Cruz you guys don't fly in the Caribbean, you fly in the Bahamas! AMR already announced that they ATR will be gone from Miami by late fall, the ERJ is set to cover much of this flying! As far as the Caribbean I wouldn't be surprised to see CRJ or another aircraft equivalent out of Miami doing the routes that don't support an AA 737. The ERJ goes to La Romanam, DR add another 30 minutes and they could be serving STT & STX. The reason I say CRJ or equivalent is that the ERJ is not certified for ditching where the CRJ is (currently Eagle is not configured for this). But as long as you keep a spec of dust within 50 miles they are fine and it's being done already!
