It's interesting how the economics of these 76 seat jets are SO MUCH better than the 50 seater. I mean, add 26 seats and all of a sudden we have a goldmine. Kind of like saying the A319 is so much less profitable than the A320. Then, they are even more of a goldmine if we agree to let them be flown at 6 different B-scale airlines that compete against each other with wages and cuts on safety programs and culture. If we only had a contract that had payscales for these airplanes we want to outsource. Oh wait.

I just wonder how long it will be until all of a sudden these new 76 seaters are no longer economical. Until then we will have thousands of RJ pilots struggling to make ends meet, and our scope will continue to resemble something like.....
