You can read the rest in the opener, but what you assert above ("when it comes to scope we deviate from that") isn't correct.
Maybe. But that would depend on what "production balance" even means, how its interpreted and what the language ends up being. For example, for every 20 fifty seaters that are parked, the company can outsource 19 CRJ900/905's and/or EMB170/175's. Technically, that could be defined as an improvement in the production balance, right?
Fewer large RJ's is fewer large RJ's though. How many fewer? That depends and gives a lot of flexibility, but at least its fewer. But we absolutely refuse to "go there" and the real question is why?
