I was just thinking.....

Hasn't RA said that they only see a need for 100-150 of the 50 seaters due to economics?
If we kept our 255 limit, wouldn't that only be 405 RJs eventually worst case?

I'd be inclined to think that this would be better than the 450 limit. I'm not sure why we would think about helping out with anymore of the 70/76 seat growth.

255 was supposed to be a line in the sand, until I see that in the TA, I will most likely vote NO. I do understand that turboprops, and other technologies are added, but why not let DCI die as it is rather than put them on life support with these larger RJs. DAL has shown no interest in the props, and the GTF technology isn't here yet. There is no hurry to sign a TA now, I'd rather take another 6-12 months and get it right.
