Or is 255 76 seat RJ's a hard cap, regardless of mainine fleet size?
And then what happens if later, if the mainline fleet shrinks? Do RJ's go down at 3 to 1?
They get to keep the 76 'rs. Get 717's, hold on to the DC9 until they can convert the remaining 70 to 76 seaters, and then the company can (and will) go as low on the mainline as they like
We could see a lot more NB flying go away with section 1 as written
