RJ limits" at DAL and NWA were greater than 255 currently allowed. Is that considered "reducing" DCI limits or not?
Well, should be easy to figure out. The first BAE flew for ASA in 1995, when they actually flew. They were a cronic POS and were down for Mtx constantly. Were a big embarassment during the Summer Olympics a year later. They were ditched in 98 for the crj 50.
However, the blame should go back to 1993, the year they introduced the the ATR 70 really.
So, would that be the illustrious B. Brown?
LM was the one that moved the "line in the sand" and brought us the crj 90's which is arguably more damaging.
