Economics has sentenced the 50 seaters to death. Even RA is on record admitting it.
So why would you want to keep RJs around longer, giving them newer shiny new jets?
Oh yeah, so we can get used 717s that nobody wants. Nevermind.

We are making the threat of DCI more long term now. Replacing worn out POS planes with new ones that passengers love. Most passenegrs cannot tell the difference between a EMB175 and a 737. They hate the little cramped 50 seaters. We are giving them mainline similar airplanes...brand spankin new. Come on people...DCI is turning into mainline but without our pilots!
