It's sad some of you guys dream about getting the Beech 1900 market back. Why stop at RJs? Every darn pilot should work for mainline, including the traffic watch guy in the C152! Especially that guy, he would look great in the hat and jacket.....

Some areas have already been outsourced, and it really would be cost prohibitive to recapture it. Routes to smaller cities, just won't make money with a 717. There is no way to compete with the whipsawed regionals to the smaller cities. So, cap 'em, ratio it, and concentrate on reducing outsourcing as best you can. But, if a route has to have an RJ, put one on there that does make money. Have a great day!
