That could be true but a roadshow audience is just a random snap shot.

Maybe then those routes can make more profits. That helps everyone. Where would the 717s fly to? Maybe current 76 seat routes that could make even more money? Now you are starting to understand.
I don't really understand this Bill, why do you want to make outsourcing more profitable for Delta?
The 717s are neat jets and the pay raises are just sitting there for the taking, but they're not worth making outsourcing more profitable.
