Speaking of whipsaw, I'd love to see DALPA's numbers but frankly, I'd toss them aside hoping to see the real numbers from the company. And if I got to see those numbers, I'd toss them aside. Because i think when you get to figuring out DCI costs it becomes subjective. Because how do you quantify the success of a whipsaw when some of the success was strictly up to a pilot vote?

So honestly, looking at the hard numbers I have to still say the CRJ-900 is a heck of a threat to mainline aircraft like the 88 or 319 just as much as the 737-900 is to the 767-300, some old 757s and old A320s but as we know from the press release, not MD88s.

Or wait, did someone mention they're now telling us the 739 is a growth aircraft?
