I don;t think we should allow any more at DCI.. but I wouldn't spend a nickle to get 'em on the property here.
That's unfortunate. Was it only 10 years ago Northwest flew the DC-9-10 at mainline with 12 in first and 60 in coach? Now you outsource a fleet of those (with 4 more seats and 1,000nm more range) in twice the numbers of any existing mainline fleet.
