E-170: 20
I am not even sure which ones are 50 seaters - I am pretty sure the 200's and the 145s - which total 348.
348/2 = 174 more large RJs at the stupendously ridiculous ratio of 2:1.
So the 50 seaters are dying a natural death and we are going to give up to 174 more large RJs to speed up the process????
We are making big $$$$. The company wants a quick deal. We are done with concessionary contracts.
This would be concessionary!!!
Can you say Hello DPA?

Scoop,
Not to disagree with your point at all, but my guess is the number is about
100 new Large RJs based on RA comments that he wants to see the 50 RJ fleet reduced down to about 150 aircraft.
This is unacceptable anyway you look at it.
