This bind they are in now was their own doing and one of the downsides of the outsource and whipsaw scheme. We can fly the 76 seaters profitably. I know it to be a fact. You know what would make the company wildly profitable....outsource all our flying to the lowest bidder. You advocating for these NB replacements takes us closer to that MGT goal. It has to stop. Stopping requires decelerating.....more 76 seaters is accelerating towards MGTs goal of outsourcing our domestic system. 76 seaters are capable....50s are not.
So, the 150 50 seaters won't be replaced? Their routes will be immediately dropped? I'd think the 70 seaters would cover most of them, and 76 seaters would cover for current 70 seat routes. What about the 717s? Where will they fly? 21 DC9s will go away, but after that I would think they would cover 76 seat routes, searching for more profits. You seem to forget about where the 717s would be deployed to.
