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?
That's a pretty weak example IMO. You can't spin 20 50 seaters parked for 19 76 seaters delivered as a balance. Those airplanes have 26 more seats per airframe. That's not a balance at all. If anyone believed that, I want them to look at my ocean front property in Arizona that's for sale.
