Does Bastian get a deal if he orders CRJ parts two years early?
I think they have to schedule the overhauls well in advance. I don't think they can just get squeezed in this year. Also, the 50 seater retirements scheduled in conjunction with this TA are contingent upon B717 delivery. So there is a timeline that's been created. 717's come, then 76 seaters come, then 50 seaters parked. Just my observation.
