Sure they are. As is Alaska. Speaking of that, there are far more jobs at the base of the pyramid than at the top anyway, but I digest.

Anyway there is no way the company is going to give all that up forever just for some more 76 seaters. That makes no sense whatsoever. If that is how this is packaged and sold, we will be crushed at the next force majeure event even assuming it gets that far and we won't constructively engage it away prior to then.

Like I said, if they really need more 76 seaters to bail them out of a multibillion dollar long term lease mistake, wouldn't they give icon clad sunsets to all of DCI over 50 seats once that crisis has passed? Or will the new additional large RJ's supposedly needed for this one time deal be permanent?
