TA 2012
76 x 223 = 16,948

50 x 125 = 6,250
Total 30,338 Seats and 450 RJs
So the total number of RJs and the Total number of RJ seats will be going down - by itself this is good. But what is troubling is that the 50 seaters would be going away anyway. Another wildcard is frequency - which maybe the new Block Hour ratios would help with.
Food for thought.

Without the purchase of more 900's, the 50 seaters would die a very slow death and wouldn't go away until 2022.
