Agreed. Why is it our problem they keep signing and renewing long term leases? Dalpa seems quite ok with it.
Now to scare people they claim a "plan b" is to dump untold hundreds of meeeelions into ratty old 50 seaters (which the customers hate) if pilots don't allow them to replace them with many large 2 class RJs which will be here for 20 years.
Allowing these RJs under the tent will be seen as a watershed event 10 years from now (which is how far out management is thinking).
Schlitz wouldn't touch the 50 seaters.
